Guidebook to 45 day walks and treks ranging from 4 to 32km in length on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. The routes described are made up of 40 one-day walks, with four routes covering El Teide, plus the GR131 is described as a five-day long-distance walk from Arona to La Esperanza. This route can of course be followed as a series of linear day-walks broken at intervals. The walks range from easy strolls to hands on scrambling; from simple day walks to a 32km (20-mile), rugged 'Three Peaks of Tenerife' route, climbing Guajara, Pico Viejo and finally El Teide, Spain's highest mountain. Detailed route descriptions are illustrated with the author's own clear contour mapping and colour photographs. The guide is split into seven sections - Anaga, Teno, Arona/Guia, Valle de la Orotava, Parque Nacional and El Teide - covering all the best walking to be had on the island. Walks also explore the Parque Nacional del Teide, Las Canadas and Corona Forestal.
