{"product_id":"9781852848507","title":"Trekking in Mallorca","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GR221 can be hiked 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a favourable climate and stunning scenery, the Serra de Tramuntana has much to tempt the hiker. The GR221 Drystone Route represents an ideal way to explore this fascinating World Heritage Site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cicerone Press Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050797908208,"sku":"9781852848507","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781852848507_p0.jpg?v=1763597111","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781852848507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
