For those who tour Tenerife by car, the drives range all over the island. Walks cover the Orotava Valley, Las Cañadas, and the Teno and Anaga peninsulas. (For walks in the south of Tenerife, see Landscapes of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera.) Whether you tour the islands by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around. "The hallowed blue books" (Sunday Times) The best guidebook is Landscapes of Tenerife, which shows another face of the island for walkers and picnickers, as well as those who tour Tenerife by car. (Sunday Times)I found this book reliable and full of facts, which I expected. I've used other books in the series since I was a novice walker and found the walk descriptions generally sufficient. (JE, Amazon) Invaluable historical, botanical and cultural background information… Many of the walkers we met (of various nationalities) also used the Sunflower guide, perhaps indicating that it is the most practical and definitive guide available.

- About The Author
- Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our 'little blue books' to follow the trails - and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands - from the Azores to Zakynthos - but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our 'Walk & Eat' series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
