Marco Perez-Page, Spain
Last Spring (2017) AE Ambassador Marco Perez-Page traveled with a friend to the Balearic Islands of Spain to paddle it’s rugged coastline in two AdvancedFrame kayaks…a trip he hopes to repeat this Spring.
The following is his story:
The Balearic Islands of Spain are one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Mediterranean and last year received 14 million foreign tourists, but in its 1200 kilometers of coastline there are still wild places of great beauty.
In the Spring of last year I went for a week with a friend to the Northwest area of Mallorca. There, the whole coast is very steep. The mountains drop 800m to the sea creating some of the highest cliffs of the Mediterranean Sea.
The stone is limestone and there are numerous caves and canyons that reach the sea.
During our kayak trip there was a lot of wind and waves so we decided to finish the tour halfway at the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis (Pareis Canyon)
We paddled towards the interior of the canyon through some lagoons that form the river at its lowest part, we dismounted the kayaks and hid them in a cave to walk the canyon on foot.
The canyon is one of the most beautiful in Spain and its 9km long walk is the best trekking that can be done on the island (Outside the rainy season)
I hope to return to Mallorca with the kayaks this Spring.
Best regards
Marco
