This fully updated guide to Mallorca, Ibiza and Tenerife contains over 500 new routes - all of high quality, brief sections on Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, 80 maps and topos of all the major climbing areas with outstanding colour photography. Mallorca remains a premier foreign holiday destination form Brits abroad. Even with the emergence of Greece and Turkey, along with other more exotic summer venues, Mallorca still sees in excess of seven million visitors a year. The chief attractions are the unending summer sunshine, fine beaches and crystal clear seas.;To service this summer influx there is a massive infrastructure with 'Costa de Concrete' stretching from around the Bahia de Palma from Santa Ponca to El Arenal, and with various soulless outliers scattered up the eastern edge of the island. There are also much more traditional resort towns typified by the beautiful Puerto Pollenca on the north of the island and Soller to the west. The flights, the accommodation, the weather, the rock and even the bolts are already organised - the last little bit is up to you.
