As the tour continues, a brief pause at Cala en Basset Beach gives you the opportunity to plunge into the crystalline Mediterranean. At midday, you will arrive at the tranquil retreat of La Trapa Monastery, a cornerstone of the island's cultural heritage nestled within the mountains.

Following the visit, the journey back to Sant Elm commences, concluding with a comfortable transfer back to the cruise terminal. The enchanting walk from Sant Elm to La Trapa Monastery is undeniably a highlight of any visit to Mallorca, blending natural grandeur, cultural intrigue, and engaging physical activity in one unforgettable excursion.
