Description
This tour will guide
you to the highest point of the peninsula La Victoria - the
Atalaya de Alcudia. Here you are having maybe the best view to
the bay
of
Alcudia
and Pollensa. And if you are in luck, you will
see and hear some cabras (Spanish
word for goats).

finding the parking place
:
At waypoint VIA1 in
Alcudia follow the sign to Es Mal Pas.
VIA2 and VIA3 is your next target. Don’t be afraid (danger photo).
You are still on public ground.
Now the road is getting a little bit rough, but it is good
accessible. Another photo shows you the START waypoint and a place,
where you can leave your car.
Advise : don’t trust your
Metroguide/Cityselect Map
anytime. Of course there are other roads, but not everyone is
public.
the
cache tasks
:
If you are prepared,
follow the path to Platja des
Coll Baix
to waypoint STAGE1.
A=number of tables AND bench outside of the hut
B=how many big stone are hidden behind the red box (see picture
!!!)
Now continue the hike
and start your ascent to the summit and STAGE2. The trail is good
visible. Reaching the summit take a break, relax and make some nice
pictures. Than solve task 2 :
C=number of windows of the house without roof
What´s the colour of the windows of the
other house ?
yellow - D=9
red – D=4
green – D=8
blue – D=6
brown – D=7
black – D=5
Now you have everything you need to find the cache. Go a few metres back to waypoint DOWN. This small trail is your way downwards to the cache and of course back to the car.
cache coordinates : N39° 51.DC0 E003° 10.BAB
Now go downhill to waypoint PASS. Turn left and after a small dip go uphill again, to find the best way back to your car.
Enjoy it and have a nice time on Mallorca !

Unser zweiter Tag auf Mallorca bei strahlendem Sonnenschein, also Lichtschutzfaktor 50 aufgetragen ;), Wanderschuhe an, Rucksack aufgeschnallt, und dann auf zu diesem großartigen Wandercache. Wegen der starken Sonne ging der Aufstieg schon an unsere Kondition, aber wir wurden durch schöne Ausblicke und Panoramas entschädigt. Die Aufgaben waren gut zu lösen, außerdem waren die Stationen perfekt für kurze Pausen geeignet ;). Auf dem Weg konnten wir eine Ziege erblicken, die gerade ihr Junges säugte. Nach dem Cache machten wir uns dann über Station 1 zum nahe gelegenen Strand auf, um uns im Meer eine kleine Abkühlung zu gönnen. (Der Weg zum Strand ist zwar noch eine kleine Wanderung, aber es lohnt sich!) IN: TB Klein Schwein Vielen Dank für den Cache und viele Grüße, Colin & Carina

Tried to escape from rain as well as thunder & lightening in Peguera, so we went to this place. TNLN Kerstin & Marco
At
stage 1 there´s still contruction work going on but no problem for
solving the tasks. Entered the small path upwards, enjoyed lots of
views and reached the shelter on top almost (just 170m left but 50m in
height difference) when it began to rain heavily 
. Finally we arrived there and spent abt. 1 hour waiting for better weather, luckily one of the huts was equipped with a roof 
.
When
it became clearer outside we left for the final which was found easily
and in good condition. Then we followed the other path down the hill
where nature was quite different with green grass and lots of plants -
like a small jungle 
.
Thanks
for this roundtrip thru a varying landscape which we liked very much
and a special thanks for giving detailled information how to access the
parking location 
.
Just
arrived at the car when it started raining cats & dogs, later in
Alcudia we used a road which was more a wild water river than a road.

Unglaublich, wir waren die ersten!
Was fuer eine toller Cache! Perfekt ausgearbeitete Runde mit den Waypoints, die ganze Wanderung ist ohne Karte moeglich. Einfach erste Klasse! Cabras haben wir viele gesehen, eine ganze Herde mit Jungtieren stand mitten auf dem Weg...
Hier lassen wir gerne den TB Jerry the Mouse zurueck, mitgenommen haben wir die CD von Seal.
