This review is from: The Rough Guide to Mallorca and Menorca 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

This was a great guidebook, with lots of background information on the islands as well as attractions, restaurants, etc. We used it for Mallorca and I thought it was very thorough and enjoyed it greatly. Useful maps and a great listing of local markets by day of the week.

3.0 out of 5 stars not enough but probably the best, August 29, 2008

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Mallorca and Menorca 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I find some lack of practical information (like transportation schedules, costs of restaurants and places to sleep) and of extra-urban sights (like beachs). I believe the "lonely planet" model is best suited to this subjects which i think are not enough described. unfortunately this editor dont have this destination and since that this one is probably (from my research) the best.
