3 CAMÍ DE LA FONT GARROVER
Distance: 2,4 km

This outing begins in the municipality of Mancor de la Vall, on the north-east side of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. We should warn you that the last part of the hike goes through a private estate and so you should arrange a visit in advance by telephoning the owner of Oli Sa Font Garrover (Tel. 687 474 187).

From Mancor, take the road that climbs up to Santa Llúcia Oratory. About four hundred metres after you have left Mancor, once you have passed the cemetery, take a tarmac road to the left which is signed «Camí de Sa Font Garrover». After you have climbed up a steep tarmac track for just under two kilometres, you will see some splendid examples of Mallorcan olive trees.


Keep to the main track and you will come to a little metal gate, which you should shut behind you after you go through it. Immediately afterwards, on the right, you can see a magnificent olive grove. Two hundred metres later, the track divides. Take the left-hand fork and, fifty metres later, a little gate leads through to a property called Sa Font Garrover. At this point the path descends for a few hundred metres, with successive gates, until you reach the houses at the bottom of the valley.


At Sa Font Garrover, the Campins family have a small olive press where, winter after winter, they make delicious Mallorcan olive oil from olives grown on the property.

Don't leave without asking the owner of the property to show you Tanca de s'Atzeroler olive grove. It is a grove with dozens of fantastically shaped ancient olive trees. Indeed numerous painters and photographers ask the owners for permission to reproduce these splendid trees in their work.
