Product Description

Product Description

More than twenty new walks are included in this 3rd edition, long regarded as the definitive guide to the island's routes. These include easy and beautiful coastal walks on the Arts headland and several tough new mountain routes which offer a challenge to the more experienced walker, such as the little known Es Puntals between Esporles and Banyalbufar. One new excursion in the north is a fascinating circular route into the area south of Tomir, past the old house of Ses Figueroles and returning by a newly restored footpath from Lluc to Caimari. Three different walks to the Penyals d'Honor are described, on the wooded plateau belonging to the Community of Bunyola, which can be reached by the mountain railway between Palma and Soller. In the Soller area two ascents of Balitx are given as well as the more familiar circuit, and an easy walk using traditional old paths from Soller up to the Mirador des Barques provides interest for the more moderate walker. Suggestions for a three-day walk from Andratx to Valldemossa have been included, which can be used in conjunction with that already described from Valldemossa to Pollensa. Another innovation is to include walks on the island of Dragonera, accessible by boat from either San Telmo or the Port of Andratx. Many other walks have been rewritten to take into account recent changes, including footpath diversions such as the one which diverts walkers away from the Cases de L'Odre above Soller, while some of the original walks have been dropped because of access problems.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quite good overview but poor on detail, 21 May 2002
Having just returned from a week walking in Mallorca and using this book as a guide I can say that on the whole I was disappointed with the content. The main problem is that the walking guides lack important details, particularly at the start of walks. I think we managed to get lost, or at least have some trouble finding our way on all of the walks described by this author. For example on our last walk, half way through you are told that you approach a gate, which indeed you do. But then it is not made clear whether you pass through the gate or continue along the road. We did the latter and got lost! Another problem is the timings of the walks.....it is often unclear if the time given is for a one way walk or includes the return. No times are given for when you might expect to meet certain features along the walk.
If you buy this book I would advise that you use it with caution and check each direction given very carefully.

1.0 out of 5 stars once a classic but now way out of date, 16 Jan 2005
By tony atwood (cheshire) - See all my reviews
Unfortunately I have to agree with all the other reviewers comments on this book being so out of date. Walkers on Mallorca owe June parker a huge debt for her pioneering work, but since her death in 1998 Walking in Mallorca does not seem to have been updated at all; despite a flashy new cover.
Buy it as a collectors item but not as a guide book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Vague route descriptions, 30 April 2002
By A Customer
Maybe I was unlucky in the routes I chose but I found the book less than helpful when walking. It is clear and easy to follow when walking on tracks and paths, but when the trails are not obvious the instuctions are certainly not clear - e.g. "walk towards the dead tree on the ridge" (where I was walking there were at least a dozen dead trees!)
Maps in the book are not at all clear and you certainly need another map unless following obvious trails.
That said though, there is an enormouse amount of walks covered and background information is good (includes timetables of all public transport you are likely to use and details of accommodation).
