The highlight was also created as an orange valley. We didn't see a single orange, but the ascent to the "mountain ridge" is so wonderful that I would immediately take the hardship again. The ascent is steep in places, up to about 7-8%, but averages only 6%. The landscape and the narrow streets are incredibly beautiful. In addition, hardly any traffic. Be sure to plan!

The valley often referred to by racing cyclists as the Orange Valley is the valley of the Na Borges, the longest torrent on the island. It is more than 40 km long and has a catchment area of over 330 km². This watercourse is not permanent, but carries water for much of the year. It rises between the towns of Porreres and Felanitx, runs north and collects water from the Sierra de Levante. Its water has been used for irrigation since ancient times and flows into the Bay of Alcudia near Son Serra de Marina.
