Sant Lluís is an interesting large village, well worth exploring; its streets are laid out grid-fashion, reminding visitors that it was once a garrison town. Roads and tracks can be followed southwards to the coastal resort of Biniancolla, then northwards to return to Sant Lluís. Two old towers can be seen on the return journey: Torre de sa Vigia and a tower that gives its name to the little village of Torret.

Leave Sant Lluís by following the main road as if heading for the south coast. There are two ways to continue, which join up before long. Either walk to a roundabout and take the road left, signposted for Biniancolla, using the red cycleway and walkway alongside, or turn left before the roundabout and walk down the Camí de Consell; head gently uphill and turn left at es Consell. Continue gently downhill and turn right. The road is still named as the Camí des Consell; walk down it, then up to the main road at a crossroads. Cross over the main road, then turn left along the red cycleway and walkway, followed in the alternative route, near Torret.
