Questions and answers
When should I avoid GR 221 Stage 9 from Pont Romà to Port de Pollença?
The official page mentions only the weather: it is worth setting out when it lets you enjoy the sea. In summer morning or evening is better, because the route is exposed.
How do I get back from Port de Pollença to Pollença?
The two towns are a few kilometres apart, and local buses run between them. Check the specific TIB line and times at tib.org: they were not verified at the time of our check.
Do I need a permit or reservation for GR 221 Stage 9?
Not for the walk; the official page mentions no permit. A bed at the Pont Romà refuge requires a reservation through the Consell system or by phone (+34 971 173 700).
Is there water or food on GR 221 Stage 9?
Yes, but not from trail sources: the stage passes through built-up areas, so you can buy food in Pollença and Port de Pollença; Pont Romà serves meals (lunch €13).
