This was one of the two summits we’d earmarked as potential drive-and-go activations while out and about, but with our days on the island dwindling away we decided to grab Puig des Recó before breakfast today. Still, a good hour from the hotel and half an hour’s climb made it a bit of a mission this morning.

Didn’t really intend to do an activation this morning. Last night’s “Mallorcan suckling pig” dinner (i.e. roast pork) came with some lovely wine and, well, we had a bit of a lie-in this morning. No other plans though, so MA-040 was duly selected for a morning spot of hangover SOTA.

First time on Mallorca and it’s a tad scorchio, so we’re going to kick off with an easy 2 point summit near our hotel in Port de Pollença. There’s easy parking for EA6/MA-048 just behind the little tunnel on the Formentor road but you need to bear in mind that non-authorised motor traffic is prohibited up here between the hours of 10:00 and 22:00.
