Walking the GR-221

The GR-221 – also known as the Ruta de la Pedra en Sec – is a long-distance trail that traverses the Serra de Tramuntana across Mallorca, running from Port d'Andratx in the south-west all the way to Cap Formentor in the north-east. The Coll de sa Basseta section connects Valldemossa with Esporles and takes in several viewpoints along the way. The route is considered demanding and requires a good level of physical fitness.

Finding your way

Signposting along the trail is unreliable, so always carry a map loaded on a GPS device. Keep an eye out for small red paint dabs and stone cairns, which serve as the main navigation aids along the route.
