This pocket-sized full-colour guide to walking in Madeira is designed for visitors who would like to combine some enticing walks with the best local cooking. Many of the walks are along the `levada` paths so beloved of visitors. Levadas are watercourses that carry rainfall from the mountains to irrigate the cultivated terraces. But even `non-walkers` will appreciate the recommendations for eating out in Madeira. For each suggested restaurant there is a photograph of the decor & one of their dishes, plus sample menu, price guide, opening times & a recipe for one of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, logistics on arrival, local markets & specialities, glossary of local food terms, & a restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors & are known to `work`. The 13 walks are dotted all around the isl&, & are of the easy-to-moderate grade. But note: There is some overlapping of walk routes between this book & ` Landscapes of Madeira` by the same authors. Do check the contents of both guides to compare coverage & see which book might best suit you. ...
