Hiking in the Tramuntana Only with a Permit: Who Protects the Path, Who Protects the Rights?

Answer

Why is the GR-221 in Mallorca sometimes affected by access disputes?

Parts of the GR-221 cross land where access has been disputed, which can delay openings or create uncertainty for walkers. In Mallorca, that makes the long-distance trail more vulnerable to conflicts between public use and private ownership. When a section is blocked, the problem is not only inconvenience for hikers but also disruption for local communities and trail continuity.
