Lanzarote and Fuerteventura – 45 Walks Including Isla La Graciosa

Accomplished and renowned walker Paddy Dillon’™s Cicerone guide to Walking in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura is the complete guide to walking one of Europe’™s most popular island destinations. The seven Canary Islands seem to bask in everlasting sunshine and have been referred to as the Fortune Islands. Away from the bustling resort, walkers can discover exceptionally rugged volcanic mountains, dense forests, scrubby semi-deserts and splendid cliff coastlines. Most of the landscapes and routes around the island are protected, including national parks, rural parks, nature reserves and sites of specific scientific interest. Walkers with an interest in flowers will find an extensive array of endemic species. The guide is organized by island, taking in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Graciosa and revealing walking routes covering over 1000 miles in total. The routes take in a wide variety of landscapes from the coast to the highest mountain; most of the walks are also accessible from local transport, making it easier to pre-plan individual daily walks or more extended trips. An extensive introduction provides information on history, landscape, language, island trees and flowers and tips on getting to the Islands and travelling around. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour line drawings mapping the route ahead as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the region.
