Format:Paperback
A useful guide, particularly if you like to combine some pleasant walks with food and/or/drink. It's pocket-sized so easy to carry with you, and is well-written with plenty of nice photographs.
All the walks have all been selected with a view to visiting one or more restaurants/bars en route - with an idea of how long it takes to get to them and what to expect from the menu etc., so it's probably most useful for 1st time visitors to the Island, and people, like myself, who like to visit the more
out-of-town restaurants & bars.
For me it was a little too focused on the food & drink element, and not quite enough on the walks, so I consider it a useful addition rather than a must-have guide - so if hiking is your plan I suggest you consider this alongside other books that have a greater emphasis on the walks themselves, and carry a wider selection of alternatives.

I think some of the preceding reviews are for the Landscapes guide by the same authors. This book has some of the same walks, but is illustrated - and therefore more attractive - and has restaurant and food recommendations. It is a book that you can build your holiday around, although doing a large number of the walks is best accomplished through a two or three centre stay. We did this and it definitely made our stay very enjoyable - plus saved us a lot of money by not taking the guided walks we were originally contemplating. One point with this and others in the Walk and Eat series is that you have to choose your accommodation carefully to have easy access to bus routes - near the centre of Funchal being best, but the beach area to the west also being reasonable as the Rodoeste buses to the west of the island stop there.

This book looks the business for those casual walkers who simply want to enjoy a decent stroll. Maybe I should have waited until it was fully road tested, but I'll probably forget. The only comment I would make at the moment is that it slightly undersells itself. It seems to be so much more than walking and eating (both excellent holiday activities of course) and as much a guide book as any other I've seen. Great pocket size, and not buying a new copy I'm not going to be precious about it while out walking.
