Holiday Walks in Mallorca, Graham Beech - Here is a new side to Mallorca - an escape from the crowds. The diverse walks included will enable the rambler to discover rural traditions and explore quiet villages. The variety of scenery on this island is stunning - one can enjoy views from below and on top of magnificent mountains, or combine a coastal walk with a refreshing dip in the sea. As well as the presence of this blue Mediterranean backdrop, there are country strolls amid olive groves to be enjoyed, and more demanding rambles in the mountainous north-west of this dramatic island.

Walking in Mallorca, June Parker and Paddy Dillon - "Walking in Mallorca" quickly established itself as the most comprehensive guidebook to the island, with particular emphasis on the rugged Serra de Tramuntana. June Parker's routes have been walked afresh, carefully checked and amended where necessary, and are now presented with new mapping and plenty of colour pictures. This book will entice walkers well off the beaten track, enabling them to explore the most diverse terrain around the island. Rugged mountain walks contrast with remote valleys, while waymarked trails give way to long-forgotten mule tracks and hidden mountain passes. Some walks run close to breathtaking cliff coastlines, while others pass through sleepy villages where welcome refreshment can be obtained. Published Oct 06

The Rough Guide to Mallorca and Menorca  - A handbook to two of the Mediterranean's most beautiful and popular islands. From the cosmopolitan street life of Palma to Menorca's remote prehistoric ruins, it features a section that introduces the islands' highlights. It provides route descriptions of hikes on both islands, as well as tips on bird-watching. Published April 10

Mallorca (Landscapes), Valerie Crespi-Green - This is one of the books that won Sunflower Books 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 Mallorca, published when the island had a reputation as a haven for 'larger louts'. Sunflower's author 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 sixth 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. Car tours and picnic suggestions are included, as are timetables for public transport. Published July 10

Menorca Car Tours and Walks - Pocket-sized and in full colour, this new edition describes car tours, walks and countryside picnics.

Timetables for local transport. Unique free on-line update service with specific route change information. Series (50 destinations) dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times. Published March 10

Ibiza and Formentera (Landscapes) - Until the sixties, Ibiza belonged to the Ibizans, and only a few artists, poets and writers lived in this paradise. Then the flower-children arrived, the hippies and drop-outs. In the last 30 years however, mass tourism has taken over and unfortunately destroyed much of the charm of Ibiza and Formentera. But not everything on the islands has been spoiled. 'Bed and burgerbar' building has reached saturation point, and a visit to the pine islands' (the 'Pityussae', as the Greeks called them) is still worthwhile today. There's an unending wealth of hidden beauty spots to be discovered, and this new edition of the book helps you to find the best of Ibiza and Formentera, whether you travel by car, bicycle, or on foot.
