ITINERARY: Sóller - Binibassi - Fornalutx – trail of es Creuer- Biniaraix - Binibassi - Sóller

It is a very pleasant tour without significant differences in height that connects Sóller with Fornalutx through the hamlet of Binibassí. You can visit Biniaraix along the trails of es Creuer and Monnaber. You will then return to Binibassi through the orange tree orchards of Biniaraix . The route finishes at Sóller.

The walk starts at the Sóller football pitch. The pitch is located next to plaça de la Constitució. Follow carrer de la Lluna, carrer de l'Onze de Maig and avinguda d'Astúries to reach the square. Once there follow the stream to the right until you reach a wash place near the bridge of Can Rave.

At the crossing, turn left. Shortly after the crossing, ignore the trail of ses Marjades and later the trail of sa Capelleta, which are part of another itinerary.

A few metres further on, ignore a track rising to the left, the trail of Balitx. Next to the stream and in a very sharp bend, a sign indicates that you must leave the track and follow a stone path rising gradually through orange tree orchards and olive groves. The fields are mentioned in documents dating from 1242. The path leads to the hamlet of Binibassí, which is situated on the border between Sóller and Fornalutx.

Skirt the hamlet on the left and walk up next to the water mill. Cross a small barrier and walk up along a stone path surrounded by pine trees, holm oaks and a few olive trees. Turn right, cross a barrier and walk down for a short while. From here on, the path becomes more spectacular and crosses a small valley. In the distance, the outline of the penyal des Migdia defines the horizon. Nearby, you can see the cemetery of Fornalutx. The path turns into a road that passes by the cemetery and through the olive trees. It leads to the first houses of Fornalutx. Follow carrer de la Plaça to reach plaça d'Espanya and the parish church.

You have now been walking for 30 minutes and it is the perfect time to take a break.
From the square, follow carrer Major and carrer de sa Font. Leave behind the tower of Can Arbona (Town Hall), Can Xoroi and several buildings with painted tiles and cross the stream or torrent Major using the bridge. The cement road rises rapidly along several bends. After the first bend you will see a barrier. Just before the barrier, on the right, the stone trail of es Creuer rises rapidly. Take the path and admire the best views of Fornalutx.

The path leads to the Monnaber road. Follow the road down to the village of Biniaraix, which you will enter by the 18th-19th century wash place.

Cross the village along carrer Sant Josep. Pass plaça de la Concepció and go down carrer de Sant Guillem. Turn right along carrer de Santa Catalina. At the end of the street turn right and follow the signs leading to the orchard of Biniaraix. Follow a cement road leading to the Sóller-Fornalutx road. You can now see the hamlet of Binibassí, our next stop. Follow the road towards Sóller for a hundred metres and turn right onto the road that will take you to the city. Once in the hamlet, return to Sóller along the route on which the walk began.
