Son San Marti

Puig de Sant Marti is the mountain south-west of the town. It has two peaks from which there are some wonderful views: one is a panorama of Alcudia district, the town, the port, the mountians, the two bays, the other is of (Alcudia and Pollenca) and a large part of the mountains of Majorca. On top of the southern peak there is an extensive view of the Majorcan plain and the Alfufera.
This excursion begins and ends in the square, Placa de la Porta de Mallorca. We leave the town from the front of the auditorium and we take the raod between the auditorium and supermarket. At the end of this road you will find Cami de l’Esgleassa. Keep straight on along this road until you reach the Palma – Alcudia road in front of the petrol station. Turn left and walk along the main road till you reach the big roundabout.
Cross the roundabout and carry on towards Palma and about 50m on your left you will find Cami del Poble Nou and the sign Puig de Sant Marti. This path is easy to recognise because it has a large pine wood to the left and cultivated land to the right. This path gently climbs for 20 minutes until it reaches the turn that climbs to the top of the mountain. The turning is on the leftand to the right is Poble Nou that gives its name to the path. This part of the excursion can only be done on foot. If you have not walked and have come by bike, there is a palce especially reserved for bicycles where you can leave them padlocked. The ascent is short, in 15 minutes you reach the hill between the two peaks and a further 10 minutes is long enough to arrive at either of the two peaks. The path continues until the peak of the aerials. If you want to go to the one, there is no path but access is not very difficult.

Returning down the same path you came up and in 20 minutes you are back at the crossroad. Follow the same path as before and after 30 minutes you will come to the Sant Marti cave, after crossing Murterar road, to return to Alcudia we shall continue descending until reaching a roundabout 300 meters below; immediately after the roundabout there is a narrow path which we take to the left arrive at Bellevue (20 minutes). We pass through and arrive at Pere Mas i Reus; turn to the left and at the end of the road we find Cami del Puig which we shall follow 20 minutes until we reach a turning to the right which 20 minutes takes us to the point of our departure.
