Es Carritxó: Fields, Easy Routes and Sant Antoni
Accommodation in Es Carritxo
Es Carritxó is a rural village with extensive fields and peaceful landscapes. The church of Sant Antoni Abat, dedicated to Saint Anthony the Abbot, is a place of worship and a testament to the village’s history and culture. The Heritage Route passes through Es Carritxó, where you’ll find the church and rustic terraces. The surrounding area is also a good starting point for exploring the rural landscape on foot.
Easy routes starting at the church
Three easy routes start at the church. The R-16 circular route is 9.02 km long and connects Es Carritxó with Castell de Santueri. The easy R-15 route covers 6.67 km and connects Es Carritxó, Son Sureda and Puig de Sa Quarentera. At 6.69 km, the easy R-14 Volta a la Penya den Gerrer circular route is almost the same length as the R-15. This means that R-14 and R-15 are similar in distance, while R-16 goes farther.
