More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"We quickly found that the author's instructions were clear and his routes excellent. Fuerteventura wasn't the moon with beaches but an island of beautiful valleys, stunning mountain passes and hidden chapels. We came to regard Noel Rochford, childishly but fondly, as Know-all, the old-fashioned and decent schoolteacher ever by our side. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that we grew to love him." (Ruth Picardy, in The Independent)"
Product Description
Fuerteventura is different from all the other islands in the Canaries. Being the closest to Africa, there's a definite taste of the Sahara about it. The countryside is lonely but warm, bleak but friendly and, in its own way, beautiful. Beaches are what Fuerteventura is all about; mile upon mile of untouched golden sand, great billowing white sand dunes, foaming surf, and quiet turquoise coves. Even though the landscape changes little, it's pleasant to tour Fuerteventura by car, since there's little traffic. This updated third edition is an ideal introduction to the island. There are also walks to suit all appetites - rambles across the hills, fairly easy mountain ascents, a seaside hike and, for explorers, rocky barrancos with hidden streams and palm groves. It includes a day-trip to nearby Lanzarote.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good guide,
By
This review is from: Fuerteventura: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) (Paperback)
We used this book for our recent trip to Fuerteventura, and found it very informative - tho, being a small guide and mainly for walking trips don't expect great detail, history etc.etc. that you may get in city guides.
However, for walks and driving tours, it was extremely useful, giving good detailed instructions and some small background details - and locations of petrol stations! We also used it for a trip to Lanzarote in the car, which worked out very well indeed, taking us to a great many sights and places of interest we may not have found on our own. This book had been recommended by users on the Fuerteventura forum website, and I can see why. A nice little guide to seeing the sights by car or by foot.

Excellent walking guide,
By
This review is from: Fuerteventura: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) (Paperback)
Based in Corralejo for the week, did 5 walks all convenient from town/using public buses and in case of excellent lobos island walk 1, local boat.
Walk 2 el Cotillo - only so-so as road now macadamed Walk 3 Lajares - brilliant walk 4 el cotillo - pleasant walk 5 hard going up with no path but v good walk 6 strenuous but well worth it. Walks all thus very accessible and relatively easy to follow. A quality (and very cheap) week's walking. Recommended

Another excellent guide in the Sunflower Landscapes series,
By
This review is from: Fuerteventura (Landscapes Countryside Guides) (Paperback)
Having been introduced to Noel Rochford's Sunflower Landscapes series of walking books on a trip to Corsica several years ago, we now look out for one of these whenever we go on holiday. This one, on Fuerteventura, lived up to our expectations as a useful, practical, accurate and enetertaining walking companion. We were based in Corralejo, so only sampled the walks in the northern half of the island. These included an enchanting day on the Island of Lobos (not to be missed) walks along the coast from El Cotillo and the Faro de Toston, and a walk up the impressive Caldero Hondo. Walks are all graded, so you can choose ones to suit your energy and fitness levels and the longer walks often have shorter variations.
