Day 6 - Mallorca

Today we walked the Puig D’Aguila and Siller Valley. (12 km - 350m ascent) 31*C predicted today but it’s generally cooler by the coast and there was a breeze. The pharmacy is closed on Sunday and their sign was out so we couldn’t check the actual temperature!
Bus to Cala de San Vicenc. A dirt track to a headland to ascend the Puig d’Aguila for views. Then a different track back to to Cala de San Vicenc then over the Siller Pass and back to the hotel.


Cala de San Vicenc is the brilliant aqua blue cove you can see in the middle of the picture.  We walked through the Siller Pass which is the lowest dip to the right of the picture. 
The group climbing up. 
Us about half way up. The Siller pass is to the far right. 
Dramatic sea cliffs all the way around. 
A remote cove you can only get to by boat or on foot. 
Clouds floated in while we were at the top and brought a 
bit of shade and a cool breeze. 
There were some brown and white goats up there 
but you can barely see them in the photos. 
Some welcome shade on the way back. Actual - 16.4km. 

Dinner at the hotel - salmon salad, grilled bream and cheesecake and sorbet for me. Roast aubergine, roast lamb and Spanish chocolate cake with ice cream for Ron.
