An Introduction to the Cala Figuera Coastal Hike
This guided tour offers a beautiful journey along Mallorca’s southeastern coast, starting at Cala Santanyi and ending at the charming harbor of Cala Figuera. The route covers roughly four hours of easy walking, making it accessible to most travelers who want to enjoy nature without overexertion. The tour’s focus is on scenic vistas, natural landscapes, and the authentic maritime vibe of Cala Figuera, a little fishing village that feels like a secret tucked into Mallorca’s coast.
We like that the tour balances a relaxed pace with enough time to appreciate the views and explore the harbor. The experience is guided in both German and English, ensuring clarity and a personal touch. The small group size—limited to ten participants—means it’s intimate enough to ask questions and get personalized insights.
