This latest edition of Cicerone’s Walking in Mallorca was originally written by June Parker and has been updated by experience walker Paddy Dillon and is an extensive of the varying walking routes available around the island. The guide covers a wide range of the island’s diverse landscapes, exploring the areas around Andratx, Soller, Pollenca and Palma, taking in rugged mountains, remote valley, cliff coastlines and hidden mountain passes. Particular emphasis is given to the rugged Serra de Tramuntana which dominates the north-western corner of the island.

The guide is organized into sections describing 80 routes around the island and new mapping reflects the recent reclassification of Mallorca’s road numbering system. A comprehensive introduction explores the geology, scenery and natural history of the island as well as practical information on equipment, clothing, recommended maps, grading and route information and the walkers’ country code. Further appendices also describe the high level walk from Andratx to Pollenca in addition to language notes and a topographical glossary. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour diagrams mapping the route as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the island.
