Access: machine translated ➜

How to get to Torrent de Valldemossa: Leave the Palma ring road at exit 58 onto the Ma1110 and head north. After 6.8 km, at the traffic circle by the scattered houses of S'Esgleieta (a restaurant on the righthand side), continue north on the Ma 1110. After another 7.9 km we reach the center of Valldemossa. We continue - now on the Ma1130 - in the direction of Andratx. After about 900m we leave the road junction to Soller on the right and about 400m further we come to the junction (right, NNW) in the direction of Port/Marina de Valldemossa. We turn here on the Ma1131 and go down towards Port de Valldemossa. 600m after the junction we come to the first houses of Son Mas. About 50m further would be the bridge and the entry to the "main canyon" Torrent de sa Marina/Torrent de Valldemossa. At these first houses of Son Mas we park our car in a suitable place.

Approach (10 min): machine translated ➜

From here, a path leads in a SW direction. We follow it for about 160m and pass the paths to the left. Then "our" path bends to the south and after another 150m we come to the streambed near the houses of the hamlet of Rafal.

Tour (1 h 20): machine translated ➜

After a few meters in the stream, we come to the first rappel (C3), which can also be downclimbed. This is followed by 8 more rappels - some of which are slideable or jumpable.\nThe descent becomes increasingly attractive and exits with a 20m rappel into the main Torrent de Valldemossa stream.

Return (): machine translated ➜

No way back, instead further down in the Torrent de Valldemossa - see description there!
