Mallorca Wallk: Walk & Eat Valerie Crespi-Green 4.º edición

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 decor 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. Really love these Sunflower guides, they all contain the personality of the authors who love the area; you get to understand and trust them. Highly recommended as a good introduction to the best walks on the island.
