Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An excellent companion for walking in TenerifeThis book has plenty of choice of routes - short to long, easy to tough and everything in between. We certainly found our pre-conceptions of the island overturned after doing just one route. What a beautiful, wild, dramatic place Tenerife is. The walk descriptions are clear and entertaining and the maps are good and detailed.We would never have found these routes without the insider information of the authors, David & Ros Brawn. The book selects the best walking regions of Tenerife and if you have time, try something from each area. If there is one criticism it would be that there are no routes for the extreme north-east of the island (The Anaga region). I hope that future editions may put this right. Don't ... Read More: Rating: - This book is worth its weight in goldThere are so many excellent routes in this book that it is hard to know where to start. I had used Discovery Walking Guides books for Lanzarote, Menorca and Mallorca before so I expected a well researched, clearly written book with eye-opening routes that truly 'discover' Tenerife. We had 2 weeks and walked about every other day. We have already booked to go again in the autumn to try to 'bag' more of these routes. The descriptions are clear and we found the extra details like timings, ascents and descents etc. most useful. and we have just got into GPS - this is absolute magic used with the Brawn's waypoints and routes. Don't go to Tenerife without this book! Rating:  - Useful but disapointingThis book is a good start for planning from the comfort of your armchair, however the style is rather amateurish. I was very disapointed that the book does not cover Teide (Spains highest mountain) other than to say only masochists would want to go there. Tenerife is a very easy place to go walking in terms of information, maps, transport and guiding services, all very cheap locally. I do like to have an impression of a location in advance before I go on walking holiday there though - I would probably pick the Cicerone guide next time. Rating: - Great walking escapes in Tenerife34 Tenerife Walks saved my Spring break on Tenerife when we found our selves staying on a golf development; a "we choose your accommodation" cheapie package, it even had a good coastal escape route from the golf. Routes are well described giving the confidence to tackle the more adventurous routes later in the week. I thought I knew much of Tenerife's walking but this book includes a lot of routes which are not in Landscapes or Rother books. "Taucho Tour" is a must in the South, along with "Table Mountain" Roque del Conde, and another ten southern routes all good half day routes ranging from easy to quite demanding. In the West you just have to walk "True Grit" (add in Lasso La Hoya for a really energetic day), "Saddle Up" and "Picnic at Hanging ... Read More: Rating: - Great walking in TenerifeLos Organos, Arenas Negras, Adeje Skywalker, Conde, Saddle Up, there are just so many memorable walking routes in this book. Really detailed descriptions inspire confidence even for a first timer on Tenerife. I just wish I had more time to complete more of these beautiful routes. |
