Product Description

Product Description

Walk! La Palma includes 34 fully detailed walking route itineraries. Each walking route itinerary includes:- - walking route summary - ratings for Effort, Time, Distance, Ascents/Descents, Refreshments and Vertigo risk - fully detailed walk description, including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress - GPS Waypoints at every key point on every route where there is good gps reception - full colour 1:40,000 scale map of the route - short walk and stroll alternatives There are some easy routes. There are some challenging routes for fit experts. With Charles Davis' excellent walk descriptions you'll know which routes are for you - and all of them are a true adventure. The steepest island in the world, the deepest crater, the clearest skies: volcanoes you can climb without being shot into orbit; a subtropical forest minus the slimy things slinking up your trouser leg; black beaches, blue seas, high mountains, vegetation that is literally flamboyant, everything linked by 1080 kilometres of waymarked paths; and all virtually untouched by tourism. If this sounds divine or like some lost paradise, you're not the first to think so, previous commentators have identified La Palma as the prototype for both the Elysian Fields and Atlantis! The fanciful stuff aside, the island is a walker's idyll, utterly tranquil, verdant and almost unspoiled. Full GPS Track and Waypoint files for Walk! La Palma are included on the Personal Navigator Files CD published by Discovery Walking Guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars one marvellous island, 5 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Breathtaking, spectacular etc, you soon run out of superlatives so long as the weather is good on La Palma. We chose Walk La Palma and the Tour & Trail Map because they are the most recently published without realising how important it is to be up to date. The island has been extensively wayposted, not always as helpful as it seems, and it is vital that your guidebook includes these navigation markers. Two wet days put the map to its driving test, it passed with flying colours.
My only comment is that the Mirador del Time route, quite the shortest in the book, should be walked the other way round; park at the bottom, climb up for refreshments on the terrace of the super-kitch cafe with panoramic views, and then down that amazing donkey trail back to your car. Otherwise splendid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walker's paradise, 24 Aug 2007
La Palma is a walker's paradise and we've been going there off an on for several years. Trouble was, it's so little known that there was no decent walking guidebook to the island. We were pleased therefore to find this book in the excellent Discover Walking Guides series, which we've also used in Mallorca and Andalusia. The Mallorcan and Andalusian books are by the same author, so we knew the guide would be good, but we didn't expect to find quite so many walks we had never heard of before. An excellent introduction to the island, but worth buying even for people already familiar with the place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go before the crowds find it, 20 Aug 2007
By Roger (South of France) - See all my reviews
La Palma is an extraordinary place and this book takes you into places you might not find otherwise. It's well written and clearly presented. Some of the walks weren't to my taste (too tame) and some wheren't to my wife's taste (too wild), so I guess the author's got the balance about right! Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting a little outdated
Just come back from La Palma - great place and great holiday. Buy the book as a guide to the island if nothing else. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Discovered new places
Bought this before holidaying in La Palma for the 5th time in December 2008. Very useful. Discovered new walks we wouldn't have known about otherwise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK
Would agree with the last review, about over elaboration. Many of the walks follow clear and waymarked paths that you are unlikely to get lost on. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Practical experience of a handful of walks from this book is that it is OK for classic standard walks on the island, except the author gives a lot of confusing unnecessary detail... Read more
