his travels. But the landscapes enchanted him as well: "No other
Mediterranean island can boast such a wealth of natural beauty.
Beaches to suit every taste: from long stretches of glaring white
sand to pink rocky coves. Real mountains - climbers' terrain - that
reach almost 3000m/9000ft. In these mountains you stumble upon a
magnificent mixture of pine forests, beech woods, chestnut groves,
and coppices of evergreen oaks. Streams bound down the
mountainsides; rivers cascade through awe-inspiring gorges, leaving
behind blue-green pools as clear as crystal. The pink granite hills
and cliffs, normally conjured up only for an artist's canvas, are
real indeed on Corsica." Whatever your age or ability we've got
some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable
holiday in Corsica. Inside the Sunflower Corsica guide book you'll

Fascinating Lanzarote is truly extraordinary. Its fate was decided
some two and one-half centuries ago, when the largest volcanic
eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and
alluring countryside in its wake - a landscape littered with
volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to
nearly every scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound -
none more so than the 'Fire Mountains'. As for hiking in Lanzarote,
there is no better place in the Canaries for just strolling;
trekkers will be in their element here. Each of the walks in this
book takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a
scenically different outlook. But if walking is not your favourite
pastime, then do explore Lanzarote by car. Whatever your age or
ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you
have a memorable holiday in Lanzarote. Inside the Sunflower

The go-to Gran Canaria travel guide for discovering the best walks
and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Gran Canaria on
foot with the Sunflower Gran Canaria travel guide. And on the days
when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery
on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Gran Canaria guide
is indispensable for hiking in Gran Canaria or seeing Gran Canaria
by car. For many years Gran Canaria was the most underrated of the
Canary Islands among countryside enthusiasts, but with the
restoration of the old trails (the so-called 'Kings' Highways'),
the island has been truly 'discovered' by walkers. There's more
than a month's walking in this guide to show you why! The island is
often referred to as a 'continent in miniature'. If you travel
across Gran Canaria by car or on foot you'll see why for yourself!
From the hub of the cumbre, the island's great saddle, ravines are
born and fan out seaward like spokes on a wheel, gouging enormous
valleys in their wake. Between them there are magnificent barrancos
(ravines). Each has its own little secret to share. In the Barranco
de los Cernicalos there are knee-deep grasses and a chuckling
stream; the Barranco de la Aldea hides an emerald-green reservoir;
the Barranco de Guigui opens out to an incomparable beach. These
are but a few of the island's breathtaking ravines... and this is
only the start of what you will find when out walking in Gran
Canaria. The best months for walking on Gran Canaria are October to
June (for the wild flowers, foliage and freshness in the air) but,
increasingly, hikers are exploring all the Canary Islands on foot
in summer as well. Inside the Sunflower Gran Canaria guide book
you'll find: 60 long and short walks - more than a month's walking
1:50,000 topo maps, including all the latest officially waymarked
trails 6 car tours, highlighting access to all the walks en route
fold-out touring map with walk locations - ideal for planning plans
of Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles 12 picnic suggestions -
short walks and leg stretchers timetables for local transport
online update service - the latest news available to the publisher
This guide is part of the Landscapes Series, with 50 destinations -
dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and chosen by readers
of Which? as one of the four top travel guide series (from a field
of 18). Whatever your age or ability, whether you tour the island
on foot or by car, we've got some glorious walks and car tours to
ensure you have a memorable Gran Canaria holiday. We look forward
to showing you around.
