Book description
A new and fully updated edition of the most comprehensive walking guide
to Mallorca, in the Balearic islands off the eastern coast of Spain in
the Mediterranean, with 80 routes now illustrated with new mapping and
colour pictures. This book will entice walkers well off the beaten
track, enabling them to explore the island's diverse terrain. Rugged
mountain walks contrast with remote valleys, while waymarked trails give
way to long-forgotten mule tracks and hidden mountain passes. Some walks
run close to breathtaking cliff coastlines, while others pass through
sleepy villages where welcome refreshment can be obtained. A full
introduction gives advice on walking on Mallorca and details facilities
around the island. New mapping reflects the reclassification of
Mallorca's road numbering system. Language notes in native Catalan and
Castilian Spanish enable visitors to make the most of their visit.
