Mountain Walking in Mallorca


Book Description

A guidebook describing 50 walks in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in the northwest of Mallorca.

Walks range from 4 to 24km (2–15 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2–8 hours. Divided geographically into seven sections, they can be easily accessed from mountain towns and villages such as Andratx, Sóller and Pollença. 1:25,000 Editorial Alpina maps included for each walk GPX files available to download Most routes accessible by public transport (details provided) Easy access from Palma Highlights include sa Dragonera island and Torrent de Pareis gorge

The main route extends 141km (88 miles) from Port d’Andratx to Pollença and is described in 10 detailed stages of between 9 and 20km (5–12 miles). Also included are alternative starts from s’Arracó, es Capdellà and Calvià, and alternative finishes to Cala Tuent, Alaró, Orient, Caimari and Port de Pollença. 1:25,000 Alpina mapping for each stage Extensive information on public transport, accommodation and refreshments, including accommodation listings Optional detours to climb neighbouring peaks Advice on preparation and planning History, plants and wildlife and local points of interest




Walk and Eat Mallorca


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.
