The weather, spring flowers, outstanding limestone terrain.

'Mallorca, for many years a byword for sun-and-sangria holidays, has a far more desirable, largely secret side. In its off-peak season many walkers have, since the 1970s, delighted in its rugged mountains and network of ancient mule tracks.

This book by the late June Parker, and Englishwoman who fell in love with the island's hidden side during the height of the rapacious package holiday era, was one of the first to extol in English the delights of Mallorcan walking. Originally published in 1986, it has become a classic. This new version, updated, contains clear and concise descriptions of 57 routes ranging from easy strolls to tough long-distance treks both through and over the main mountains. All walks are graded and the high-quality uncluttered maps are excellent.'
