The weather

One of the great advantages of walking in the Balearics is the climate. With around 300 days of sunshine a year, Menorca, Mallorca and the Costa Brava offer wonderful conditions for walking, particularly in spring and autumn, when the temperatures are warm, the skies are bright and the countryside is at its best.

Winters are generally mild too, often warm enough for walking in short sleeves by late morning. July, August and early September are usually too hot for comfortable walking, which is why our holidays are timed for the more enjoyable months.

Mallorca tends to be slightly warmer than Menorca and the Costa Brava, but all enjoy a reliable Mediterranean climate, with typical temperatures ranging from around 13–28°C (55–82°F) throughout the year.

In other words, plenty of sunshine, comfortable temperatures and ideal conditions for walking.
