A Paddy Dillon guide to trekking the GR221, Drystone Route, or Ruta de Pedra en Sec which traverses the Serra de Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca, in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain. First English-language guide to this brand new 140km trail following old paths and mule tracks through mountain villages, rugged mountainsides and forests.

Seasons

Possible nearly all year round, but it can be very hot in summer, while rare winter snowfall can cover the paths on the higher parts.

Centres

Port d’Andratx, Sant Elm, Estellencs, Banyalbufar, Esporles, Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, Tossals Verds, Lluc, Pollença, Peguera, Calvià, Puigpunyent, Alaró, Caimari

Difficulty

Mostly on clear paths and tracks, but some of these can be rough and stony underfoot, and occasionally steep. Some parts require careful route-finding, though many stretches have been signposted and waymarked. The whole route can be completed by anyone with a little previous long-distance walking experience.
