A pocket-sized full-colour guide designed for short-break holidays on Madeira with a gastronomic touch. Even non-walkers will appreciate the restaurant suggestions, excursions and information about local food. The book describes 2 excursions (including how to tour the island inexpensively by bus), plus 13 easy to moderate walks, all illustrated with 1:35,000 topo maps. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en route serving local cuisine, with photograph, price guide, opening times, sample menus, and recipes for some of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, getting about, food shopping (including health foods and local markets), glossary of food terms and restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. On-line updates keep readers abreast of any route or restaurant changes. "Sunflower have led the field for years with their brilliant Landscapes walking and car touring guides. Now, they have raised their game even higher with a superb new Walk & Eat series."
