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.
