GR221 Camina Per Mallorca. Day 6 - Esporles to Estelence

A different kind of faff this morning, trailing around some of Esporles side roads, squares and main street to find the supermarket. This meander actually enhanced our opinion of the town.

I am sorry to say that much of the first half of the walk from Esporles to Banyalbufar has become badly faded in my memory except for passing by the church in Esporles, stopping to look at a large house and gardens and kids on a school trip, then a couple of sections along a main road I only have an image of walking along good tracks through a forest, then a badly damaged farmhouse and arriving in Banyalbufar.

We had a break in the small square overlooking the road through the town, before taking stroll around this picturesque village perched above a broad valley leading down to the sea.

A few K along the MA-10 we stopped below a stone turret shaped lookout point for lunch. Then along the MA-10 again until we turned left along a new alternative route through farmland which cuts out a lot of road walking. We reached Estelence and it just so happen that the first place we came to was a bar. End of walk.

After a while we caught the bus to Palma and our hotel for the night the Hotel Catalonia. We all had dinner together, then Peter, Andy and I then nipped out to a very dubious bar down the road for a few beers.

The night and early morning views from our room were super.
