Islands awaits the walker with more variety of landscapes than can be found in
any other similarly small region in the world. Wide valleys, wild gorges and
crater landscapes, pine- and laurel forests, banana plantations, cascades and
waterfalls form a rich contrast with one another. The walking here is superb and
the dark-black beaches, beautiful as they are, pale into insignificance in
comparison to the offerings of nature which in all corners of the island
surprise you with ever-changing scenery. The island offers incomparably pleasant
strolls between gleaming lava beaches, lush laurel woods and cloud-ringed
ridges. And ever-present is the deep blue Atlantic. La Palma is made for the
walker who loves nature and seeks adventures away from the noisy beach resorts
and cheap tourist attractions. This guide presents the walker with a wide range
of enjoyable walks incorporating every region on the island: from physically
demanding excursions into the rugged barrancos in the north to the romantic
scenery of the setting sun on the 2000 metre peaks, not to mention the truly
phenomenal volcano route; from gentle walks through bright green pine forests
and across dark lava streams to the most spectacular destination on the island:
the giant unspoilt landscape of the Caldera de Taburiente, surrounded by
thousand metre high precipices, one of the greatest erosion craters in the
world. This Rother guide is the most comprehensive and popular walking guide to
La Palma and has been the definitive guide for many years. The present edition
has been totally revised and now extended to include 71 walks ? an all-round
successful guide, excellently illustrated with maps (scale 1:50,000), which will
arouse your curiosity and can be highly recommended to all mountain lovers on La
Palma.
