Labelled as a hot holiday destination throughout the year, Majorca cools down in the Autumn, with peak holidaymakers heading for home and temperatures pleasantly panning out to the mid 20s, making it an ideal time to more tranquilly explore the island on foot, yet still with the promise of a warm ocean dip at the end of the day. 

Making the best of the island's sunny disposition, Ramblers Walking Holidays (01707 331133, www.ramblersholidays.co.uk) the original walking holiday specialists, offer the choice of two autumnal week long breaks taking in some of the island's top coastal and inland trails.

Based in the lagoon port of Puerto de Soller and in the south-west seaside settlement of San Telmo, these seven night holidays have also been cleverly designed to be combined for a longer two week break.
