Covering a distance of 63 km, the route begins at the Lluc sanctuary and passes through ten municipalities in the Raiguer region before ending at the church of San Jaime in Palma.

The Island Council has presented the project for this 67 km hiking route, which starts at the Lluc sanctuary and ends in Palma, at the church of San Jaime. This initiative has been promoted for years by the rector of the church of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat, Jaume Alemany, who has highlighted the spiritual importance of this route.

The itinerary runs along rural and alternative routes to the motorway and crosses ten municipalities in the Raiguer region: Escorca (Lluc sanctuary), Caimari, Selva, Inca, Lloseta, Binissalem, Alaró, Consejo, Santa Maria del Camí, Marratxí (Sano Cabaneta and Pòrtol) and Palma (with stops at the church of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat and the church of San Jaime). The route has been approved by the Chapter of Santiago Cathedral in 2021. Pilgrims will therefore be able to have their passports stamped with a credential that the FELIB will distribute in the town halls involved, explained Jaume Ferriol, president of the federation of municipalities.

The Vice-President of the Council of Mallorca, Pedro Bestard, explained that the route is designed to be completed in several stages, each covering around twenty kilometres, but he has not confirmed that any progress has been made in setting up any hostels. However, he hopes that the route project will be completed by early 2026.

The Lluc route is not the only pilgrimage route from Mallorca. Alemany explained that there is a second route, the 30-kilometre Lul·lià route, which would start at the sanctuary of Cura and end at the church of Sant Francesc in Palma.

Both routes will end in Amposta, Tarragona, where the Catalan route to Logroño begins and from there it could link up with the French route.
