Bergverlag Rother La Gomera: Rother Walking Guide No Colour

Product Description

Rother walking guides are pocket-sized, in full colour & include 50 walks, varying from day-long hikes, mountain & valley walks, some easy some more demanding. Each walk has accompanying mapping, usually 1:50 000 & colour photos capture the 'feel' of each of the countries. This is the 2012 edition of this guidebook – with 53 walks. La Gomera can be considered the wildest of the Canary Islands. From the central highlands of the almost 1500-metre high isl&, countless, steep-walled gorges wind down to the sea, slicing the otherwise gently sloping island coast like a cake. La Gomera is made for nature-loving walkers, & offers an incredible variety in its countryside. Idyllic valleys with terraced fields & palm groves stand in contrast to precipitous cliffs & spectacular gorges; the magical laurel forests of Garajonay National Park are countered by pine forests & banana plantations.
