These include four guides to Irish long-distance walks, one of which is the Dingle Way, which I used myself some years ago, and found to be one of the best walking guides I had ever handled. -- Margaret Tees * Irish Mountain Log, Summer 2014, page 51 *The detail in this book convinced us that we could actually go do the trek. We bought two other books on walks in Ireland and none of the others were nearly as good as this one for the Dingle Way. The others were more overviews. This was a very specific trail guide with precise distances, markers, turns etc. -- Verified purchaser * Amazon customer review *The indispensable guide for the Dingle Way ... water-resistant pages in a ring binder, with color photos and good maps. -- Peter Bridges * Washington Times Special 22 July 2006 *

Book SynopsisThis guidebook describes the GR221, a 140km (87 mile) long-distance trail through northwestern Mallorca, from Port d'Andratx to Pollença. Also known as the 'Ruta de Pedra en Sec' ('the Drystone Route'), the GR221 is a celebration of Mallorca's limestone heritage, taking in many historic drystone structures as it traverses the rocky peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana. Following old stone-paved paths and mule trails, it showcases the region's beautiful landscape of mountains, forests and cultivated terraces, as well as its spectacular coastline. The GR221 can be walked in 1-2 weeks, although the guide also covers 3 alternative start-points and 3 alternative finishes, which would allow for a shorter trek. The main route is presented in 10 stages of 8.5-20.5km (5-13 miles), with a handful of optional detours to bag neighbouring summits. Detailed route description is accompanied by 1:25,000 mapping and inspirational photography, plus a wealth of information on local points of interest. Accommodation and travel are also thoroughly covered: the trail boasts good transport links and plentiful facilities on route, with accommodation in welcoming mountain villages and the occasional 'refugi'. A comprehensive introduction offers the opportunity to discover more about the region's diverse plants and wildlife and unique history and culture, and an English-Spanish-Catalan glossary can be found in the appendix. With a favourable climate and stunning scenery, the Serra de Tramuntana has much to tempt the walker. The GR221 Drystone Route represents an ideal way to explore this fascinating World Heritage Site.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Introduction Serra de Tramuntana GR221 - Ruta de Pedra en Sec Brief history of Mallorca Plants and wildlife Travel to Mallorca Travel around Mallorca When to go Accommodation Language Money Food and drink Water Walking the GR221 Emergencies Using this guide GR221 - The Drystone Route Stage 1 Port d'Andratx to Sant Elm Stage 2 Sant Elm to Ses Fontanelles Stage 3 Ses Fontanelles to Estellencs Stage 4 Estellencs to Esporles Stage 5 Esporles to Valldemossa Stage 6 Valldemossa to Dei#xe0; Stage 7 Dei#xe0; to Sóller Stage 8 Sóller to Tossals Verds Stage 9 Tossals Verds to Lluc Stage 10 Lluc to Pollença and Puig de Maria Alternatives Alternative start A s'Arracó to Ses Fontanelles Alternative start B es Capdell#xe0; to Estellencs Alternative start C Calvi#xe0; to Estellencs Alternative finish D Sóller to Cala Tuent Alternative finish E Tossals Verds to Alaró or Orient Alternative finish F Lluc to Caimari via GR222 Appendix A Route summary table Appendix B Glossary Appendix C Public transport Appendix D Accommodation Appendix E Useful contacts
