La Gomera and Southern Tenerife
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
La Gomera and Southern Tenerife by Noel Rochford
Gomera and Tenerife are just a 35-minute ferry ride apart: this guide offers walks and tours on both. There are car tours (with picnic suggestions) all over both islands, with pull-out touring maps and plans for the larger connurbations. Walks cover all of Gomera, but only the south of Tenerife (a companion volume, 'Landscapes of Tenerife - Orotava, Canadas, Teno, Anaga' covers the rest of the island, and those going to Tenerife for a long walking holiday, who will be based in the south, should ideally have both books.) Area covered: The book is divided into two parts. The major emphasis is on exploring the whole of La Gomera by car or on foot. But the Tenerife section of the book is also packed with suggestions: there are tours (from Playa de las Americas/Los Cristianos) covering the whole of Tenerife by car, as well as the best walking in Tenerife's south. All the walks and tours in both books were re-walked and re-driven for the 2014 edition and have been revised again where necessary prior to publication of this edition.
We bought the book and used it to guide us as to where we should base ourselves on each islandI will do the same again when planning our next trip. All the book's walks we did went very smoothly thanks to the excellent instructions, and accurate maps. On first glance, the maps in the books may look simple and lacking in detail, but what you find when using them is that ... they actually have just the detail you need. By contrast we also took another guide to walking on La Gomera with us, and tried its walks on 2/3 occasions. Each time was a bit of a disaster thanks to misleading instructions and maps that 'looked' detailed, but actually didn't tell you what you really needed to know. We quickly decided that for walking, Sunflower is the only way to go. (RN, Amazon). I am the happy owner of 5 Sunflower guides, but this is my favourite. (Mark, Amazon)
