The 2025 Güell to Lluc walk: route, departure time, and traffic closures
The event, which covers nearly 50 kilometers from Palma to the sanctuary of Lluc, reaches its 51st edition this year.
PalmThe Güell to Lluc walk reaches its 51st edition this Saturday. The iconic route, which begins in Plaça de Güell—at the intersection of Aragó and Torcuato Luca de Tena streets—will begin at 10 p.m. on Saturday and continue into the early hours of Sunday. This year, the organizers hope to reach 10,000 participants. The 48-kilometer route typically lasts between eight and 13 hours and passes through the following municipalities: Marratxí, Santa Maria, Consell, Binissalem, Lloseta, Biniamar, Selva, Caimari, and, finally, Lluc. The entire route is on a paved road. Coaches have also been arranged to travel from Pollença and Alcúdia to Inca for those who wish to depart from that point. The walk can also be started from any of the other municipalities along the route.
To commemorate the 51st anniversary of the event, the Consell de Mallorca distributed 5,000 backpacks and 5,000 T-shirts in early July, which will be distributed among participants. Furthermore, this year the march has been declared an Activity of Municipal Public Interest by the Palma City Council, at the request of the Citizen Protection Association Grup Güell. Those interested in participating can register through the Güell Group website. The registration fee is €10.
