Description
Hiking in the Mountains of Mallorca is a comprehensive guide to the spectacular Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the best areas in the Mediterranean for mountain hiking. The book is written in Swedish and is suitable both for those who want to hike the entire GR221 long-distance trail and for those who want to enjoy beautiful day hikes during their vacation in Mallorca.
Mallorca is much more than just beaches and beach vacations. Every year, hundreds of thousands of hikers travel to the island to experience its dramatic mountains, ancient stone-paved trails, idyllic mountain villages, and magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea. The well-known GR221—Ruta de Pedra en Sec —follows historic trails throughout the Serra de Tramuntana and is one of Europe’s most beautiful long-distance trails.
This book provides all the information you need to plan your trip. You’ll find suggestions for dividing the trip into stages based on lodging and public transportation, an overview of places where the trail markings may be unclear, alternative routes and day trips, as well as useful information about Mallorca’s history, culture, and attractions.
This guide is suitable both for those who want to hike the entire GR221 over several days and for those who want to combine short mountain hikes with a vacation along the coast. Thanks to good bus connections, comfortable accommodations, and a wide variety of restaurants, it’s easy to tailor your hikes to your own preferences and abilities.
