A ‘stroll’ up the Barranc to the Col de L’Ofre from where we bagged some peaks we have previously walked passed before descending through the Portell de sa Costa. The Portell provides a sudden and dramatic view of Port de Soller as well as a quiet and interesting alternative to the Barranc. The Barranc is not to be missed but because everyone knows that it is never quiet and now attracts mountain bikers, at least for the descent.
