Mallorca Circular hike from Sant Elm to La Trapa Monastery
Overview
Enjoy a gentle coastal walk on Mallorca from the picturesque village of Sant Elm to the peaceful sanctuary of La Trapa Monastery. This journey takes you through the rugged beauty of the island's landscape.

What To Expect
Embark on a guided hike from Sant Elm to the La Trapa Monastery. Enjoy the natural beauty of Mallorca and the stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, and explore the charming village of Sant Elm.
This walk is circular and has a moderately low ascending difficulty. The highlight of the route is the spectacular views of Sa Dragonera (“The
Dragon Island”), which lies just offshore on the southwest part of Mallorca, the 400-
year-old “Torre de Cala ses Bassets” Watchtower, and, of course, the ruins of Sa
Trapa Monastery, originally a Trappist Monastery which since the 1800s was
abandoned and fell into deterioration, ruin and obliviation. In 1980, this place was
acquired by the Balearic Nature Protection Organization, which started to rebuild
some monuments. La Tapa has been declared a “Special protection area for birds”
and a “Wildlife refuge.” Among its values are 14 varieties of Orchids and 16 endemic
species of plants and birds, such as the Balearic Warbler, Osprey, Black Vulture, and
Eleonor ́s Falcon. The area around La Trapa is being slowly rebuilt, and the idea is to
become a hikers’ refuge one day. For many, it also is the first or the last stage along
the GR-221.
