Deià – Refugio Tossals Verds Thursday, 29th February 2024 30,5 km – total 107,9 km Ah, it’s day 4, which is always critical for me during hikes. Jozef wakes me up at 6:30 AM, saying he’s well-rested. I, however, am not—it was a horrible night, but I get up anyway. In the dark, I change…
Font de s’Obi Shelter – Deià Wednesday, 28th February 2024 36,3 km – total 77,4km There was another storm last night. I woke up to the sound of water pouring into the reservoir, but I was warm and dry in my sleeping bag. We get up at 6:45 AM, and I pack quietly while Jozef…

Our first destination in 2024 is Mallorca. It wasn’t really planned, but the flight tickets were cheap, and we assumed it would be warmer than in Slovakia, though that might not be the case. We’re going there for a bit of nostalgia. I was there six years ago for an Erasmus exchange, and Jozef was…

Before Vila do Bispo – Praia do Barranco Wednesday, 27th December 2023 36,15 km – total 191,27 km We don’t cook anything this morning, so we leave unusually early, at 7:30 AM. We pass by a van that was parked there yesterday, and a dog is barking. Now we’re walking on a boring road, 5…
Arrifana – before Vila do Bispo Tuesday, 26th December 2023 32,01 km – total 155,12 km I was quite warm at night and didn’t sleep very well. After three nights in a tent, sleeping in a bed felt unfamiliar. We pack up and start hiking at 8 AM. After about 3 kilometers, we stop for…
Rogil – Arrifana Monday, 25th December 2023 – Christmas day 24,05 km – total 123,11 km We wake up late. After the prosecco, I didn’t feel like getting up.
