The "Poetry Walk", held within the framework of the Diada de Mallorca celebrations, was dedicated to Miquel Costa i Llobera for the 150 year-anniversary of the poem, “ El Pi de Formentor”
Those who joined the walk (spaces were reserved log in advance) were able to enjoy a tour of all the corners of Formentor linked to the life of the island’s most famous poet, Miquel Costa i Llobera.
Formentor hosted one of the most notable events on the cultural calendar of Mallorca Day 2025: the poetic route “Domina les muntanyes i aguaita l’infinit”, organized by the Consell de Mallorca and the Fundació Mallorca Literària, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the poem “El Pi de Formentor”, by Miquel Costa i Llobera.
The event began at 10:00 a.m. and was fully attended. Tickets sold out within days of going on sale at mallorcaliterari.cat, demonstrating the enormous public interest.
The Vice President and Regional Minister of Culture and Heritage, Antònia Roca, celebrated the success of the activity and highlighted “the symbolic power of this route, which unites culture, landscape, and words in a profound tribute to Costa i Llobera.”
The participants explored the most intimate corners of Formentor linked to the author. They visited the Casas Viejas de Formentor, where Costa i Llobera lived, and the Casas de Cala Murta, the home he designed himself. The tour was conducted on foot and was guided by the writer and philologist Tomàs Vibot, enriched by recitations by Pau Pascual.
The event had limited capacity in order to preserve the quality of the experience and respect the landscape. Just 50 spaces, the maximum number of available places, were sold out in the first few days after going on sale for €5 at mallorcaliteraria.cat.
Access to the route was by coach, with journeys between Palma, Puerto de Pollença, and Formentor.
The day culminated with a musical performance by Mar Grimalt and Carles Medina, followed by a wine tasting from Vins Mortitx. The event combined culture, landscape, and words in a profound tribute to the author on the 150th anniversary of his work “El pi de Formentor.”
