Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Useful but with reservations.I agree to a large extent with the previous reviewer, this is a useful but far from flawless guide. On the positive side, it is well written and easy to follow with good maps and points of interest mentioned along the way. On the negative side, there are far too many short walks and some that in my opinion barely qualify as a walk. Often, an obvious longer route is 'chopped up' into two or three sections and described as a number of shorter walks. I also agree with the previous comment regarding the mapping. It would be really useful to include the paths that coincide with the described routes so that those wanting a longer trip could extend the route to suit. Another thing that I found annoying is the number of inaccurate place ... Read More: Rating:  - Excellent guide book for walkersThis excellent book really made our holiday. There are plenty of walks or varying types, lengths etc. and the style is easy going yet accurate. I like the maps which are really clear and better than anything else I have seen for walking on Tenerife. This book took us in several adventures to parts of the island which we would never had found without it. We already had books and maps from this publisher for Madeira and Mallorca and were pleased to find that the same high standards of research and information applied to the Tenerife book. Highly recommended! Rating: - outstanding range of routes and all accurateI'm just back from 3 weeks on Tenerife, walking most days with Walk Tenerife and the Hiking Map. Walk Tenerife offers a wide range of walking routes covering the main walking regions of the island including the Anaga. Having hiked a couple of coastal routes; Barren Grandeur and Life in the Raw including refeshments at Pepe Y Lola bar in El Puertito, some mid range; Taucho Tour, Fantasia, Queen of the South, and Table Mountain, a couple in the west; True Grit and Saddle Up with its spectacular peaktop viewing point, plus Mighty Guajara, Fortelleza, Rocks de Garcia and both Pasaje Lunar routes do add in the Agua Agria pista option on the western route (its not in any other book), plus Cruz del Carmen Circular and Chamorga Circular spectacular ... Read More: Rating:  - Not for keen hikersI bought the 'Walk! Tenerife' guide to provide me with ideas and way-descriptions of walks in Tenerife, where I spent the first week in January. I found the guide picked a few nice walks, and most walks I did according to the book I enjoyed. What I then found is that 1. Many of the walks, especially in the Teide area, are the ones that are marked by the national park authorities anyway, so can be done with a leaflet that you pick up at the Info places. 2. A lot of the walks are concentrated in the same area and are even overlapping (e.g. Tamaimo area), so in truth you do not get 43 seperate walks, but rather variations. 3. There is quite a few excellent walking opportunities, paths that are marked on the map (it belongs with the guide) ... Read More: |
