Day 4: From Valdemossa to Sóller via Camí de s’Arxiduc and Pla dels Aritges plateau

            The GR221 Drystone Route (Ruta de Pedra en Sec) traverses Mallorca's 🇪🇸 Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, following rock paths and mule tracks between picturesque villages and small towns.

The trail winds through Mallorca's surprisingly beautiful landscape of mountains, deep woods and cultivated terraces, as well as its spectacular coastline, with accommodation available in charming mountain villages and the occasional 'refugis'. (Wild camping is possible and quite common though it may require meticulous planning in terms of water sourcing.)

-----

We chose beginning of October for our trip to avoid summer heats yet to still enjoy warm days and favourable rainless weather. Besides refugio Tossals Verds, we opted mainly for hotels, sometimes splurging unnecessarily to match our itinerary and/or due to the lack of other accommodation choices.

Our week-long itinerary was as follows: s’Arracó -> Estellencs -> Esporles -> Valldemossa/Deià -> Sóller -> Tossals Verds -> Lluc -> Caimari.
