The GR221, also known as the “Ruta de Pedra en Sec” (Dry Stone Route), is a spectacular long-distance hiking trail that winds through the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, the trail stretches for approximately 140 kilometers from Port d’Andratx in the southwest to Pollença in the northwest of the island, passing steep cliffs, verdant valleys, fragrant pine forests, and ancient olive groves. The GR221 largely follows old, sometimes recently restored, dry stone walls and shepherds’ paths that have connected the region’s villages for centuries. Some sections lead along former charcoal burners’ trails and old mule tracks to remote farms or watchtowers. Mallorcans are particularly proud of the black vulture (Voltor Negre) and the midwife toad (Ferreret), which are among the native inhabitants of the Balearic Islands. When you hike in Mallorca, you’ll experience the traditional way of life of the islanders as it was hundreds of years ago. You’ll not only enjoy nature but also discover traces of Mallorcan history and culture. This unique combination of nature, culture, and history makes the hiking trail one of the most beautiful in Europe.

This 8-stage trekking tour from Andratx to Pollença is designed for active nature and hiking enthusiasts who want to experience Mallorca away from mass tourism. On days 2, 3, 6, and 7, you can choose between two route options – depending on your preferences, fitness level, and the weather. Whether you prefer comfortable hotels or authentic mountain huts (refugis) is entirely up to you. All the huts are very clean, and you’ll sleep in bunk beds.
