Reviews Summary

"This review is not so much about Na Burguesa, but about what it provides access to... from there, you can walk on into the Tramuntana!!! Until you get there... there is quite some trash. But once you get in... it's just amazing. To get there, try to reach Cami 736. Don't be scared away by signs that say it s a private road. It's open to the public."
Erik Pruyt
"Beautiful viewpoint on the city of Palma and surroundings including a good view on the mountains. Very doable to walk up from Génova if you don't have a car, its about 30 minutes to walk up, some parts are quite steep to walk but definitely worth it"
