From its lofty perch 485 meters above sea level, Puig Gros de Bendinat commands attention. This majestic peak reigns over the Calvià landscape. Puig Gros de Bendinat is also known as Puig Gros de Portals and el Capitá. It’s the third highest peak in the Serra de na Burguesa mountain range. The Puntals de Valldurgent reaches 511 meters and Puig d’en Bou stands at 503 meters. Puig Gros de Bendinat has often been mistakenly identified as the highest peak in Serra de na Burguesa. At least, it’s been considered the highest in the southern section up to Coll del Vent. This confusion arises because Puig d’en Bou is located further inland. It’s less visible from most vantage points. Puig Gros de Bendinat, however, dominates the coastline from Portals to Cala Major. Its prominent position makes it a landmark for all who visit this beautiful stretch of Mallorca’s coast.
