Mallorca

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.
