Guidebook to one of Spain's most unspoilt regions, comprising the
provinces of Caceres and Badajoz. 32 varied walks of between 6 and
20 km explore the sierras of the region and are suitable for any
reasonably fit walker. The book covers The Northern Sierras/System
Central (including the Sierra de Gata, Sierra de Bejar, Sierra de
Gredos), The Central Sierras/Montes de Toledos, and the Southern
Sierras (including the Sierra Morena). There are detailed route
descriptions for each walk, along with clear sketch maps, and
information on terrain, refreshments, access and parking. There are
also notes on natural and historical information and what to look
out for along the way. Walks can be done from a number of bases in
the area including San Martin de Trevejo, Gata, Hervas, Jerte,
Jarandilla de la Vera, Montanchez, Guadalupe, Almoharin, Merida,
Alange, Hornachos and Monesterio. Lying west of Madrid and east of
the Portuguese border, Extremadura is an unspoiled gem perfect for
walkers, lovers of nature and seekers of peace. The region brings
together rugged mountains, rolling hills, deep river valleys, huge
forests and thousands of kilometres of paths, perfect for walking.
Apart from its natural wonders and superb birdlife, Extremadura
boasts a variety of heritage sites including castles, cave
paintings and monasteries.
Celebrating a "golden age" of travel, this new book retraces the
steps of a Grand Tour of South East Asia from the turn of the 20th
century to the present day. The Romance of the Grand Tour explores
the living heritage of 12 exotic port cities: from Rangoon
(Yangon), through the Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca and
Singapore and the old Dutch East Indies cities of Batavia (Jakarta)
and Surabaya, via Bangkok to former Indochina at Saigon (Ho Chi
Minh City), Phnom Penh and Hanoi, through Manila to Hong Kong.
Drawing on archival images and accounts as well as present-day
photographs and illustrations, the book captures the romance and
excitement of these early Grand Tourists, while presenting
contemporary scenes and experiences for 21st-century travellers
determined to seek out the legacy of a bygone era.
The Outer Hebrides are a place apart, an island chain stretching
almost 200km from the Butt of Lewis to Barra Head with some of
Britain's most mesmerising beaches, dramatic mountain ranges,
wonderful wildlife, a long and fascinating history and a rich and
vibrant Gaelic culture. This book features 40 mostly moderate
walks, with many ideal for families, which take in magnificent
sweeps of sand, soaring sea cliffs and memorable hill ascents, as
well as celebrated cultural sights such as the haunting Standing
Stones at Callanish and the blackhouse village of Na Gearrannan.
