Carthaginians and Romans, Vandals, Moors, and Catalans succumbed to its charms and have left their traces between high mountains and salt wildernesses, steep cliffs, and rocky bays. This volume ambles through the history and fortunes of a mini~paradise, pauses to gaze at almond trees and windmills, olive groves and shepherds, vineyards and flower meadows, lingers in secluded villages and sublime towns, and seeks the heart of the island.
