Sunflower Landscapes of Menorca
by Rodney Ansell

From the Sunflower Landscapes Guides series.

Those who enjoyed using the earlier editions of this guide found the next edition was even better, with superb new maps and many new colour photographs. Upgraded walking routes avoided problem spots that arose in the past because of landowners who have objected to walkers crossing their land (even though the routes have always used public rights-of-way). This further updated edition will delight Menorca's many enthusiasts.

Menorca is a peaceful island, free from most of the excesses of its neighbouring Balearic islands. Walks take you to some beautiful scenery, both inland and along the truly idyllic coastline. Rodney Ansell, the author, also tells you how to find the amazing prehistoric monuments to be found scattered all over the island. These (the one illustrated on the cover is just one example of scores of them) will fascinate anyone with the imagination to conjure up visions of the ancient history of Menorca.

Best months for walking: Menorca is the wettest of the Balearic islands, though July and August can normally be relied upon for lots of sun and heat (and for this reason are not ideal for walking). So choose April, May, June, September or October (when it will still be warm enough for most people) and take something showerproof for the occasional wet day.

Where to Stay: If you are going to be relying on public transport, aim to stay in or near Mahón or Ciutadella so as to have easy access to the buses. But if you plan to hire a car, on this relatively small island, you will be able to reach most of the walks from any of the main resorts.

2 car tours, 45 long and short walks, 18 picnic suggestions
