Book excerpt: Life in rural Mallorca continues to hold its magic for Anna and her family.When not juggling work deadlines, chatting with Johnny the toad or managing her ever-growing menagerie, Anna sets off to explore the lesser-known areas of the island.On her cultural and historic voyage of discovery she visits fig, olive and snail farms, a textile mill and a sobrasada sausage factory, and learns of Mallorca's rich literary legacy. While marathon training in the picturesque Tramuntana mountains, she is spooked when delving into the myths and Moorish legends that still seem to haunt the surrounding hills.

And she even finds time to hike the Camino de Santiago along the way...
