Those who enjoyed using the earlier editions of this guide found that the fourth edition was even better, with superb new maps and many new colour photographs. Upgraded walking routes avoided problem spots that arose in the past because of landowners who have objected to walkers crossing their land (even though the routes have always used public rights-of-way). This further updated fifth edition will delight Menorca's many enthusiasts. The large-scale (1:40,000) walking maps and the fold-out touring map now include the newly-inaugurated Camí de Cavalls, a round-the-island coastal walk.

Menorca is a peaceful island, free from most of the excesses of its neighbouring Balearic islands. Walks take you to some beautiful scenery, both inland and along the truly idyllic coastline. Rodney Ansell, the author, also tells you how to find the amazing prehistoric monuments to be found scattered all over the island. These (the one illustrated on the cover is just one example of scores of them) will fascinate anyone with the imagination to conjure up visions of the ancient history of Menorca.

Best months for walking: Menorca is the wettest of the Balearic islands, though July and August can normally be relied upon for lots of sun and heat (and for this reason are not ideal for walking). So choose April, May, June, September or October (when it will still be warm enough for most people) and take something showerproof for the occasional wet day.

Where to Stay If you are going to be relying on public transport, aim to stay in or near Mahón or Ciutadella so as to have easy access to the buses. But if you plan to hire a car, on this relatively small island, you will be able to reach most of the walks from any of the main resorts.
