This itinerary explores a number of relevant geological aspects of the coast of the central Tramuntana range. We will see the mouth of the largest karstic canyon in the Balearic Islands, the Torrent de Pareis. Then we will visit the outcrops of volcanic rocks at Cala Tuent, formed more than 200 Ma ago when the present-day continents began to separate from the supercontinent Pangaea. We will observe the instability processes of the typical slopes of this part of the coast, and finally we will reach one of the most important natural water sources of the Balearics: Sa Font des Verger.
