Visit Kloster Lluc rather than tackle a long gorge hike
Kloster Lluc is a good choice for a relaxed visit: explore the grounds first, then head into the museum if a shower passes through. Afterwards, take a break at the monastery restaurant rather than packing the day with a long mountain hike. Save Torrent de Pareis, one of the Mediterranean’s most spectacular gorges, for a day with reliably dry weather, and check conditions before setting out.
Tomorrow, 31 October, scattered rain showers are again expected nearby, with a high of 19.6°C.

Climate in Escorca — Mallorca's Rainiest Municipality
Escorca sits at 481 meters, deep in the Serra de Tramuntana. It is the island's least densely populated municipality — and its most extreme in climate. Those who know Escorca know a Mallorca that is fundamentally different from the beach climate of the south.
The defining climate factor is precipitation. The Tramuntana range acts as a barrier for moist Mediterranean air: what is carried in from the north and northeast must rise, cooling as it goes. The result is high rainfall — the literature cites annual totals for the Tramuntana mountain core that are considerably above Palma's figure of around 470 mm. Verified station data specific to Escorca were not available for this article; qualitatively, the figures are a multiple of coastal values.
Temperatures are noticeably cooler than on the coast. In summer, Escorca is a refuge from the heat — the air at nearly 500 meters is perceptibly fresher than at the beaches. In winter, nighttime temperatures regularly drop below 5°C; frost is more common than on the coast. On the surrounding peaks, such as Puig Major (1,445 m), snow falls in severe winters. In Escorca itself, snow is less frequent but not unheard of.
Fog is a familiar sight: when moist air is pushed over the Tramuntana ridge, the Torrent de Pareis valley and the area around the monastery of Lluc can disappear into fog for hours at a time, while the sun shines down on the coast below.
The Torrent de Pareis — one of Mallorca's most celebrated hiking gorges — lies within the municipality of Escorca and may be impassable after heavy rainfall. Anyone planning to visit the canyon should keep an eye on the weather forecast for the region.
The article Tramuntana Wind Mallorca offers more on the Tramuntana's climate characteristics.
