Excursion to the snowed Teix - senderomallorca.es

The Puig del Teix (1062 m) is one of the most emblematic mountains of Mallorca and with the great snowfall that made it more precious still. The summit belongs to the municipality of Deià, although the massif is divided between the municipalities of Deià, Valldemossa, Soller and Bunyola. The name of the mountain comes from the european yew conifer (Taxus baccata), teix in Catalan, a species that was frequent in the place, of which there are still some specimens.
Like many other geographical features of the islands, the Teix is considered a magical place. If the Galatzó is the haunted and phantasmagorical mountain, the Teix is the enchanted mountain, with great power of attraction. His magnetism has been a source of inspiration for many artists and writers, such as Robert Graves, who lived in the foothills of the Teix, in ca n'Alluny, and had a predilection for the peak
