    This stage leads away from the sea into the hinterland to Esporles. For the first time, you walk on the dry stone wall path and now also have the official signage with time indications and direction arrows. The entire stage takes about 3 hours of walking time and still leaves enough room for a leisurely afternoon.

    Author’s recommendation

    Maybe a quick look inside the church. To the right, up the avenue of plane trees, you reach the village with restaurants and accommodations.

    The first backpacker hostel is on the left side, about 300m further and is called 'Sa Fita', but there are others as well. 'Sa Fita' has a cozy garden, some clever details, e.g., well-designed showers, luggage boxes under the beds, literature, etc. The staff speaks English, is extremely friendly and helpful.

    A special feature at 'Sa Fita' is the 'pool', about 1m x 3m, with a sign saying 'Jumping is perhaps not such a good idea'. The garden is shady and cozy.

    Costs about 50 € (2 persons/night) without breakfast

    Roadbook

    At the Rathausplatz, you walk uphill along the paved road at the edge of the town of Banyalbufar. This path steadily ascends quite steeply into the forest. From there, the path winds pleasantly shaded through the Holm oak forest with moderate inclines. There are frequent views down to the Ma10.

    After about 2 hours, you reach 'La Granja', an old manor estate that has been converted into a museum and tourist attraction. Unfortunately, the entrance fee is 18 € and the possibly short time available to see everything is a hindrance. It can also be packed with tourists brought here by bus. But you can enjoy a good 'Con leche' outside on the terrace, naturally priced according to the ambience.

    Now it is not far to the village of Esporles, where you arrive directly at the church and the main street. By the way, the onward path continues straight ahead here the next day (signposted).
