The Sunflower Tenerife guide is indispensable for hiking in Tenerife or seeing Tenerife by car. This was the first ever guide for walking in Tenerife, but in recent years the island has become the most popular of all the Canaries among 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.
Whether you tour Tenerife by car or discover them on foot, Noel introduces you to the islands' best beauty spots.
Inside the Sunflower Tenerife guide book you'll find:

* Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techies
* Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists
* 5 car tours and fold-out touring map - for easy reference on your tour

Gomera and Tenerife are just a 35-minute ferry ride apart: this guide offers walks and tours on both. There are car tours (with picnic suggestions) all over both islands, with pull-out touring maps and plans for the larger connurbations. Walks cover all of Gomera, but only the south of Tenerife (a companion volume, 'Landscapes of Tenerife - Orotava, Canadas, Teno, Anaga' covers the rest of the island, and those going to Tenerife for a long walking holiday, who will be based in the south, should ideally have both books.) Area covered: The book is divided into two parts. The major emphasis is on exploring the whole of La Gomera by car or on foot. But the Tenerife section of the book is also packed with suggestions: there are tours (from Playa de las Americas/Los Cristianos) covering the whole of Tenerife by car, as well as the best walking in Tenerife's south. All the walks and tours in both books were re-walked and re-driven for the 2014 edition and have been revised again where necessary prior to publication of this edition.
This popular series of pocket guides is designed to take visitors away from the tourist centres and out into the countryside, exploring by private or public transport, or on foot. All books are divided into three sections: car tours (with a full colour pull-out touring map), picnics and walks for all ages and abilities. Each book contains up-to-date timetables for public transport and is illustrated in colour with maps at a scale of 1:50,000. La Palma, considered by many to be the most beautiful island in the Canaries, is now accessible by charter flights and is becoming an increasingly popular winter destination.
The go-to Lanzarote travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Lanzarote on foot with the Sunflower Lanzarote travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.
The Sunflower Lanzarote guide is indispensable for hiking in Lanzarote or seeing Lanzarote by car. Fascinating Lanzarote is truly extraordinary. Its fate was decided some two and one-half centuries ago, when the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and alluring countryside in its wake - a landscape littered with volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava.
This is the backdrop to nearly every scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound - none more so than the 'Fire Mountains'.
As for hiking in Lanzarote, there is no better place in the Canaries for just strolling; trekkers will be in their element here. Each of the walks in this book takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a scenically different outlook. But if walking is not your favourite pastime, then do explore Lanzarote by car.

In natural beauty, La Palma rivals all the other Canary Islands put together. Its immense, abyss-like crater, the Caldera de Taburiente, is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world. Deep within its pine-speckled, towering walls is a year-round abundance of gushing streams, boisterous cascades, and a plummeting waterfall. Outside the crater, high on the cloud-catching hillsides, 20 million-year-old laurel forests grow as dense as a jungle. In the southern half of the island, hills pitted with volcanic craters and mini-deserts of black lapilli speak of the island's volcanic past. This stark, striking landscape, all the more dramatic for its stabs of volcanic reds, oranges, and yellows, is far removed from the lush and verdant, tree-clad north. El Hierro, the least-visited of all the Canaries, at first appears to be a dried-up, sprawling mountain of rock, rising straight from the sea, treeless and barren. But Noel reveals the island's hidden charms - as remarkable as any in the archipelago. Whether you tour La Palma or El Hierro by car or discover them on foot, Noel introduces you to the islands' best beauty spots.For La Palma: 3 car tours (with accompanying touring map), 38 long and short walks (illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps showing the official trail numbers), 22 picnic suggestions.
For El Hierro: 1 car tour (with accompanying touring map), 12 long and short walks (each with 1:50,000 topo map), 8 picnic suggestions. Plans of Santa Cruz de la Palma and Valverde (El Hierro). Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily. The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.

The moment you step foot on this island you can feel that your stay here is going to be both peaceful and restful. The sleepy fishing villages and the timeless countryside will cast their spell upon you. This is the ideal 'get away from it all' destination - where everyone strolls through olive groves and along the coast. Paxos, just 19 sq km of cosy countryside, is little more than a broken fragment of hills sitting anchored off the southern end of Corfu. The hills of Paxos are cloaked in a cool mantle of olive trees. Dark groves of cypresses pierce this silvery-green mantle. In the shade of these wooded hills lie sprinklings of rustic hamlets. But the real beauty of Paxos is the dazzling necklace of turquoise green coves that collar the eastern coastline. It is an essential guide for those who wish to explore the island.
