Product Description

Product Description
Pocket sized, full colour guide describing car tours, walks and countryside picnics, all illustrated with photographs and large scale (1:50,000). Dubbed the 'Blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times, the Sunflower Landscapes series aims to get visitors away from the crowded tourist centres and out into the countryside, by car or on foot. On line update service for alll the latest information. The Picos de Europa, one of Europe's last mountain wilderness areas, are the high point of a long ridge of mountains which runs along the north coast of Spain, the Cordillera Cantabrica. Ranging in altitude from 150m to 2648m (about 500-8700ft), the Picos are divided into three spectacular limestone massifs separated from one another, and from the surrounding ranges, by precipitous gorges - a truly spectacular area in which to walk or tour. This guide contains a wealth of information about the dazzling array of plant and animal life you can expect to see when exploring the range. The author, an all-round naturalist and corresponsent for BBC Wildlife, has also contributed to "Spain - the Rough Guide". Tereda Farino has been living in the Picos de Europa for over twenty years. 'We have walked and climbed in the Rockies and the Himalaya, but the Picos are unique, and we are so glad that we went. Your book contained so much information, together with the beautiful pictures and the very useful maps, that we felt we were really getting under the skin of this part of Spain. (M.H., Glos.). Your walks took us through flower meadows awash with fragrance, buzzing with insect life and clouds of butterflies, through sleepy villages lined eith cherry trees so heavily laden that fruit fell to the ground untouched, and up through steep mountain gorges with goats and donkeys for company. Thank you so much. (S.P., Harrogate).

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without this, 13 April 2009
By Mrs. Angela Lodge (KeKnt, KEngland.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Picos de Europa are not all that well known, and many of the guides available are intended for more serious walkers. The Sunflower series has another triumph here. Walks are pitched just right for average walkers to enjoy. The Cares Gorge is a "must", and Bulnes is made easier by going up in the funicular, then walking down. The mapping is most useful as it's not easy to buy maps of the area with hiking trails marked.Car tours, picnic suggestions and short walks all add to the enjoyment. The Picos is not the easiest of destinations to get to, but this little book will make you glad you made the effort!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple directions, lovely walks, 24 Mar 2009
By John Guy (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My duaghter and I used the Sunflower Picos de Europa Guide Picos de Europa: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes)to spend a weekend walking in the area. We did three walks, one the classic Cares gorge, two others more offbeat. All three had simple and clear directions and just enough information about what you were seeing and where you were going. When I got home I bought guides from the same series for all our next walking trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Picos Revealed, 10 Feb 2009
By Bronson Tony (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
Picos de Europa: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes)This is an ideal introduction to the Picos mountains. It gives an insight into the area, its flora and fauna and provides some really interesting walks and motoring tours and is excellent value for money. It also provides recommendations for short walks when out and about in the car, picnic spots and, if you want to give it a go, where to swim in mountain streams. We thought we had got to know the Picos, but this book opened our eyes to even more beauty in the landscape.
