Orient

Historic stone houses and silent mountain landscape far from the coastal resorts

Protected village ensemble and hiking landscape in a mountain valley

Orient belongs to the municipality of Bunyola and is located in a mountain valley between the Serra d’Alfàbia and the Puig d’Alaró. The small village impresses with its protected historic settlement image and the surrounding Tramuntana. The church of Sant Jordi stands at the highest point; the old school and public washing areas are also part of a short tour through the village.

Hikes lead into the forests and mountain slopes outside the settlement. The Salt des Freu is well known, though its waterfall depends on rainfall. A more demanding tour leads towards Castell d’Alaró. Orient is suitable as a quiet landscape stop or as a starting point for a prepared hike; you should plan for curvy access roads and limited parking options.
