Monument · Serra de Tramuntana (Escorca)
Lluc Sanctuary
Mallorca's spiritual heart, in a high valley ringed by holm oaks, half an hour from everything and right in the middle of the Serra. Visit it slowly: the monastic complex, the botanical garden and the paths that set off from it. It is the island's best place to start a day in silence.
Practical information
- Access
- In the municipality of Escorca, off the Serra road. It is the starting point for several walking routes.
- Parking
- The sanctuary has its own car park.
- Services
- The Serra's interpretation centre, Ca s'Amitger, sits just before the car park entrance, on the left, and opens daily from 9 to 16, except Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Epiphany.
- Best time
- All year. In winter the valley wakes cold and clear; in summer it is one of the few places on the island that stays cool.
