Product Description

The times they are a-changing in the Balearics. Mallorca, and its smaller neighbour Menorca, may have been among Europe's most popular holiday hotspots for the past forty or so years, but the days when they were synonymous with boisterous, boozy package tours are well and truly over. True, you can still get sand, sea, sun, sombreros and sangria if that's what you're after, but Mallorca, in particular, has spectacularly and surprisingly rebranded itself as one of the classiest holiday destinations on the Med. Nowhere will you find a greater concentration of stylish hotels - ranging from full-on metropolitan luxury to rustic farmhouse chic - and first-rate restaurants in every price bracket. Add in the island's stunning natural beauty, particularly in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, the developed tourist infrastructure and the range of activities on offer and you have a unique destination that can satisfy just about any holiday demand you make.

Review
"'Time Out, famous for its city guides, takes a break from the urban world with this complete look at Mallorca and Menorca. This culturally savvy book seeks out the undiscovered treats of the island and shakes off the trashy image. This is the ideal companion to the off-the-beaten-track side of Spain.' - The Observer"

From the Publisher
Although among Europe’s most popular holiday hotspots, Mallorca, and its smaller neighbour Menorca, remain two of the most compelling and rewarding destinations in the Mediterranean
