Product Description

This is one of the books that won Sunflower Books the Sunday Times 'Oscar' for best guide book publisher and since 1984 the most widely-used walking guide for Mallorca. It was the first walking guide for Mallorca, published when the island had a reputation as a haven for 'larger louts'. Sunflower's author knew better, and Mallorca is now one of the most popular walking areas in Europe (and a favourite destination for bird-watchers, too). This completely revised sixth edition updates the routes and maps to reflect changes since the previous edition was published. Whatever your age or hiking abilities, there's something here for you - from coastal strolls to extremely challenging climbs and descents. Car tours and picnic suggestions are included, as are timetables for public transport.

Adds a new dimension to your Mallorca holiday
My wife and I have just come back from our second walking holiday in Mallorca. As our previous Sunflower Guide was over 10 years old we treated ourselves to the latest edition, and weren't disappointed. Valerie Crespi-Green's guide is a sure way to a add a new dimension to your Mallorca holiday with car tours, picnics and, above all, excellent walks in the more scenic parts of the island - mostly in the mountainous north. We did six of the walks in the book on this trip - some of them in curtailed versions due to the short winter days. All are highly recommended, and take you into corners of the countryside that you might well not discover otherwise. Directions are easy to follow and - a big plus not always true of Sunflower books - we found that the author's times were more or less the same as our own - which takes on extra importance in the winter. An excellent Sunflower Guide!

Good Guide to Mallorcan Countryside
I've had various editions of this book since 1984 and appreciate the car and attention that has gone into it. Just one of these walks, picnic spots or even car tours will give you an idea how beautiful Mallorca is.

Good for walks and picnic spots
We have used various Sunflower guides over several years and have always found them useful. In particular there are little maps showing each walk this is particularly useful in Mallorca, where until recently it has been difficult to obtain good accurate walking maps. It has also enabled us to confidently go for walks in areas where we haven't got a detailed map. Now that we have 2 young children who cannot walk very far we find the picnic spots very useful as they often have a little stroll which is just right for little people.
