2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, 10 Mar 2005
By Michael Starr (Bucknell, Shropshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Having seen some glowing reports of this guide, and having been impressed enough by a cursory inspection to buy it, I was somewhat disappointed with it in practice for three reasons. Firstly, the English translation of a German text was, frankly, meaningless in places. Where the walk was straightforward the description was generally sufficient, but where the walk required careful route finding we frequently got lost and spent considerable time looking for the way. Secondly, the inappropriate choice of landmarks and the paucity of detail given to some route descriptions led to confusion. Looking for "three pine trees" above "a large eucalyptus" on a forested hillside defeated us (walk 22), and we were occasionally left in doubt at some road junctions. This undoubtedly contributed to the slower walk times we achieved on some routes. Though not the fault of the writers, my last criticism is that this guide already appears to be out of date, since it does not mention any of the excellent signposts and other waymarks that now abound on La Palma. A revised edition that included these and tidied up the translation errors would, I feel, greatly improve the practicality of this guide. On the plus side it proved to be a very useful walk planner, with its good choice and variety of routes across the island, and in this respect I feel I got my money's worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Use with caution, 9 Oct 2002
By Michael Edenborough (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There are few guides to La Palma, and so one has to use what there is. However, this book is far from perfect and ought only to be used with caution. I had an English version, tranalated by Tony Pearson. The resultant text was often unclear. Whether this was due to the translation or failings in the orginal text, I do not know. The guide contains several errors of some seriousness. For example, the copyright notice is dated 2001, and yet in September 2002 when I was in La Palma, a major road bridge that was referred to in the text and shown on the principle map was still under construction. The description of some of the walks was also less than accurate. The book has some good material, but use it with care, in particular, with respect to the timings of the walks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Walking in La Palma, 10 Sep 2009

(REAL NAME)   
This book has some good walks but many are not suitable for those with vertigo or a lack of sure-footedness.
