The Torrent de Fornalutx runs through the valley between Sóller and Fornalutx, shaping the fertile landscape with its course. Depending on the season, it carries water or reveals a stony streambed between orange groves and dry stone walls. A natural section that reflects the connection between the mountain world and agriculture in the Serra de Tramuntana.

We walked the circular route into the gorge, the way there via the Camí Vell and the way back along the Torrent de Biniaraix. Afterwards through the Sóller valley and the outskirts of the old town. Very rewarding!!
