One of the books that won us the Sunday Times 'Oscar' for best guide book publisher and since 1984 the most widely-used walking guide for Mallorca. It was the first walking guide for the Mallorca, published when the island had a reputation as a haven for 'lager louts'. We knew better, and Mallorca is now one of the most popular walking areas in Europe (and a favourite destination for bird-watchers, too). This completely revised fifth edition updates the routes and maps to reflect changes since the previous edition was published. Whatever your age or hiking abilities, there's something here for you ­ from coastal strolls to extremely challenging climbs and descents.

Best walking months are May, June and October, but you can hike on Mallorca all year round, except for July-early September, when it is far too hot. February, for example, can be gorgeous, because all the almond trees will be in blossom.

Where to stay if you plan to walk: Palma, the capital, has bus services to every part of the island so it makes an excellent base for walkers. But if you prefer a more leisurely pace, still with good transport links, consider Soller or Pollença or their respective ports, or certainly somewhere in the western part of the island. (The highest concentration of walks is on the north-west side of the island between Port d'Andratx and Alcudia. East of a line from Palma in the south through Inca to Alcudia in the north, there are only three walks: one at Cala Pi, another at Santa Eugenia and the other at Cala Estreta.)
