Itinerary description
Cuber (bus stop) (Ma-10 road 33.7 km) (761 m) - Coll de sa Coma des Ases - Coll del Portellet - Pas Llis - Refugi de Tossals Verds (525 m) (5.6 km) - Solleric - Alaro (bus stop) GR 221
This variant of the Ruta de Pedra en Sec GR 221 hiking trail starts in the shadow of Puig Major, the highest peak in the island of Mallorca, between the reservoirs of Cúber and Es Gorg Blau; after passing Pas Llis, it opens onto the plain of Pla de Mallorca, with breathtaking views of the steep slopes of the ravine called Torrent d’Almadrà, always on the Western side of Puig des Tossals Verds.
The rugged and rocky landscape, dominated by the giant local grass species called càrritx with scattered pine trees and shrubs, reveals the influence of its recent past as pastures for livestock and the hard work by the coal workers, where it is still possible to see several coal mines.
Alaró:
With slightly over 5,000 inhabitants Alaró has its origins in the Moorish farmstead of Olorón. In the past, the local economy was based on industry and mining, with over thirty shoe factories and important lignite mines. In 1901, it was also the first town in Mallorca to have a mains electricity supply. Of special interest is the parish church, built between 1626 and 1785, and the seigneurial houses, where the owners of the great possessions or estates, lived, in addition to a good many examples of local architecture, such as wayside crosses, wash houses, etc.
See route information on page 138-143 and 170-177 in the Government’s booklet
