Le Puig del Calvari

Le Puig del Calvari, nestled in Pollença, is famed for its 365 steps, each lined with cypress trees, leading up to a quaint chapel at the summit. This ascent offers a dual experience of spiritual journey and photographic marvel, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light perfectly accentuates the town and landscape. The top provides panoramic views of Pollença's old town, Albufera reserve, and the Bay of Pollença, making it a magnet for photographers aiming to capture the intertwining of natural and urban beauty. Each step, signifying a day of the year, adds a narrative element to your photography. The Calvario chapel itself, a simple yet enchanting structure, is often open during Easter, presenting a unique cultural glimpse into local traditions. Nearby, the Oratorio del Calvari, a small oratory, further enriches the backdrop. Early morning or late afternoon shoots are recommended to avoid harsh lighting and to embrace the golden hour, enhancing the serene and timeless ambiance of this location.
