Location and surroundings

Southwest side of the mountain

The Puig de Ferrutx is located in the mountains of Artà ( Catalan Serra Artana or Massís d'Artà ), part of the Serres de Llevant and its northernmost foothills. The highest point of this mountain range, the Puig Morei , is not quite six kilometers northeast of the Puig de Ferrutx .

Due to its striking appearance, rising from the plain of the Plà de Mallorca and near the Bay of Alcúdia (Badia de Alcúdia) , the mountain can be recognized from afar from the west. Its western rock head is known as the Bec de Ferrutx (Bec = peak) and is the highest point of the Puig de Ferrutx with 523 meters . To the east of it there is a survey point , a geodetic column , on the long ridge about 300 meters away . This point, which is only a few meters deeper at 517 meters, is called Ferrutx , and according to other sources it is also called Ferruxet .

Is limited, the massif of the Puig de Ferrutx next level in the West, on which adjacent the estate sa Devesa is, by the 412 meter high mountain pass Coll d'en Pelat in the northeast.
