Itinerary description
Puigpunyent - Coll de Son Marill (284 meters) - Finca Son Quint - Cami de La Vileta - La Vileta (Palma) / Sa Vileta bus stop.
Along the GR 221 path in project (see red dotted line in the Government’s map/photo 4).
Cami Vell de Puigpunyent - Palma.
Not signposted.
The first 1.7 km through Puigpunyent and along the Ma-1041 road (until the sign Son Serralta) and the last 1.5 km is asphalt road.
By ignoring my 2 detours one saves almost 1 km.

Puigpunyent:
The name Puigpunyent, which means “pointed mountain” comes from the Puig del Galatzó peak. A village surrounded by valleys planted with orange and almond trees, with terraces where ancient olive trees grow. A town divided into two traditional quarters: the older Son Bru and the more modern La Vila, which sprang up around the church. Agriculture, livestock farming and forestry were the principal economic driving forces until the mid-20th century, traditionally associated with the activity of the large estates. As for the built heritage, look out for the Church of La Asunción de la Virgen María, constructed between the 17th and 19th centuries and home to a 14th century gothic image of Our Lady of Navigators, which came from the Cathedral, and the mannerist reredos of Our Lady of Loreta, which dates back to 1597.
