Book Description
Mallorca is not only a primary holiday destination for sun-lovers, but also a true hiking paradise, with lovely valleys, wild, romantic gorges and countless panoramic summits, all in the serene hinterland, tucked away from the seasonally overcrowded coasts. The "other" Mallorca surprises the visitor with a well-developed network of trails, and offers a variety of tours for all demands and levels of difficulty, starting from simple beach walks, to adventurous cliff tours and challenging mountain hikes, up to a spectacular canyon crossing. Rolf Goetz, the author of this Rother hiking guide, is one of the best experts on the Spanish Islands, and, through his various publications, has already made an excellent name for himself. He presents hikers with a wide variety of entertaining tour suggestions, mainly emphasising the wild, chasm-filled Serra de Tramuntana in the Northwest, but also including other island regions. This handy little hiking book, which opens up one of the most popular island hiking destinations in the Mediterranean area, has 77 tour recommendations described in detail, generously illustrated by colour photos and colour map excerpts (scale 1:50,000 and 1:75,000). Thoroughly-researched introductory chapters with tips on interesting sights and a bus schedule complete this excellent guide, which no traveller should do without. Thus, this guide remains a reliable companion on all hikes on this diverse island.

Book Description
This was the first walking guide for Mallorca, the guide that won Sunflower the Sunday Times 'Oscar' for best travel guide - and eventually made the island one of the most popular walking areas in Europe. The author has lived on Mallorca for over 30 years and knows the island intimately. This completely revised 7th edition includes newly-drawn maps incorporating the recently inaugurated GR221 ('Drystone Route') - a long-distance walk which is covered almost in its entirety by the 60 long and short day walks in the book. The guide features information 'boxes' on Mallorcan customs and landscape which complement and add interest to the text describing the drives and walks. 10 car tours (with accompanying touring map), 60 long and short walks (each illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps), 27 picnic suggestions. Plan of Palma. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily. The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.

Book Description
This pocket-sized full-colour guide is designed for walking in Mallorca with a gastronomical touch, using public transport. Even 'non-walkers' will appreciate the recommendations for Mallorca restaurants. The walks are dotted all around the island, with most in the west and mountainous northwest. Note: There is some overlapping of walk routes between this book and Landscapes of Mallorca, so do use the 'Look Inside' facility to compare coverage in the two guide books. For each suggested restaurant there is a photograph of the dcor and one of their dishes, plus sample menu, price guide, opening times and a recipe for one of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, logistics on arrival, local markets and specialities, glossary of local food terms, and a restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors and are known to 'work'. 10 walks and 2 excursions (one long trip by train, tram and boat, the other a train ride to the centre of the island); plan of central Palma; island map; large-scale (1:35,000) topo maps for the walks. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.
