Book description
This new guide to day walks and long-distance routes on Tenerife in the
Canary Islands includes routes in the Parque Nacional del Teide, Las
Cañadas, Corona Forestal, Teno and an ascent of El Teide itself, Spain's
highest mountain. 45 routes for wide range of abilities are described
right across this popular winter sun destination, some along the
long-distance GR131 which links all the Canaries. The guide is split
into seven sections - Anaga, Teno, Arona/Guía, Valle de la Orotava,
Parque Nacional and El Teide - covering all the best walking to be had
on the island: from easy strolls to hands-on scrambling; from simple day
walks to a 20-mile, rugged ?Three Peaks of Tenerife' route, tackling
Guajara, Pico Viejo and finally El Teide. Detailed route descriptions
are illustrated with the author's own clear contour mapping and colour
photographs. This guide is the third in a five-part series of guides to
the walking on the Canary Islands. Paddy Dillon is a prolific walker
