The alluring views over country and wind-whipped coast make the pilgrimage to this hermitage worthwhile. The 19th-century Ermita de Betlem is still home to hermits who live a life of seclusion and self-sufficiency. There is a small church with irregular opening hours – its lovely stone-built exterior stands in contrast to the modern whitewashed interior and cave nativity scene, complete with stalactites and stalagmites. Strolling up the neighbouring hilltops brings some fine vistas into play.
To reach the hermitage, take the narrow paved road (the Ma3333) beginning in Artà, which meanders for around 5km through pine woodland and fields before climbing steeply to reach the top of the ridge at around 7km.
