Go hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana and explore hilltop castles in Cabrera. From Palma's hipster hangouts to Sóller's old-stone fincas, Mallorca embraces both ends of the spectrum. Tuck into ensaimadas in quiet mountain villages, stroll along golden beaches, or drink with the locals in lively bars. Then there's Menorca, brimming with unique prehistoric history, dotted with pristine coves and tiled with labyrinths of ancient lanes. Covering everything from horseshoe-shaped bays to Gothic architecture, this fully updated Rough Guide covers all you need to know.

by The Raven Brothers
Out of shape and unprepared, The Raven Brothers return to the road in a collection of ten quests to travel to their dream destinations against all odds! After two decades pioneering new routes across the globe, you would expect the authors of 'Driving the Trans-Siberian' to be hotshot explorers, with a sixth sense and an ability to survive in almost any situation. Think again! With virtually zero knowledge of the workings of the internal combustion engine and very limited skills of wilderness survival, Simon and Chris struggle into their hiking boots and power across three continents by river, tarmac and trail.
Venture to the top of Norway, cruise the road to Damascus, hike the Camino trail into Spain’s Wild West, row the Ganges, explore Frida Kahlo’s world in Mexico City, hangout with the dead in Sicily’s eerie catacombs, crawl deep inside Bolivia’s notorious silver mine, seek lions in Gujarat, wellness in Berlin and journey into the Naga Hills where tribal kings still rule.
Noted by Lonely Planet for their talent to portray an “accurate view of what to expect”, 'Hike, Drive, Stayin’ Alive!' signals a return to the duo writing “buttock clenching” travel comedy with the first in a series of candid stories of adventure by The Raven Brothers.
