MALLORCA TRAIL GUIDE
Under the big Mallorcan sky, visitors and inhabitants run to a Balearic beat. A demanding yet highly rewarding territory not just for cyclists, but also runners, you can really uncover this enchanting island in the middle of the Meditarranean with just a pair of running shoes.
Here we present a selection of six trail running routes, following parts of the GR221, a 130km plus trail that runs from Andratx in the southwest up to Alcúdia in the north. Our flagship Café and store, in Plaça del Rosari, the centre of Palma, is also a great spot to begin your adventure or relax afterwards.
There’s mixed terrain consisting of quiet rocky and dusty tracks, smooth pavement, shaded forest canopies and exposed ridges. True discoveries are only made when you push yourself beyond the footsteps of the average tourist. Mos deim coses!
TRAIL ROUTES
There’s a wide range of routes offering varying difficulty levels including a long run discovering the world renonwned Sa Calobra and an easier 10km run by the beach. All offering adventures at your own personal pace.
