This book offers 21 walks on Lanzarote, two on Isla La Graciosa (off
Lanzarote's northern coast) and 22 on Fuerteventura, including 14 walks
on the GR 131 trail, which crosses both islands. These 45 traditional
routes link several villages and span a range of arid agricultural and
natural areas.
Both popular holiday destinations, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are two
remarkably different islands. Lanzarote has a fascinating volcanic
national park at Timanfaya, and vineyards fill huge areas of black
volcanic ash at La Geria; Fuerteventura is famous for extensive golden
beaches, but its splendid mountain paths are less well-known. Both
islands are crossed by new waymarked trails.
The guide offers routes suitable for a variety of abilities, and gives
all the information walkers need including where to get food and drink,
notes on points of interest along the way and on how to link shorter
routes together to create longer journeys. Many routes are accessible
using the good bus services on offer on both islands, and both islands
are easily linked by frequent half-hour ferries and offer good ferry and
air links to their neighbouring Canary islands.
