- Cycling the world - Europe: 163 episode
In the second episode of my bikepacking adventure around the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, part of my endless journey cycling around the world since 2015, I wake up at my wild camp on the hiking trail GR-221. I try to follow the trail as much as possible until it becomes physically impossible due to my herniated back and the excessive hike-a-bike sections. The trail also features many obstacles like fences and walls that require ladders to overcome, so I eventually return to the paved road to continue and complete my tour of Mallorca. Join me as I navigate these challenges and explore the beautiful landscapes of the island.

Beautiful landscape! Trees, rocks, water. Yum. And great postcards. Have a nice rest for yourself in Barcelona.
Thank you very much 😊🙏
Great to see you in good shape my friend and hope to see you cycling canarias islande..... 🇲🇦✊🇵🇸✊🇮🇹
Thank you, Canary Islands are too far!
Thanks for the advice you gave me the previous video in comments! After turning off internet connection in my phone i only used like 30% on a dwo day test trip where i was riding all day, checking map all the time. Before turning the internet off i could only ride one day and the battery was drained
Yeah if you use it in airplane mode a phone should last 2 days
فيديو جميل جدا كالعادة ، تستحق مليون مشترك على الاقل ،، تحياتي لك من الجزائر
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
Davide, I'm just catching back up with your travels, and before I forget, I want to request that you ride the Appian Way sometime in the future. You could stop and film so much amazing history on the journey. Cheers. Now I better start catching up, I'm behind a few episodes.
Great suggestion! Although I dont think the Appia Antica is that interesting 😊🙏
@@DavideTravelli Not that interesting? Surely you jest! 😉 All things Roman history are interesting. I also wanted to tell you your PayPsl gives a message "you are no longer accepting cash payments", didn't know if you knew this.
@@Deadfoot-Dan yeah I’m aware! They terminated my account. I made an appeal and made a post on social media trying to find a direct contact at PayPal which I did but many people found themselves in my situation and it’s never quick. Basically PayPal is country and using it while travelling triggers al sorts of flags. Normally I never touch it, it’s all automated but I needed to update my expired credit card an FB because my bank is Irish and I was in France and the process failed a few times because I had forgotten to activate the credit card. Long story short I cannot use PayPal for the time being possibly ever. At the moment the only way is bank transfers for Europeans and I think I should be able to accept bank transfers with a us bank account number as I have a Wise app account that I never really used but it’s active. For a more long term solution, recurring donations (monthly subscriptions) etc I need to setup a new platform which is probably Stripe but it might take a couple of weeks to setup.
If I knew you were here in Mallorca you could have stayed at my house. I go camping very often to that lluc campsite, it's really relaxing.
About the GR221 it's really fun, but walking, not with bikes. Of course you can do it with bike, but it's the difference between joy and suffering. I'm doing it hiking in the winter, staying in refugios.
And finally, I didn't know you were from Bergamo, I was there last week for working reasons, but in the afternoon I went to Lecco, I rented a bike and I cycle a little bit by the lake of Como. Very very nice area, I want to go back. Saluti
Yeah that would have been nice, I didnt find any hosts in Mallorca and stayed in Lluc because of the rain bu also I really needed to get a shower 😅
Next time you are in Bergamo you should go up Citta' Alta is nice and charming and do some of the classic climbs we have cycling up either Val Brembana or Val Seriana. In Bergamo there is also a very nice hiking trail it's called Sentiero delle Orobie and you can sleep each night at the rifugio but the rifugio are all managed so you have to pay.
Hola, Davide.
En el minuto 1:30, ese zócalo de madera en el borde izquierdo es una guía para las personas invidentes. No sé si llegaste a ver que había carteles informativos de la flora y fauna a lo largo de ese tramo. En el zócalo, mediante una malla, los invidentes pueden localizarlos con sus bastones.
Un saludo y buen viaje.
Hola Aina, gracias por el dato. Ahora tiene mas sentido!
💪🏼👏🏻
😊🙏
I was very disappointed, no loubia in the video.
Lol I'm in France now, there is laben for sale at Carrefour, I'm sure in some cities with Arabic restaurants there is loubia but in Europe I cannot afford restaurants!
@@DavideTravelli So now you know what you have to do for more loubia content. As usual, great video.
Thank you!
I was inspired, I went online and found the very simple recipe, and made a delicious pot of it.
@DavideTravelli I miss the loubia too , I didn't have a chance to go to France this year due the Olympic games .
Where are you in France ?
Davide, how do you manage shaving, especially your head on such tours? Head is normally electric, no?
Ciao
Frank
I use a simple razor, the same for head and beard most of the time with normal soap bar 😅
@@DavideTravelli I would be scared to cut myself!
Nah it’s easy
@@DavideTravelli 🤣🤣🤣
i need loubiaa😂
😎
So easy to make, so delicious, I now need it too. 🤣
💕💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Camping is not allowed in the entire natural area of the Sierra de Tramuntana because it is a World Heritage Site and may be subject to sanctions.
I'm cycling around the world and follow the leave no traces principles. I surely have more respect for the nature than the two idiots park guards I met.
