 Canary
Islands (Lonely Planet Regional Guides S.)
Tour Canary Islands. This
guide book covers all seven Canary Islands and provides information
on how to hop from one to the other. It covers activities from
surfing to cycling, provides details of the fiesta and ferias
held in the region, and offers information on traditional crafts
and indigenous architecture.
 Landscapes
of Gran Canaria (Sunflower Landscapes S.)
Tour Canary Islands. A
wealth of diverse landscapes and a wonderland of curious flora
await the visitor to Gran Canaria, in our opinion the most underrated
of the Canaries amongst countryside enthusiasts. It's hard to
believe that such a small island (1532 sq km/600 sq mi) has
so much to offer. And yet it's often been referred to as a 'continent
in minature'. If you travel across Grand Canary for a day by
car or on foot you will see 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 Gg 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 there is to explore.
 Landscapes
of La Palma and El Hierro (Sunflower Landscapes S.)
Tour Canary Islands. In
natural beauty, La Palma rivals all the other Canary Islands
put together. Its immense, abyss-like crater, the Caldera de
Taburiente, is considered to be the largest of its kind in the
world. Deep within its pine-speckled, towering walls is a year-round
abundance of water-gushing streams, boisterous cascades, and
a plummeting waterfall. Outside the crater, high on the cloud-catching
hillsides, 20 million-year-old laurel forests grow as dense
as a jungle. In the southern half of the island, hills pitted
with volcanic craters and mini-deserts of black lapilli speak
of the island's volcanic past. This stark, striking landscape,
all the more dramatic for its stabs of volcanic reds, oranges,
and yellows, is far removed from the lush and verdant, tree-clad
north. El Hierro, the least-visited of all the Canaries, at
first appears to be a dried-up, sprawling mountain of rock,
rising straight from the sea, treeless and barren. But Noel
introduces you to the island's hidden charms as remarkable as
any in the archipelago, and well worth a visit in its own right
or during your stay on La Palma.
 Berlitz

of the north and beautiful scenery of the east. The book also

A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels
and restaurants and useful expressions in Spanish. You can read
