The hiking trail up to Alaró is very impressive! The different rock layers, the fauna and flora are very diverse. The chance of seeing a black vulture is very good!

The Torre d'Homenatge is the most striking surviving tower of the Castell d'Alaró on Mallorca. Dating from the early 14th century, it was completed between 1319 and 1320 and served as the main entrance to the castle. It was also the residence of the Castellan, the commander of the fortress.

The tower is particularly windy and exposed on the ridge of the castle complex.
Hikers who spend a long time there, especially during cool winds from the north or west, are prone to chills.
This gave rise to the local joke that one "catches a cold" there, which is why the tower is popularly known as "es Constipador."

Also called "the cold gate" because many sweaty people cool off in the wind under the tower ;-)
