About this title

Review

Just back from La Gomera. What a place! It is like stepping into another world, and for walkers, it is magical. The terrain is wild and challenging, but rewarding. We did 6 of the walks in this excellent book - all we had time for - but we are already booking to go again. If you are into walking, mountains, wild flowers, excellent value local cuisine and unspoilt surroundings, you HAVE to go. And you should take this well-written book. Clear descriptions and plenty of useful details plus advice on where to stay, eat etc. I liked the GPS waypoint information too - La Gomera is not a place to get lost in, so this is especially valuable. We also used the La Gomera Tour & Trail Map from the same publishers - accurate and made of some clever, waterproof, tearproof stuff. Amazon Reader Review
