Walking on Tenerife Summary

Walking on Tenerife: 45 walks including El Teide and GR 131 by Paddy Dillon

Guidebook of 45 day walks and treks ranging from 3.5 to 29.5km (2-18 miles) in length on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. The routes described are made up of 40 one-day walks, including routes covering the slopes of El Teide (the highest mountain on Spanish territory), plus the GR131 is described as a 5-day long-distance walk from Arona to La Esperanza. The routes range from easy to strenuous with options to suit all abilities. Tenerife has beautiful natural scenery ranging from the lush laurisilva forests of Anaga to the lava landscapes of Parque Nacional del Teide. The guide makes the most of this scenery with routes across the island that are accessible via public transport. Details of the island's local facilities are provided along with information on how to get there, when to go and notes on local geology, wildlife and habitats. The detailed route descriptions are illustrated with 1:50,000 map extracts and colour photographs. The guide is split into seven sections - Anaga, Teno, Arona/Guia, Valle de la Orotava, Parque Nacional, El Teide and GR131 - covering all the best walking to be had on the island.
