There are six refuges. Together they offer 332 beds. For the March to May period, the busiest was Tossals Verds in Escorca with 3,302 guests. The others are Son Amer (also in Escorca), Can Boi in Deya, Galatzó in Calvia, Pont Romà (Pollensa) and Muleta (Soller).
In June, the refuges will have accommodated 3,183 hikers, an increase of 9.3%.
The councillor for the rural environment, Pedro Bestard, says: "The lengthening of the high spring season is due to several factors, such as the increase in hikers on the Dry Stone Route. Logically, this is translating into an increase in overnight stays.
"The increase in bookings reflects the great acceptance that our routes have among hikers from all over the world."

Good to see an interesting piece in MDB that doesn't involve balconing, feral behaviour, crime or protests.
