Aspects and character of daily life on the island of Majorca.
In the popular imagination, Mallorca is the archetypal mass tourism resort, one of the world's pioneers of mass tourism, linking the resources of the Mediterranean to the supply of tourists from northern and western Europe. It is now attempting to better manage the ubiquitous transformational environmental and socio-economic impact of the industry. The book identifies and examines critically the major socio-economic and political forces that have played a significant part in the formation of the industry; the development of tourism as a business and efforts to diversify the tourism product as it move into the uncertainties of the 21st century.
The wonderful rock and mountains of Mallorca are now well known to most climbers and the island has established itself as a favourite winter-sun destination. There is an incredible variety of climbing available, from the huge walls of Sa Gubia to the 30m pumping-tufas of Fraguel.
