Tenerife is the author's home island, since 1988, so it is special to them and this is reflected in the walking routes chosen. They have pioneered many routes on the island plus being pleased to see many of these 'officially adopted' by the island authorities. Tenerife has everything you could wish for a walking holiday which is why it has become a number one destination for UK walkers seeking good weather hiking adventures.

For the new edition Walk! Tenerife there are 46 fully detailed walking routes ranging all the way from coastal adventures right up to the peak of Mount Teide; plus they have given a page to their very first ever route - Geranium Walk, the impressive and recently refurbished coastal promenade stretching all the way from Los Cristianos to La Caleta taking in Playa de las Americas, Playa Fanabe and Costa Adeje.

All 46 routes have a route summary, gradings for effort/exertion; time; distance; ascents and descents in metres; vertigo risk if applicable; and a refreshments rating - from 0 (none) up to 5 (exceptional food, ambiance, position). Map sections are taken from Tenerife Hikers Maps latest edition with waypoints added, while gpx waypoint files are available as a free download zip file from our website.

New for this edition pride of place has to go to the newly opened GR131 from Vilaflor down to Ifonche then on to Arona. There is a new Lasso La Hoya route along with updates to True Grit for the new TF5 road. Whatever your walking ability and/or adventurous nature you will find plenty of walking adventures that will live in your memory. Combine Walk! Tenerife with the Tenerife Hikers Maps (invest in the Super-Durable edition) and Tenerife Bus & Touring Map (new for 2012) and you will be equipped to discovery just why the authors love this island so much.
