Description

How about discovering Majorca far from the crowds and postcard clichés?
The GR221, known as the Dry Stone Route (Ruta de la pedra en sec), takes you into the heart of a secret and authentic island, shaped by centuries of history and tradition.

Here, the stones speak. Hand-cut and carefully fitted together without mortar, they form paths, terraces, and walls that guide your steps along the trail—an open-air masterpiece and a living testimony to ancestral craftsmanship.

Stretching nearly 283 kilometers, the GR221 crosses the majestic Serra de Tramuntana, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you hike, you’ll move from the cool shade of Mediterranean forests to sun-drenched ridgelines, from dramatic cliffs plunging into turquoise seas to thyme- and rosemary-scented scrublands. Along the way, you’ll discover ocher-stone villages, remote fincas, and breathtaking viewpoints.

Every stage is a promise of wonder: preserved landscapes, rich endemic flora and fauna, and the spirit of an island proud of its traditions.

The Dry Stone Route is more than just a hiking trail—it’s a sensory journey, an immersion into the authentic, wild, and unforgettable Majorca, far from crowded beaches and mass tourism.

Lieux d'interet

Palma de Mallorca
The island’s vibrant capital, Palma charms with its medieval old town, dominated by the stunning Gothic cathedral La Seu overlooking the sea. Palaces, hidden courtyards, and lively markets reflect a rich past blending Arab, Jewish, and Christian influences. A city where culture, gastronomy, and Mediterranean lifestyle come together.

Banyalbufar
A picturesque village clinging to the mountainside, Banyalbufar is famous for its dry stone terraces cascading down toward the sea. Once a hub of Majorcan viticulture, today it offers striking views over the rugged coastline and some of the island’s most unforgettable sunsets.

Valldemossa
Perched at 1,300 feet (400 m) in the Tramuntana mountains, Valldemossa is arguably Majorca’s most iconic village. Its cobbled streets lined with flower-filled houses and its Royal Carthusian Monastery—where Chopin once stayed—create a uniquely enchanting atmosphere. A place of heritage, music, and timeless charm.

Deià
The bohemian jewel of the Tramuntana, Deià has attracted artists and dreamers for decades. With its golden-stone houses scattered across lush hillsides and sweeping views over the Mediterranean, it combines chic allure with authentic charm. Between galleries, artists’ studios, and hidden coves, Deià embodies Majorca’s laid-back elegance.

Sóller
Encircled by mountains and fragrant orange groves, Sóller is a true oasis in the Tramuntana. Its lively center, adorned with modernist architecture, recalls its prosperous trading past. Linked to Palma by a vintage wooden train, the town opens onto the charming Port de Sóller, a perfect blend of maritime tradition and seaside relaxation.

Lluc
In the heart of the mountains, Lluc is Majorca’s spiritual center. Its monastery, a revered pilgrimage site, houses the statue of the Moreneta, the Black Madonna, patron saint of the island. Surrounded by hiking trails and pristine nature, Lluc is a place of peace, contemplation, and deep connection to the Tramuntana.
