Mallorca

Mallorca – Germany's "17th federal state" has much more to offer than just sun, Ballermann, and sunbeds reserved with towels. Frank Rumpf has been exploring the largest Balearic island for nearly five decades. In this book, he reveals its highlights, explains traditions, and dispels myths and prejudices. Who are these Mallorcans, and why do they never signal when turning while driving? Who were the likely biggest haters of Mallorca in history? How can you recognize a good Ensaïmada, and why shouldn't you order Paella for dinner? You will encounter the island's patron saint, whose traces lead all the way to California, and learn why Mallorca's beaches are getting narrower. Insights into an island for both newcomers and regular visitors alike.
