Bibliotekernes beskrivelse

Walking guide to La Gomera and El Hierro, in the Canaries, with day walks and long-distance trails including Camino de La Virgen, GR132 around La Gomera and part of GR131 which runs right across the Canary Islands. This is the second book in a comprehensive new five-part series covering all the islands. Routes in Garajonay National Park and from San Sebastien and Valverde. The two smallest of the Canary Islands are no less rugged than their volcanic neighbours, offering a wide variety of little-known walking terrain from steep-sided barrancos and dramatic cliffs to the gentler slopes inland cloaked in laurasilva and pine forests. The waymarked trails described in this new guide include easy strolls and hands-on scrambles, mountain treks and coastal walks. 45 routes are described over both islands with clear contour mapping, inspirational photography and full practical and background information on both islands.
