Excursion Lluch monastery tour at Alcudia

Experience the beauty, history and serenity of the Lluch Monastery during this scenic, half-day outing to La Sierra de Tramuntana. The monastery complex includes Els Porxerets, the former pilgrims' quarters with stabling beneath the rooms, and the Way of the Rosary, with touches by Antoni Gaudi. A very charming botanical garden is featured on the grounds and from the hilltop cross you can look down over an unexpected farm and valley and up into the pine-covered mountains.

La Sierra de Tramuntana and Lluch Monastery

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive to La Sierra de Tramuntana via Inca, the third largest town after Palma and Manacor, and famous for its leather industry. Your first stop is at the Sanctuario de Nuestra Señora de Lluch, a large and beautiful monastery, situated in a delightful valley in the wildest part of the Majorcan Mountains. Upon arrival, proceed for a visit to the Lluch Museum. During your visit, view archaeological artefacts, religious icons, handcrafted textiles, pottery, and artwork from renowned artists like Joan Miró, Ricard Anckerman or Santiago Rusiñol.

Botanical Gardens and Interactive Displays

Next, visit the Botanical Garden for an opportunity to admire the native flora. From here, head to the 'Welcome to Lluch' room, where an interactive display helps to familiarise you with the shrine and its different areas. Afterward, continue on to the 'Heart of Mallorca' room, where you can follow the experiences of a pilgrim in the first room in Mallorca equipped with 3-D audio.

Basilica and Our Lady of Lluch

Your final stop is at the Basilica. Marvel at how Gaudí left his mark on Lluch Shrine and the site where Our Lady of Lluch, Mallorca's patron saint, can be found.

At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 60-minute drive back to the pier via Pollensa.
