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 presented in 10 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.
