Outing Highlights
Calm, well‑trained mounts for every level

Foothills and wooded trails of Puig de Sant Martí
The hour follows trails along the mountain’s lower slopes and through the pine woodlands of Puig de Sant Martí in the Alcudia area, offering a short, nature‑focused ride rather than a long trek.
A Mallorcan tasting back at the ranch
