About this trip

The complete crossing of Mallorca takes you from the southwesternmost point, the port town of Port d’Andratx, to the northeasternmost point of the island, Cala Ratjada – a journey of over 200 kilometers in 12 stages, traversing the entire island. For the most part, you’ll follow the well-known GR221 through the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. In the northeast, the GR222 joins, leading you from Artà through the Llevant Natural Park to Colònia de Sant Pere. After passing the famous Lluc Monastery, you’ll encounter charming villages like Caimari, Selva, and Sineu.
