Santuari de la Mare de Déu del Puig

A challenging trek to the top but worth it for the views. The hardest part was the last 15 minutes going up and first part coming down as it is the old stone steps. These are very uneven and harder to walk on. The rest is a smooth road/path. Amazing views, when I went it was early morning to avoid the heat, so it was closed. Most of the building is sadly derelict. There are some benches there to sit at.

If anyone is in the town of Pollença or nearby and feeling fit enough, then I would recommend a trip up here. The monastery was closed which was disappointing, however it is a lovely walk to the top and a real achievement once we got there! The trail starts off as tarmac but around 2/3 of the way through changes to cobbles (which are very uneven, I have added a picture) and then to a gravelly, dirty type track. For our family the walk overall was fine- we only brought one bottle of water which wasn’t really enough for 3 of us but that just added to the challenge! At the top there isn’t really a lot to do- the building is nice and it’s nice architecture. As I said, if you already plan on visiting Pollenca and would like to drench your t shirt with sweat, feel accomplished and get 300m closer to God then I’d say go for it, wouldn’t necessarily recommend trekking just for this though- or at least not until the monastery is open!

A wonderful challenging climb, once by mountain bike latterly by e-bike but still the last 1/3rd dismount & heavy push. Sadly the monastery was no longer open & missed the previous simple but excellent meal of bread cheese olives & wine.

What an amazing view of the area. You can only walk up and it is quite challenging due to the steepness as you get to the last 500m. It's actually a total climb too 317m it's definitely going to get the heart pumping so if you have a health condition don't do it. You literally just walk from the main road near the town car park which is free as is the Sanctuary at the top. Toilets and small coffee shop at the top.

Good place to go for a small walk if you’re in the area. The hike is pretty easy. At the beginning just a road. Later, for last 15 min of walk ther’s some stone path which might be a bit problematic for someone. Pretty close to Pollenca, easy access. Not the most beautiful hike way but views during the way and at the end are nice and it’s worth to go. Cool to walk to warm up and move a bit. Even with not really sunny weather as I unfortunately had ;).

Nice viewpoint. Sadly santurai and bar seem to be closed permenantly. Within 40 minutes we arrived on top.

Amazing place - great for a retreat. You can sleep there and enjoy a calming weekend. You can also bring your own food and enjoy it in the garden - there are tables and places for barbeque. But you can also order food at the monastery's restaurant - simply amazing paella & bocadillos! The wine is good too. This used to be a an old monastery but now, for a small amount you can sleep overnight and enjoy this peaceful yet sublime place.

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Only accessible by foot, and once the paved road ends the cobble path may be difficult for some. It's a steady grade up as well, which some may also find challenging. It is so peaceful wandering around the grounds and buildings. Amazing views of the surrounding area.
