Puigpunyent
Historic paths and dry stone landscapes at the foot of Galatzó
Rural village center, historic paths and Galatzó landscape
Puigpunyent is located in the southwestern part of the Tramuntana not far from Palma and has a rural, mountain-like character. The municipality also includes Galilea and Son Serralta. In the village, the eighteenth-century church of Assumpció de la Mare de Déu is an important architectural landmark. Wooded slopes and historic estates characterize the surrounding area.
A network of public paths used to connect settlements and estates; preserved paved sections and steps show this use. Dry stone terraces at Son Forteza, Son Net, and Sa Coma belong to the ethnological heritage. Puigpunyent is suitable for a short visit to the village and a carefully selected hike. Private estates and unclear paths should not be entered spontaneously.
