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 ;-)

The Castell d'Alaró is one of the places of destiny in Mallorca. Its origins on the strategically important mountain Puig d'Alaró date back to the Bronze Age.

Arta is a great little town...

Very nice hike from the Hotel L'Hermitage near Orient, with a fantastic view of Alaro Castle. Surefootedness is required.

Very crowded in summer

Castell de sa Punta de n'Amer, the history During the 16th century, the need for guarded coasts arose when pirates from North Africa and the Ottoman Empire constantly attacked Mallorca. However, the final decision to build this fortress was not made until a violent attack took place in 1611, causing serious damage to the east coast.  Due to financial difficulties and economic decline in Manacor, the construction of the fortress began in 1693 and was completed in 1696. https://accesmallorca.com/attractions/castell-punta-amer/

One of the most beautiful hikes in Mallorca. The hike up to the Castell d'Alaró, including the break at the top, is one of the best hikers can do inland. At the top there is a chapel with a restaurant and a simple hostel. The view from the top is magnificent.
