La Palma
This Rother Walking Guide to La Palma presents the hiker with a wide variety of entertaining tour suggestions incorporating every region on the island – the guide includes 112 colour photos and colour hiking maps at 1:50.000 or 1:100,000 scale, and an overview map for general planning at 1:250,000. From physically demanding excursions to the wildest Barrancos in the North to the romanticism of a sunset on top of 2000 meter high mountains not to mention the truly phenomenal volcano route – leisurely hiking tours leading to fluorescent green pine forests, dark lavastreams and to a hiking destination that could quite possibly be considered the most spectacular of all: the Caldera de Taburiente, one of the largest erosion craters in the world, an immense primeval landscape shielded by 1000 meter high cliff faces.About this series:Rother Walking Guides were first published in 1920- since then Bergverlag Rother have continued to produce these comprehensive guides to ‘the finest valley and mountain walks”.Each book has a detailed description of walks, small walking maps and many tips on combining the walks, places of interest, accommodation and public transport; the guides are all in full colour with varying scales and types of cartography – the walks themselves vary from day-long hikes to mountain and valley walks, with varying levels of ease and difficulty indicated.Small enough to fit in your pocket, comprehensive enough to take you everywhere; the books are printed in paperback but with a polytex-laminated cover, making them extremely durable too.
