Day 7 - Mallorca

Todays walk is from Lluc To Caimari Via Menut.  14½km ascent: 300m

Starting at the Lluc monastery we walk around the Moleta de Binifaldo along part of the GR 221 path seeing some dramatic mountain, karst and woodland scenery north of the area.  Visit "Camel Rock" and then to Caimari, a traditional village.

I’m finding it difficult to take a photo that shows the dramatic cliffs and 
jumble of rocks in the countryside here.

Perfect stone walls everywhere to assist terracing and for fencing. A natural spring harnessed here.

Beautiful stone house.

Lunch break. Note the safety fence. 
Lunchtime view with some great karst rock. 
Aquaduct. Instead of dams they have open rectangular stone tanks 2m high water to catch natural spring water and it is is pumped from these or it flows via aquaduct. 
Another lovely stone building. 
Have to be fit to farm here. The house is at the bottom of the hill which is terraced which are accessed via a staircase in the middle. 
Typical Hand made gates. 
Dinner at Hotel.
