Today it is very cloudy, but still warm. We decide to walk along a path above the cliffs from Port d'Antratx to Sant Elm. In the beginning we walk along a paved road which has been built not long ago, because according to our guide book it is only a path leading up to Mon Port. After about 30 minutes we pass the last houses and then a really nice way continues up to a point where you can look at Sa Dragonera - the Dragon Island in front of Sant Elm. This is a good picnic sport and we stay there for a long time. On the other side of the cliffs it goes down to Sant Elm. Down there many goats are walking along. We spend a long time watching them before we return the same way back to Port d'Andratx.

We drove to Sant Elm because we wanted to take the ship to Sa Dragonera. The so called Dragon Island lies directly in front of Sant Elm and our guide book says that it is nice to go hiking on this island. But unfortunately because if was off season no ship was going to Sa Dragonera. Therefore we took a look at our map and decided to hike to the Torre den Basses instead. There are about 80 of these towers on Mallorca and they were used to watch pirates in previous times! From the tower you have great view to the Dragon Island and down into a very nice bay with turquoise water.

End of November we wanted to escape rainy cold Germany and therefore we booked a last minute trip to Mallorca!

The offer included a stay at La Pergola Apartments in Port d'Andratx. Port d'Andratx is nicely situated at the Southern end of the Tramuntana mountain range. In the marina you can see lots of expensive yachts. Port d'Andratx has many nice restaurants directly at the sea side.

The Schesaplana is a quite famous mountain. Actually I am not sure why that is... maybe just because it is the highest mountain in the Raetikon area..Some people told us that it is very nice up there. So we decided to give it a try. The Totalphut was already closed. Still the weather was perfect and so we decided to take our tent with us. To be continued....

A big storm was announced by the weather forecast for the evening. Tonight we tested our new Fujifilm XT-1 camera and recorded some lightning in the sky from our home terrace. So far we think the results are looking quite the promising 🙂

In addition we tried to capture the arriving storm with a few time-lapse recordings.
