Product Description

Product Description

Based on Puerto de la Cruz, this book features car tours all over the island and is the best choice for those staying in the north. The walks cover the Orotava Valley, Las Canadas, the Teno and Anaga peninsulas. (For walks in the south of Tenerife, see "Landscapes of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera"). This was the first walking guide for Tenerife, but in recent years the island has become the most popular of all the Canaries amongst walkers, and for good reason. Tenerife has something for everyone - country lanes for strolling, nature trails for hiking, and mountains to be scaled - including El Teide, the highest in all Spain. The profusion of wild plants and flowers makes the island a botanical treasure. 'Tenerife is one of the worlds most terrific locations for a walking holiday, and with this book you are sure to get the most of it. The book is well written, has nice pictures, and the descriptions of the walks are clear with lots of detail. Bus tables and route informations are included, so you will be in no doubt how to get to/from your desired walking locations. It even has rather good maps. Another plus: The publisher has an update service. In addition the book has information about car tours and good picnic spots.' (A reader)

3.0 out of 5 stars Top Traveller's Info, 21 April 2009
Been using Landscapes books since 1995. Used the Canaries, Madeira, Spain, Italy plus and would rate them all at 5 stars. Gives me all the info I need in one handy volume. Lets me get out of the resorts and out to see a bit of the countryside. Places that you would normally get to. This one is the only exception walks quite long and bigger than average height gains generally. Bias toward one way walks which don't suit when you have hired a car.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable historical, botanical and cultural background information, 26 Jul 2009
Includes both well-known "must do" walks and lesser known routes. Information on walks includes distance, any vertiginous or very strenuous sections and the amount of ascent and descent involved. Maps all have altitude lines and any vertiginous parts are clearly marked. For each walk alternatives are offered that are shorter, avoid difficult parts of the route or offer circular versions of walks that are one-way. Accounts are peppered with information on natural history (with Spanish and botanical names provided and some drawings of the more common but typical flora). Route instructions are detailed and comprehensive - if you do find yourself taking a wrong turn, you will soon realise your mistake through further reading. Although the information on how to get to the start of the walks is aimed at bus passengers, we managed to find the starting points (by car) easily and parking was never a problem. Interestingly, many of the walkers we met (of various nationalities) also used the sunflower guide, perhaps indicating that it is the most practical and definitive guide available, partly due to its handy size. My only criticism would be that the walks around Las Canadas could have included more geological background information. The other guides that we used e.g. for the Pyrenees, Picos de Europa, La Palma & El Hierro and Andalucia, were similarly practical and informative.

4.0 out of 5 stars mostly full of great walks, 1 Jun 2009
By M. Johnson (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having been smitten by the smaller nearby island of La Gomera, it didn't take much to convince me to visit its big brother of Tenerife. And once you get out of the tourist resorts the variety of landscapes available to walk through is stunning. It is amazing to be walking through pines and freezing mist one minute and blazing sunshine and cacti the next.

I moved base twice during my visit and so was able to try out some of the described walks in the Anaga peninsula, the Orotava valley and around El Teide and in general I was very happy with them. On the minus side, one of the walks was more than a little dull for the first half where we were walking along a dirt track with little visibility, for far too long, and it felt like we were only doing it to get to the second part of the walk (which was good). But that was the only negative from an otherwise excellent guide.
