EasyDifficulty
The route sets off from Can Marroig, among trees, and soon reaches bare, almost lunar ground scattered with oddly shaped rocks: an old quarry for marés, the limestone the island built with. The path follows a steep stretch of the north-west coast, hard to reach from the sea, with views across to Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell and Ibiza. It ends at the watchtower at Punta de sa Gavina, built in 1762 and 1763, one of five on the island that warned of attacks from the sea with fire or smoke signals.
