Pass between the end of a wall and a cliff edge, where the path squeezes between bushes, and walk uphill to go through a gateway gap in a wall. There is a slight dip along the cliff edge at Penyal Alt des Sòtil, with lots of euphorbia bushes dotted around. Limestone pavement reaches the cliff edge; then there is a stone stile over a wall. Pass through a cleared, grassy, stony space surrounded by bushy scrub. A trodden path squeezes into the bushes and runs downhill, rocky underfoot. Do not go down the cliffs using a trodden path, but head inland a bit to pick up a wide, trodden earth path instead. Follow this carefully downhill, crossing steep rock, continuing down to a tiny sandy beach hemmed in by wonderfully attractive cliffs at Caló de Rafalet.

The narrow, rocky inlet of Caló de Rafalet is reached before s’Algar.

There are two ways to leave this inlet. One is to walk directly inland, up a well-wooded valley, linking with the GR223, then turn left for Alcalfar, or right to return to Cala de Sant Esteve. The other way is to climb back from the sand, over rocks, and as soon as the path levels out, turn left and climb up the steep, rocky wooded slope. A winding path leaves the woods and rises on a more open slope of scrub and bushes. A stone step-stile crosses a wall close to some houses.
