    When is the best time for a walking holiday in Majorca?

    Spring and autumn are generally among the best seasons for walking in Majorca because temperatures are often more comfortable for spending long periods outdoors. April, May, September and October can be particularly attractive, although conditions vary. Summer can be very warm, so strenuous hikes are best planned carefully around the heat.
