Variant

The variant

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 Majorca, 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.

This 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.
