Consell de Mallorca<\/strong> has launched \u201cPetjades\u201d<\/strong>, a new hiking programme aimed at people over the age of 60 with the goal of promoting physical activity, wellbeing and social interaction through routes across different parts of Mallorca.<\/p>\n

The programme includes a total of 14 hiking excursions<\/strong> of between 10 and 12 kilometres, taking place between May and December, mainly on Fridays, with 54 places available for each outing.<\/p>\n

The routes will allow participants to discover some of the island\u2019s most representative natural and scenic areas, including itineraries through the Serra de Tramuntana<\/strong>, the Mondrag\u00f3 Natural Park<\/strong> and the east coast of Mallorca. Planned excursions include routes such as S\u00f3ller \u2013 Fornalutx \u2013 Biniaraix<\/strong>, Cala Figuera \u2013 Mondrag\u00f3 Natural Park<\/strong>, Betlem \u2013 Es Cal\u00f3<\/strong>, Son Sanutges \u2013 Plan\u00edcia<\/strong> and Valldemossa \u2013 Pastoritx \u2013 Raixeta \u2013 Raixa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Councillor for the Presidency, Toni Fuster<\/strong>, explained that \u201chiking is one of the activities that always receives the best response among older people, and we have seen that whenever we organise activities related to walking and discovering Mallorca, places fill up very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also highlighted that \u201cfor the first time we wanted to create a specific and permanent hiking programme to continue promoting active and healthy ageing, while also encouraging social interaction and community among participants.\u201d<\/p>\n
