My recent trip to Mallorca exposed me to some Spanish beer I for some reason was not already familiar with. And that was the very tasty Estrella Galicia. It has my warm recommendations, so if you are in the neighborhood…

My Mallorca page has been updated with four new walks (walks 15-18), concentrating on Mallorca West and Palma. For this I used “Walk! Mallorca West” by Charles Davis (see above) and “Walk & Eat Mallorca” by Valerie Crespí-Green (see a few posts further down).

For some new photos from Mallorca, see http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/92.

A new walking destination for me this year is Turkey. Companions for my walks will be the first two books in this series.

In addition to the new edition of their regular Madeira Landscapes guide John and Pat Underwood have also published a new (3rd ed.) Walk & Eat Madeira. As for all books mentioned in this blog from now on, you can buy it directly from Amazon (or similar) by clicking the book cover (if at all available online).

Among the culture elite, this CD is probably one the most awaited in Norway this year. 😉

Expected in May.

This is the official program on islandwalking.com for 2012:

• Greek Islands: Kastellorizo
• Spanish Islands: Mallorca
• Turkey:
  • Antalya
  • Kaş

I was made aware of these walking guides for parts of western Crete. Check them out! See the authors web site at http://www.discoveronfoot.com, where you can get more information and buy them online.

Here is also the latest edition of Sunflower’s Walk & Eat Mallorca. Already in its 3rd edition. I believe I have to check this and the one in the previous blog entry out some time in the not so distant future…

I believe I have never mentioned the latest edition of Sunflower’s Mallorca guide. We are up to the 7th edition here now.
