Hiking 9 Miles on the ARCHDUKE'S TRAIL | A 300 Year Old Trail | Mallorca Island, Spain

Join me on a stunning circular walk along the Archduke’s Trail (Camí de s’Arxiduc) from Valldemossa that I completed back in May this year!
The Archduke's Trail is a high-mountain trail in the Tramuntana mountains between Valldemossa and Deià. I reached the trail via the Muntanya del Voltor ascent route, starting in Valldemossa (free permit needed) & the 700m of ascent were worth it for the stunning views of the mountainous coastline from the ridge!
As always, thank you for joining me on my adventures, I hope you enjoyed this video :) Please give it a like & subscribe if you did enjoy it and leave a comment down below as I really enjoy reading them, much love Christine x 🌞🌻

Amazing !!!

[@tonypilki3]

Wow! Lovely blue seas, blue skies, mountains and it looks a fabulous trail! Just stunning Christine 🙂 Even with the bad weather at home its always a pleasure to watch your wonderful journey. It actually encourages me to get out more even if its just a local river walk. Many thanks 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

It was a really enjoyable trail - hoping to get back and do the entire GR221 in the future! Aw thanks Tony, so lovely to hear that 💛 Hope you have a lovely weekend and can get outdoors even with the continued poor weather we’re having! Thanks so much for tagging along on this one too 🫶🏻😊

[@tommotomlinson3370]

Well that brightened up a windy, rainy "summer" Saturday morning !!...looked like a lovely quiet route away from everyone 👌

[@shefreelyroams]

Cheers Andrew - nice to hear that the video brought some sunshine to an otherwise miserable summer that we’re having! Yeah it was pretty quiet off the main summit - hope you have a lovely weekend 😊💛

Dear Christine, thanks for the video!It is very nice to hike so close to the sea in the mountains.I looked at our pictures from 2018, we were more inland. We had rented a Finka 🇪🇸 and from there we cycled 🚴🏻‍♀🚴🏻 and went on a hike. We absolutely have to go to Mallorca again, but next year we want to go first to 🇬🇧😊 Kind wishes, Gerold 🤗

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Gerold for tagging along & you’re right, really a unique experience hiking in the mountains with sea views ⛰️👍🏻 that sounds lovely too & probably worth going back to hike around the island, it’ll be a different experience I’m sure 😊

[@ervinslens]

Simply breathtaking scenery my friend!

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ervin - it’s beautiful island to hike! 🫶🏻

[@niclrig]

Thank you for sharing. Not somewhere I have visited but should I ever I will certainly do this walk. Love your videos so much, look forward to the next one 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks for continuing to tag along on my adventures Nicola 🫶🏻 I’d never been to Mallorca for hiking before and can’t recommend it enough as a good option outside of the summer months - the GR221 is a great way marked trail that crosses the entire island 👍🏻⛰️

[@Andrew.........]

Hi Christine ?? Nice video and music to suit the occasion. You got a good day for your excursion. I had the pleasure of being on part of your route in September. It truly is a beautiful route and a fantastic Island to hike around. I watched your circular hike also 👍. Chaotic hair 🤣. nice one. looking forward to more videos. Take care 👍

[@shefreelyroams]

Hi Andrew 👋🏻 thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed the video & amazing that you’ve also been able to enjoy this route 😊 definitely a brilliant island for hiking & cycling! Ahah can’t control the wind & my hair sometimes 🤦🏼‍♀️ hope you enjoy other videos too 🫶🏻

[@ethicalbunny]

This looks like such an epic adventure 🎉🎉🎉

[@shefreelyroams]

It was beautifully epic - great island to explore! 🙌🏻❤️

[@mariloh683]

Hello, I have never been on the isle of Mallorca, but on Eivissa, one of the other popular smaller islands. However, I 'd like to visit during springtime when all the flowers are in bloom.

[@shefreelyroams]

Hello 👋🏻 that would be a lovely time to visit I imagine - I did this hike back in May and there were a few flowers out! I’ve never been to Eivissa but I’d love to soon too! Thank for tagging along on this video 🫶🏻

[@thebaldscrambler]

Lovely view down onto the coast (looks out of the window at yet more August rain clouds).

[@shefreelyroams]

Haha yes this summer is absolutely horrible isn’t it! But this was a lovely hike back in May - probably the last time I saw some sunshine 🌞

[@thebaldscrambler]

@@shefreelyroams Yup! I'm off to Snowdonia tomorrow for some wild camping and scrambling for my YT channel and I thought my bag was heavier than usual - it's all the extra waterproofs and layers in there ;-). Fingers crossed for a weather window!

[@shefreelyroams]

@@thebaldscrambler ah yeah I can imagine - fingers crossed you can enjoy some breaks of sunshine 🌞 enjoy, very jealous - love Snowdonia ⛰️❤️

[@BeanCruisers]

Great hike 🙂

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you 🫶🏻
