During this easy stage, the trail follows on one hand nicely paved paths…

… on the other hand stony paths that contribute to the name of the GR221, “The Drystone Route“.

The village of Banyalbufar, surrounded by cultivation terraces, is reached towards the half of the stage.

It is a perfect opportunity for hikers to take a lunch break or even to split the stage into two.

I remember telling my mom: “ahh finally we get to walk on the famous rocky roads of the GR221!“.

Little did we know about the tiring effect of the stones for our feet!
