Synopsis

If you are one of the many people who think that Mallorca's spectacular scenery is reserved for the north of the island, then our Mallorca West Walking Guide is about to change your ideas as we discover the Costa Calvia and the mountains west of Andraitx. With the much improved local bus services we can easily reach all of our walking routes from any resort between Palma and San Telm. Two pieces of good news for visitors to this region of Mallorca; firstly it is not as seasonal as other regions in the Balearics, with many hotels open during the 'off-season' between October and April; and secondly Magalluf is being cleaned up with the demolition of 'cheap' accommodation (although this has removed the Hotel Atlantic landmark from Walk 1!). If you associate this area with crass volume tourism; well, you can still find it but you will be very surprised by the stylish tipicos to be found on the Costa Calvia, where 'crewed gin-palace yachts' cruise down from Palma's marina for lunch. Our walking varies from a gentle stroll finishing in the stylish marina at Puerto Portals, to quite energetic on the "Great Western" where spectacular scenery rewards the effort involved. With every walk finishing at a memorable 'refreshment stop' this guide contains everything you need to combine with a 'good value package' for a very enjoyable off-season holiday.
