GR221 Hike
Mallorca, Spain March 2024
In March 2024 I flew to Barcelona, Spain and then took a short flight to Palma to meet up with my friend Marc (an extremely talented photographer in his own right). Our goal was to hike the entirety of the GR221, 140 km/87 miles from its start in Port D’Andratx in the western part of the island to its finish in Pollenca in the northeastern part of the island. The photos below capture the 9 days of walking (well 8, apparently I put my head down and kept my camera tucked away on the last day).
