Format:Paperback
Having just spent a week on Tenerife using this book for our walks, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The walks are clearly described, giving walking times and height climbed for each walk. The walks are varied and range from easy (blue) to difficult (black). There are walks on all parts of the island, from the forests in the north-east to the barren Calderas in the centre of the island, including the ascent of Teide. Just one thing, when Klaus says "Only for the adventurous walker", that is what he means. Some of the paths are fairly steep and scrambling is required.

This great little red book seems to be the book of choice for hiking on Tenerife. The half dozen people we chatted to on our hikes last week all had a copy (though some had the German 2007 version). The book provides a lot of variety, in terms of easy/short to challenging/hard. The author is a bit of a power walker and his times are accurate for quite fit walkers. The only caveats are that occasionally things are a bit lost in translation (the German version is the original), which just requires you to pause for a moment and re-read the instructions. Also, as with any book, things change. So, the cairn or sign marking where to turn right may have been prominent in 2001 but may be gone now. Again, this added a few minutes to our journey but it was soon obvious and easy to retrace our steps. Incidentally, walk 24 now requires you to book in advance (unless you're lucky) and pay 2 Euros. Walk 49 (Teide) requires a (free) permit (for the final ascent to the summit), which you can get via email 7 days in advance. The hikes cover a lot of the island and as the weather can be 'four seasons in one day', depending on where you are, that's great for making spontaneous decisions on the day about where to hike. Oh, and if I had a pound for each time the author uses phrases like 'wildly romantic' or 'serpentine path'... :-). Buy it, use it lots and have a great holiday - I'd love to have spent another week there hiking.

This book has beautiful walks on the island. We only used this book and did not have any other maps. However, we never got lost. This version seems to be different from the German version. The German one has walks in it which seem to be split into two walks in the English version. The walks are varied and make you discover stunning scenery.
