💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~14.2 hours of daylight in May — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The Tramuntana hairpins belong to you rather than the tour buses, almond and orange blossom scent the valleys, and the sea stays swimmable into October.
- Light day: day 2 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
