The seascape along this route is one of the best features as the path is mainly along the top of the cliffs with only twodescents to sea level at Macar de Binillauti and Caleta de Binillauti.
A couple of miles further along the coast the ground rises as you approachPunta de sa Galera. From this vantage point you can see Illots de sa Cudia and Illa de Colon. These islands guard the entrance to Es Grau cove.
You can continue along the coastal path to Es Grau but if you prefer you can take a short cut through the unfinishedhousing development into the town.
In the town you can find bars and restaurants or take in the beach.
Close by is the natural park of S'Albufera which is worth a visit if time permits.
In summer both ends of your walk are well serviced by buses to Mao but at other times you will need to consider making your own transport arrangements.
