The Serra de Tramuntana (Balearic Catalan: [ˈsɛrə ðə tɾəmunˈtanə]; Spanish: Sierra de Tramontana [ˈsjera ðe tɾamonˈtana]) is a mountain range running southwest–northeast which forms the northern backbone of the Spanish island of Mallorca. It is also the name given to the comarca of the same area. On 27 June 2011, the Tramuntana Range was awarded World Heritage Status by UNESCO as an area of great physical and cultural significance.
