Path clear — but why so late? Soller must reopen closed GR-221 section

Answer

Why was a GR-221 path near Soller closed for so long?

The section at Bàlitx d’enmig was closed by the landowner years ago, and the route was rerouted instead of fully restored. The case shows how complicated public hiking paths in Mallorca can become when old trail rights, private land, and weak enforcement overlap.
