A guidebook to trekking the GR221 – also known as the Drystone Route – through the spectacular mountains of Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana. Best suited to those with some experience of long-distance walking, the route is mostly on clear paths and tracks, but some of these can be rough underfoot, and occasionally steep, and some sections require careful route-finding.
The main route extends 141km (88 miles) from Port d’Andratx to Pollença and is described in 10 detailed stages of between 9 and 20km (5–12 miles). Also included are alternative starts from s’Arracó, es Capdellà and Calvià, and alternative finishes to Cala Tuent, Alaró, Orient, Caimari and Port de Pollença.
- 1:25, 000 Alpina mapping for each stage
- Extensive information on public transport, accommodation and refreshments, including accommodation listings
- Optional detours to climb neighbouring peaks
- Advice on preparation and planning
- History, plants and wildlife and local points of interest
