SA COMUNA DE BUÑOLA
Leave Son Palou in the direction of Bunyola. On the PM 210 continue for a further 4km until you reach the Coll d'Honor. The quiet country road in the lovely, fertile high valley proves itself to be a congenial hiking trail. After the 7km milestone, follow four more hairpin bends, after which there is a stretch of about 300m without curves. When this bends in a right curve, a pathway branches off gently to the left (A) where our mountain walk begins. It goes quite quickly into a stony cart track that is easy to find and rises up in one of the many hairpin bends to the pass between Es Picot and Baix des Peyal. The woods become lighter and once again there is a lovely view over the fertile apple-growing valley of Orient.
Behind the pass it falls away steeply down into a pine wood. The scrub is thick and rich in types of plant, especially rosemary, sought for its aromatic flavour. Stay on this cart track which after a descent of about 20 minutes brings you to a more comfortable track. This descends for about 100m and you will later have to go up, but this poses no real problem.
You come from the woods to Aleppokieren, to an abandoned house, underneath which a cave with bluish rock walls can be seen. Here we are now hiking in the ICONA Naturpark La Caseta, although this is not signposted. When the dirt road hardly ascends any more, another track (s) branches off to the left but ignore this one. Stay on the main path going in a westerly direction. Eventually you make a large "S" around the Puig Gros and then turn northwards. Below you to the left you can see a deeply-gorged valley. When the path has almost reached the bottom of this valley, on the left you can see a large car park with a disused well. Behind is the one time Casa Forestal that now serves as a primitive shelter for ICONA. A sign "Area Recreativa La caseta del Ayuntamiento de Buñola" informs you that you are in an ICONA recreational area.
You now have the choice either to go on a dirt track that later converts into an asphalted road (A) directly down to Bunyola or to leave the carpark towards the south through a narrow valley (B).
The second choice is prettier. The canyon-like valley continues very steeply downwards just widening out quickly before its end into a small island of olive trees. Then the torrent converts to a real ravine and the path goes along between two high walls of rock: on the
