GR 221 — Sukhaya Stone Trail from Son-Amer to Pon-Romanu: Across Ridges and Mountain Meadows

Route at a glance

The lower section offers a gradual start before woodland gives way to more open terrain. The character of the area is especially clear in wooded lower slopes, mountain meadows and rocky ground. The route passes GR 221, Son-Amer and Pon-Romanu. Together they turn the walk into a coherent introduction to the area rather than a simple transfer.

Getting there

Without a car

From Palma, use TIB trains towards Inca or Sóller and regional buses to the nearest village. For mountain trailheads near the trailhead, check seasonal timetables and the last return service.

By car

Use the Ma-13/Ma-20 and local Serra de Tramuntana roads, including the Ma-10. Mountain roads are narrow, and access to some coves may be controlled.

Parking

Leave the car in a municipal village car park or at a signed trailhead. Do not block private entrances or narrow stone-walled lanes.
