The GR221 is one of Europe’s most beautiful and aspirational treks in Europe. It travels the length of Mallorca’s rugged mountain range, the Serra de Tramuntana. Along the way, you find a textbook Mediterranean landscape of azure waters, sandy beaches, rocky coves, all overlooked by rugged limestone peaks. As you pass the numerous drystone structures on the trail, you will learn plenty of the island’s fascinating history and you will spend the night in some of its finest villages. This is Spain at its best and it will be an adventure that you will never forget.
