GR221/Stage 8 of 10

GR221 · Stage 8 of 10

Sóller and Port de Sóller to Tossals Verds

The only place to sleep on this stage, with no village and no hotel nearby. Two tiny environment-agency shelters at Cúber and Gorg Blau, one to two hours away, are booked separately. Luggage transfer usually can't reach it. Operators such as Howlanders have you carry a lighter bag for this night and the next.
