Madeira: Landscapes: Car Tours and Walks [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

Now in its 11th edition, this is THE book that made walking on Madeira so popular. In print since 1981, with over half a million copies sold.

This pocket-sized guide describes six car tours (with fold-out touring map), highlighting places where you can stop for a walk or just a stroll to a lovely picnic setting.

But the major part of the book is devoted to 100 different long and short walk routes, all illustrated with large-scale topographical maps (1:40,000).

While keen hillwalkers have long known about the island's mountainous terrain (the island is one of Europe's top destinations for mountain walks), what has attracted visitors of all ages and abilities is the opportunity to walk the 'levadas' - the paths beside the island's irrigation channels.

6 car tours (with accompanying touring map), 100 long and short walks (each illustrated with 1:40,000 topo map), 27 picnic suggestions. Plan of Funchal. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.

The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.

A remarkable paperback which may have done more than any other to change the way its readers spend their holidays: this book single-handedly turned levada-walking into something approaching a craze. --(Sunday Times)

We were greatly impressed with the detail, accuracy and comprehensiveness of the guide and with the research that obviously went into it. May I congratulate you on the best guidebook that I have come across. Despite having lived in, and visited, the Lake District over 60 years where there is a surfeit of guidebooks, I have not met your equal. --(Comment from a user who told us that while working in Madeira in the 1950s he had explored the island relying on a pre-war map and his sense of direction; lately he had returned to the island for the first time in 46 years.)

The best way to discover Madeira. --(BE, Amazon). NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
