This is the most orthodox definition offered by the Alcover-Moll Dictionary (DCVB), which allows us to understand some of the toponymy of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. The route we propose is a hike through the Comuna de Bunyola (Buniola Commune), beginning at the emblematic Cocons estate and venturing into the heart of this immense communal space—the most important in the Balearic Islands—through the Comellar de la Cocina (Kitchen Basin). This toponym also refers to a large cave, which we will visit during the hike, and which in the past served as a refuge and meeting point for those who worked in the Commune. This natural area represents one of the largest forests in Mallorca, covering 716 hectares, which is 8.5% of the total area of ​​the municipality of Bunyola.</p>]]></description>

Aware of this fact, as simple as it is profoundly complex, Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria designed paths around the great and immense Miramar, which he built from 1872 until his death in 1915, simultaneously establishing viewpoints. For the instructive and beautifully rendered landscape of the Tramuntana mountain range required spaces for its contemplation. These were the same land, sea, and sky that had captivated Ramon Llull six centuries before the arrival of the prince, scientist, and traveler, during his stay in 1276 while establishing the school for missionaries and Oriental languages in that very Miramar. We propose a walk "among the vineyards and the fennel," along the viewpoints below the Archduke's estate, at the foot of the Old Watchtower. A view projected around the Foradada.</p>]]></description>

According to the description of<em>Encyclopedia of Ibiza and Formentera</em> (<em>eeif.es</em>Cala Saona is the westernmost point of the depression located between La Mirada and Monte de Guillem, the main elevations of the parish of San Francisco Javier. The cove itself is bordered by Punta del Caracol to the west and the area known as La Guaita Vella to the south. By extension, the toponym also refers to a vast inland and coastal area stretching from Punta Rasa (west) to Caló den Trull (north). The origin of the name Saona is rather unclear, and several theories have been proposed, based either on its connection to the verb 'to season' or on the name's similarity to other Mediterranean places. An anthroponymic origin should not be ruled out, given that the surname Saona is documented in Mallorca in 1233. </p>]]></description>

The man was on a trail when, for reasons that have not been disclosed, he became unwell and was unable to continue on his own. According to the Mallorca Fire Department, upon receiving the emergency call, the Milana rescue helicopter, the specialized aerial unit for intervention in difficult-to-access locations, was immediately activated. The aircraft flew to the indicated location, and once there, the firefighters located the hiker, who was in an area particularly challenging to reach. The firefighters stabilized him and ensured his evacuation, a maneuver that in this rugged terrain requires precise coordination between ground personnel and the air team. Once he was rescued, the man was taken to Son Espases University Hospital for treatment. No further details about his condition have been released at this time. </p>]]></description>

But, above all, a town equidistant from the two natural exits to the sea: the Puerto Mayor (Pollença). Precisely the latter was the one used by Charles V when he visited the town on June 4, 1535, to thank it for its support during the Germania revolt (1521-1523). Probably at the Tamarells port, at the end of the port, because it offered better shelter and draught. Since Roman times, we know that there was a port in the part of the bay of Alcudia. <em>Mimi P.</em> in the Bay of Alcudia on November 19, 1883, marked a milestone in the history of the port and tested the courage and character of Alcudia's sailors. </p>]]></description>
