The Spanish island of Mallorca lures travelers in search of sunshine, sandy beaches, and sparkling seas, but its charms also include world-class art collections, dramatic mountain peaks, and rolling vineyards.
Explore Mallorca is part of a brand-new series and is the ideal pocket companion when discovering this stunning Balearic island: a full-color guide containing 14 easy-to-follow routes, starting with three tours exploring the historical, artistic, and gourmet charms of Mallorca’s capital, Palma, before taking in the Modernista architecture of Sóller, the glorious beach of Es Trenc, the celestial sanctuaries of Felanitx and Petra, and the charming villages of the island’s interior.
Insight’s trademark cultural coverage perfectly sets the routes in context, with introductions to Mallorca’s exciting cuisine, nightlife, and myriad outdoor activities.
