    The GR221 trail in Mallorca is a 140km route that can take up to 7 days to complete at a moderate difficulty level. There are 7 refuges and many places to camp along the trail. Hikers should bring sun protection, waterproof layers in case of rain, breathable shoes, a map since signposting is lacking, and supplies since there are opportunities to resupply. Mobile phone service is limited so hikers should use airplane mode. The locals are friendly and shops observe regular Spanish siesta hours.

    HOTELS REFUGES WILD


    REFUGIES

    There are 7 refuges (+1 off-trail) on the GR221 route, most of which must be booked at least a few days in advance.
    However, some still have vacancies. Some have shelters with drinking water taps, where you can spend the night for
    free and refill your water. Refugia come in handy in the rain and for showering. Otherwise, it is better to sleep
    outside.
    WILD

    There are many places to sleep, such as various shelters, freely accessible brick buildings, ruins, rock overhangs, etc.
    For sleeping, it is one of the friendliest GRs in Europe, despite the fact that sleeping rough is prohibited in Mallorca.
    Just always clean up after yourself and take away what you brought.

    Mobile Phones

    There is no mobile signal in many places along the


    GR221 route. There, I recommend switching your
    phone to Airplane mode.
    People

    The locals are very friendly, smiling, positive, willing like all Spaniards,
    happy to help at any time, at least with good advice.
    Siesta

    Shops are often closed in towns and cities between 1pm and
    4pm. They don't even open on Sundays to be sure. They open
    late in the morning, around nine o'clock.
    THANKS!
