Southern Tenerife and La Gomera is the Sunflower Landscapes guide to exploring the best walking and touring possibilities in the region. The guide covers a range of routes including walks in Montana Guaza, Masca, Arure, Degollada de Peraza and Vallehermoso. A double-sided, fold-out touring map at the back of the book gives an overview of Tenerife and La Gomera, a street outline of San Sebastian and the locations of each walk. Detailed information about touring by hired car or public transport, as well as on foot, is provided, helping walkers to navigate and plan day-trips. Shorter strolls are also included as an alternative for each main route for those seeking more leisurely days out.

The guide is structured in two main parts – Touring and Walking – that explore each route with detailed references to public transport and car directions to make each walk more accessible. 12 Car-touring routes are included, covering areas such as a Circuit from Sorrento, Santa Maria del Castello and Monte Faito, Monte Pertuso and Nocelle, the Agerola Plain, Pogerola, Pontone and Tramonti. Each describes a route by car with suggestions for stop-off places and things to see on the way, including any picnicking sites. 26 suggestions for the best picnic stops are included at the start of the book and these are cross-referenced with the fold-out map and walk descriptions.

The ‘Walking’ section includes 27 recommended walks, many of which are circular tours. A detailed introduction provides information on waymarking and maps, weather, where to stay, what to take and a country code for walkers and motorists and Spanish for walkers. Each walk begins with information about distance, difficulty grading, waymarking, how to get there, suggested clothing and equipment, language hints and shorter and alternative routes to the main walk. Colour photographs and individually adapted map extracts accompany each route.
