Trail 6 Puigpunyent, Valldemossa, Escorca

Sa Casa des Gegant After leaving Puigpunyent on the Palma road, take the turning to the left towards the Son Puig estate. Going past the estate on the right, at the next crossroads take the track that leads off to the right, and you will see the talayot of sa Casa des Gegant among the orange trees. In its immediate vicinity, you can see the entrance to another ruined structure.

Santuario de Son Mas Take the road to the Port de Valldemossa and almost at once you will see the outbuildings of Son Mas, and up on a rise to the right, shortly before reaching the house, is the Santuario de Son Mas. This sanctuary was excavated by the archaeologist William Waldren. It is of interest because its ground plan brings the sanctuaries of the "taulas" in Minorca to mind. It is, moreover, the site of one of the most ancient sacred places in Majorca, where pre-talayotic remains have been found.

The Sanctuary of Son Mas bears an extraordinary resemblance to the "taulas" in Minorca. A slightly concave façade, with a central entrance and an apse-like shape.

Túmulo del Puig de sa Moneda If you have taken the road towards Banyalbufar, the viewing point that the Archduke Luis Salvador of Austria had built can be viewed in the George Sand housing development. The tumulus of the Puig de sa Moneda can be seen at the base of the viewing platform in a small avenue with benches. The tumulus has a rectangular structure at its apex.

Santuarios talayóticos de Almallutx At the side of the road next to the Gorg Blau reservoir (Escorca), there remains standing one of the columns that used to mark the site of the three talayotic sanctuaries of Almallutx. On the other side of the reservoir two of the sanctuaries that have not been submerged by the waters can still be seen with their corresponding columns. These sanctuaries still guard many secrets and a visit is recommended if only for the splendid countryside that surrounds them.
