Torrent de Mortitx
It starts up at the foot of majestic Tomir but only in the last part of the course is where Mortitx descends. In the same way as in "na Mora", we will end up by being impressed by the cliffs of the Majorcan Brave Coast, giving a marine air of which we will not find any precedents in the peninsular canyons. Torrent Fondo is said to be funny due to the many jumps along its course. However it is a false appearance due to the many accidents occurred at Mortitx.
Remarks: Essential not to have vertigo as when returning there will be a "grimpada" from sea level until we reach quite a high level or else we will have to remount the canyon.
