A beautiful hike starting from de view point Mirador de ses barques, going through the property named Balitx and Balitx d'Avall (where there is a small agroturisme tipe stay), up and over down to Sa Costera (one of the oldest power plants, no longer in use which made Soller the second town in Mallorca to have electricity after Alaro and now is used for clean water for Port de Soller). We had lunch there and went back up to Torre de na Seca, which was my favourite part. Very steep way up with no clear path to follow though. One option would be just to go there and back and avoid the extra way down and up to Sa Costera, or continue to Cala Tuent and take a bus or boat back to Soller during the summer. All in all we had about 1300m ascent and took us about 7.5hrs at a decent pace but probably taking over an hour on breaks for lunch etc.
