Camí de sa Figuera: a family walk from Port de Sóller

The Camí de sa Figuera is a 6 km circular walk from Port de Sóller, in Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana. The outward leg takes you through olive groves, farmland and country houses in the Sóller valley. On the way back, you pass Repic Beach and follow the seafront around the bay.

Where the Camí de sa Figuera starts

Start on Carrer d’Antoni Montis in Port de Sóller and follow it to the roundabout by the Sa Mola tunnel. The old port path, Camí Vell des Port, also known as Camí de sa Figuera, starts on the other side of the road. If you’re driving, check the parking signs in the port.

From Port de Sóller to Can Tamany

Go through a wooden gate and look out for the remains of a lime kiln. A short climb brings you to a flatter stretch of olive groves. Cross the Son Llampaies stream and continue to a dirt track. Take the right-hand fork towards Coll d’en Borrassar and Sóller. The left-hand fork leads to the hamlet of Sa Figuera.

The old bridle path leads downhill to Can Penya. You’ll pass country houses and, if you’re lucky, see a flock of sheep. From Can Penya, follow the arrow downhill and take the left turn towards the houses of Can Tamany.

Can Tamany and the story of les Valentes Dones

In May 1561, corsairs landed at Ses Puntes and split into two groups. One followed the Camí de sa Figuera towards Sóller, where the raiders looted the church and took local people prisoner. Local tradition tells how the Casesnoves sisters defended themselves at Can Tamany, earning them the name les Valentes Dones, or the Brave Women. Sóller remembers its victory each May during Es Firó, which includes a commemorative Mass at Can Tamany.

From Can Tamany to Repic Beach

After Can Tamany, you reach the Ma-10. Stay on the same side of the road and follow the path alongside it until you reach the old port road near the Es Monument roundabout. The sculpture commemorates the events of 1561.

After passing the Es Jaiot stream, follow the port road for a short stretch. Near a tram stop, cross to the other side of the road and look for the bridge over the stream. Cross it to rejoin the footpath. At the junction with Camí de Binidorm, bear right onto Camí Reial de Muleta.

Further along, take the right-hand turn towards Port de Sóller to leave the Muleta path. You’ll come out on the road to Repic Beach. Watch for traffic on this stretch. Once you reach the beach, you can stop for a meal or take a break before following the pedestrian promenade back to Carrer d’Antoni Montis.
