NEW TOUR & TRAIL MAPS FOR MALLORCA
These new editions are a significant upgrade from our previous Mallorca North & Mountains Tour & Trail Map, as we have split Serra de Tramuntana in two halves to produce TWO much more detailed maps of larger scale.
You can see map sections indicating the areas covered by our new maps in our blog:
--------------------------
What’s included?
-
GR 221 long-distance route is specially
highlighted in the map (red), with a boxed mini-guide to the GR 221
and GR 222, summarizing the most important aspects of the main
route, its variants and accommodation.
-
Our legendary 'Tour & Trail' level
of detail ranges from railways, motorways, main roads, secondary
roads, minor roads, streets and narrow country lanes, dirt tracks to
walking trails and faint/difficult paths.
-
Altitude shading is designed to clearly
show the altitude range when travelling across the island by car,
bus, or on foot. 20-metre and 100-metre contours combined with the
altitude shading bring this beautiful landscape to life.
-
There are plenty of individual height
points and all of the official 'Trig' points are on the map. Tour &
Trail attention to detail includes our useful symbol range such as
viewpoints, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants and
parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will
easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, museums, churches,
chapels, crosses, cemeteries, lighthouses, forts, wind turbines,
windmills, hotels and tourist attractions. It all adds up to the
most detailed and most durable map of Mallorca's Tramuntana North
that you can get.
-
Our new guide to Mallorca's public
transport will help you get oriented with the various service
providers that operate buses, trains, metro and tram, to make the
most of your adventures. Bus stops along with actual bus numbers are
then highlighted in the map to help you see where each bus runs.
Those relying on a hire car will appreciate kilometre markers
plotted each kilometre in the map on most roads, aiding you track
progress and show where you are. Symbols indicate features such as
viewpoints, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants and
parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will
easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, museums, churches,
chapels, crosses, cemeteries, lighthouses, forts, wind turbines,
windmills, hotels and tourist attractions.
