How long does the hike take and how long is the route?

Several walkers describe the trail as well signposted, with small arrows on wooden posts. At the same time, it is worth paying close attention to the markings, as some signs can be easy to miss. One note also mentions a no-entry sign that should not be confused with the actual route.
Can the route be combined with Cala Deià or other destinations?
Yes, reviews mention a detour to Cala Deià, and also a continuation from the Port de Sóller area towards the lighthouse. The Sóller–Deià section can also be used as part of the GR221 and the Tramuntana crossing. That makes it easy to plan the walk as a shorter section.
When is the best time to do the hike?
Several reviews mention heat as an important factor: at around 35°C the route becomes noticeably harder. At the same time, a large part of the trail runs through forest, which can provide some shade in summer. For calmer conditions, an early morning start is often recommended, especially in the warmer months.
What equipment should I bring?
Several walkers recommend sturdy footwear, as the trail is rocky in many sections and partly steep. Water and sun protection are also sensible, especially if you are walking in summer. If you plan a break, reviews mention Béns d'Avall Restaurant as a possible stop, and they recommend booking ahead.
