Die landschaftliche Vielfalt der Insel wird eindrucksvoll eingefangen und weckt die Sehnsucht nach Sonne und Meer. Polizas Bilder bieten einen frischen Blick auf die Lieblingsinsel der Deutschen und zeigen die Verheißungen eines der beliebtesten Reiseziele. Als erfolgreicher Naturfotograf hat Poliza zahlreiche Bestseller veröffentlicht und sein Gespür für besondere Locations als Veranstalter exklusiver Natur-Erlebnisreisen weiter geschärft. In diesem Werk wählt er einen Ort von atemberaubender Schönheit, der zugleich voller Überraschungen steckt. Mallorca präsentiert sich ähnlich wie Tapas: Man kann verschiedene Facetten entdecken, ohne sich für eine zu entscheiden. Die Insel vereint alte und moderne Architektur, belebte Strände und einsame Buchten sowie das pulsierende Palma und malerische Bergdörfer. Poliza zeichnet ein persönliches Bild von Mallorca und seinen faszinierendsten Orten, darunter die Salzhügel von Es Trenc, Cala sa Nau und den Leuchtturm von Cap Formentor. So erfüllt er die Verheißung eines unvergesslichen Erlebnisses. Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch.
