Orient Mallorca

Nervous drivers should not even think about tackling the 10km hairpin road to Orient from Bunyola (there is a much easier approach from Alaro). But those who make it to this village are rewarded with a marvelous sight one of Mallorca's tiniest hamlets, with a population of less than 30, nestling among olive trees at the foot of Puig d'Alfcibia. Orient is popular with walkers numerous walks start from here, including an ascent to Castell d'Alaro and with weekend day trippers from Palma, who visit its three restaurants for Sunday lunch.
