Sunflower Countryside Guides Series

The go-to Tenerife travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Tenerife on foot with the Sunflower Tenerife 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 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:
* 80 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk
* Topographical walking maps - give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain with a scale of 1:50 000
* 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
* Strolls to idyllic picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way
* Timetables for public transport - ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday
* Online update service for the latest information
* Includes town plans of Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz
* Area covered: Based on Puerto de la Cruz, this book is the best choice for those staying in the north of Tenerife. For those who tour Tenerife by car, the drives range all over the island. Walks cover the Orotava Valley, Las Canadas, and the Teno and Anaga peninsulas. (For walks in the south of Tenerife, see Landscapes of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera.)
Whether you tour the islands by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.

Paxos

by Noel Rochford

Published 30 April 1996

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.
