Nighttime Wrong Turn at Puig Major: Why a Harmless Walk Can Quickly Turn Dangerous

Answer

Is Fornalutx a good base for walking in the Tramuntana?

Fornalutx is a practical starting point for walks in the Tramuntana because it sits close to mountain routes and has a strong hiking culture. That also means visitors should take trail safety seriously, especially if they are unfamiliar with the local paths. A proper route plan matters just as much there as on any other mountain starting point in Mallorca.
