The 13th century Bellver Castle sits on top of a hill of pine trees about 3 km west of Palma and 112m above sea level. It’s a fun and challenging run to make your way up to the castle along wooded roads and paths. We’ve mapped a 7 km route that does a larger circle loop, see the park map.
A good place to start is the Carrer de Bellver, near the Bosque Del Castillo De Bellver Park, accessible by bus from Palma. Take the Carrer de Bellver, and head up the hill toward the castle for ~1 km stairs here making for more direct access). Come back down the other side and connect to Carrer del Polvori, and then Carrer de Francesc Vidal I Sureda (or the path paralleling it), to do a larger loop on the back half of the hill, using the wooded paths instead of the road. Reconnect with the Carrer Castell de Bellver to complete the loop.

The signature run on Mallorca is the seaside promenade that runs for several km along the bay. The palm-lined path goes from Palma 3 km west to Portopí and 6km east to Portixol and Cala Gamba. Can continue another 8 km to S'Arenal.
Another section of the nearly 20 km of lovely waterside running along the Bay of Palma. This runs from Cala Gamba in Gentilicio for 8.5 km southeast to the boat club in S'Arenal. Wonderful water views and a dedicated path most of the way.
Our 6.5 km 'runseeing' tour of Palma. Enjoy seaside promenades and a tour of the city's key parks, monuments, scenic squares, and historical sights in the area known as ‘El Casco Antiguo’. Can add at Parc De les Estacions or seaside promenade.
This is a great 7 km loop incorporating several small but pretty parks, a section along a canal, the plaza around the Cathedral, and the seaside promenade. It skirts the outside of the Old City. Numerous add-on options.
