Based on Puerto de la Cruz, this book features car tours all over the island and is the best choice for those staying in the north. The walks cover the Orotava Valley, Las Canadas, the Teno and Anaga peninsulas. (For walks in the south of Tenerife, see "Landscapes of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera"). This was the first walking guide for Tenerife, but in recent years the island has become the most popular of all the Canaries amongst walkers, and for good reason. Tenerife has something for everyone - country lanes for strolling, nature trails for hiking, and mountains to be scaled - including El Teide, the highest in all Spain. The profusion of wild plants and flowers makes the island a botanical treasure.
