Description

This trail starts on the Camí de Cavalls where, after a few kilometres, we will ascend to “Sa Bassa Verde”, a hidden oasis in the middle of the forest. In spring, autumn and winter we can see water in Sa Bassa Verde which makes this powerful place even more beautiful. After the descent, we head towards Algaiarens Bay where we will spot the European terrapin and the Greek land tortoise (no guarantee but highly possible). We will pass an extremely beautiful hidden beach which is not very frequented and if you wish we can spend some time there swimming or relaxing. This tour can be walked at any time of the year. Basically easy terrain, but including a slight ascent/descent with rocky stretches going up/down Sa Bassa Verde. Very recommended for nature loving hikers.
