Lluc Monastery to Pollença - GR221

Lucky for me, I wrote down at the groups room numbers last night, as it all looked a bit the same in the corridors of the monastery when I went to wake them in the morning!


Breakfast was superb and a welcome change from our recent standard of dry bread and cheese. 



It took a while to get organised after multiple plate re-fills and sourcing some lunch from the local shop. Eventually at gone 10:30, we set off from Lluc. You can just see the monastery in the left of this photo.



It was the first day of clear skies, which on one hand was lovely, but made also made things a bit tougher and certainly sweatier. 



At least we only had a small height to climb and then the rest of the day was descending down to the lower valley. 



It was certainly warmer down at sea level, having spent the last few days up in the mountains.





The last 6km or was was flat but seemed to go on and on through the fields.



Finally at around 17:30, we found ourselves outside the refuge on the edge of a town called Pollença. It was an old stone building and inside it was cool, as well as having a small shady garden area. Showers, a brew, then soon dinner followed. A big day at just over 19km.
