Mallorca Walking Guide Summary

Mallorca Walking Guide: 90 long and short walks plus 6 car tours by Valerie Crespi-Green

The go-to Mallorca travel guide for over 30 years.

Strap on your boots and discover Mallorca on foot with the Sunflower Mallorca travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.

The Sunflower Mallorca guide is indispensable for hiking in Mallorca or seeing Mallorca by car. This was the first walking guide for Mallorca, the guide that won Sunflower the Sunday Times Oscar for best travel guide and eventually made the island one of the most popular walking areas in Europe.

The author has lived on Mallorca for over 35 years and knows the island intimately. She has also been able to recheck most of the routes as well as adding several new walks.

This completely revised 9th edition, in a wider format with 50% more pages, features newly drawn maps and incorporates both the GR221 (Drystone Route) and the GR222 (still a work in progress). These long-distance walks have been incorporated in the day walks. There are also 6 car tours with accompanying fold-out touring map, as well as plans of Palma and Soller, bus, train and boat timetables and panels of information on Mallorcan customs and features of the landscape. A free online update service informs users of any route-change information.

Inside the Sunflower Mallorca guide book youll find:

  • 90 long and short walks for all ages and abilities each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk
  • Topographical walking maps give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain
  • Free downloadable gps tracks for the techies
  • Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists
  • 6 car tours and fold-out touring map for easy reference on your tour
  • Strolls to idyllic picnic spots enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way
  • Timetables for public transport ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday
  • Online update service for the latest information

Whether you decide to tour Mallorca by car or explore on foot we look forward to showing you around.

About Valerie Crespi-Green

Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our little blue books to follow the trails and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands from the Azores to Zakynthos but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our Walk & Eat series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
