Serra de Tramuntana Director Toni Solivellas noted that ‘these awards and the travelling exhibition are yet another way for the Consortium to showcase the cultural landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana from an artistic perspective,’ adding that ‘the photographs show us that the beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana is in every nook and cranny of the Serra de Tramuntana.

The Serra de Tramuntana World Heritage Photography Contest, organized by the Serra de Tramuntana Consortium, with technical support from the Balearic Islands Nature Photography Association (AFONIB), has awarded twelve photographs by seven photographers in four categories: Products and Producers, Serra de Tramuntana Villages, Heritage Elements and Experiences.
