Els Cornadors

Els Cornadors is a mountain group within the Serra de Tramuntana range, featuring two main peaks called Cornador Gran and Cornador Petit that stand out for their sharp, pointed shape. The mountains rise above Sóller's valley and offer varying elevations with different landscape characteristics.

The mountain group shaped people's way of life for centuries, particularly through agricultural activities on its steep slopes. Residents built stone terraces across the terrain to make farming possible and to maximize their harvests in difficult conditions.

The name Els Cornadors means 'The Horned Ones', describing the distinctive peak shapes that are immediately recognizable to visitors and locals alike. This characteristic outline is a familiar part of the landscape for people living in the surrounding area.

The mountain group is best explored on foot, with several marked hiking trails that connect the peaks and valley areas. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable conditions for walking, with mild temperatures and clear views throughout the day.

The mountains are made of limestone, a rock type that creates specific conditions supporting plant species adapted to rocky slopes and high elevation. These special habitats develop distinct plant communities that are rarely seen elsewhere in the region.
