Delius Klasing Die Balearen

Each of the Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean – be it Mallorca, Cabrera, Menorca, Ibiza, or even Formentera – has its own unique character. Mallorca, Europe's number one holiday destination, has many faces: Away from the tourist centers, the island offers the most beautiful landscapes, idyllic bathing bays, dreamy anchorages, and picturesque fishing ports. The capital, Palma, is a hub for water sports. The protected area of ​​the Cabrera archipelago can also be visited. Those who prefer sporty sailing will find what they are looking for on Menorca, the "Wind Island." Ibiza and Formentera are full of contrasts. One is the extravagant one, the other the modest one, more for individualists, but both have endless sandy beaches.

To help you get to know these islands between the Iberian Peninsula and the African continent better, the author provides numerous references to the sights on land, testaments to a diverse mix of cultures, eras, and languages. This popular nautical guide has been updated by the experienced, locally based author Bernhard Bartholmes. All changes have been meticulously recorded, texts and maps have been completely revised, and additional harbor plans have been added. The new edition now features even more marinas and many new photos, making it an up-to-date and competent companion for an eventful cruise around the Balearic Islands.
