Travel Handbook Travel Guide Mallorca

For the 5th edition of the DuMont Travel Guide, authors Susanne Lipps and Oliver Breda were again intensively on the ground. Although Mallorca is an extremely popular vacation destination, there are still many exciting and little-visited corners to discover on the island, such as the roof terraces of Palma Cathedral, which have been newly opened for viewing and offer a panoramic view of the city. From Palma in the southwest of the island to the attractions of Deiá, Sóller and Valdemossa in the mountainous northwest to the tranquil towns of the east coast, all regions and cities worth visiting are described. For each chapter, a double page "At a glance" presents the highlights, the most beautiful routes, active nature experiences and special tips from the authors. Place by place Susanne Lipps and Oliver Breda have selected accommodations and restaurants, which are marked in the city maps. Since eating out in Mallorca is not an inexpensive pleasure, recommended takeaways have been included for the first time. In the shopping addresses is a new focus on regional and organic products. Hikes open up the most beautiful landscapes, for example at Cap Andritxol or on pilgrimage routes and the old postal route - with its now reopened section Camí des Rafal - through the Serra de Tramuntana or from bay to bay between Cala Rajada and Cala Mesquida. Much worth knowing about Mallorca, about the history and present or the everyday life of the people, can be read in the introductory regional studies as well as in the interspersed theme pages.For a quick orientation provide the detailed extra travel map at a scale of 1 : 175 000, an overview map with the highlights and 40 city maps, hiking and route maps.
