Tenerife is the Sunflower Landscapes guide to exploring the best walking and touring possibilities on one of the most popular Canary Islands. The guide covers a range of routes including walks in the Orotava Valley and Las Canadas, the North-west and the Anaga Peninsula. A double-sided, fold-out touring map at the back of the book gives an overview of the island 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. 5 Car-touring routes are included, covering the ‘Orotava Valley and Las Canadas’, the ‘Rugged Anaga Peninsula’, ‘Spectacular North-west settings’, ‘Quiet Corners of the Anaga’ and the ‘Sun’ Baked South.’ Each describes a route by car with suggestions for stop-off places and things to see on the way, including any picnicking sites. 32 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 30 recommended walks, many of which are circular tours. A detailed introduction provides information on waymarking and maps, what to take, a walkers’ checklist, where to stay, weather, Spanish for walkers and a country code for walkers and motorists. 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 1:50,000 map extracts accompany each route.
