Gran Canaria (Rother Walking Guides Europe) (English and German Edition) Paperback – August 1, 2015

I brought this on a trip to GC in 2018, looked through it for ideas, and personally did four of the suggested routes. On a value per volume basis, this was one of the best items I packed! It is literally a pocket guide, easily carried in a pack, jacket, or even the back of your jeans!There is detailed yet concise information on 72 routes. Some are quite ambitious, but others can be done in an hour so. The instructions can sound almost pedantic at times, but if you read carefully you will never be misled! My only caveat is that the miniature maps for each route give a very narrow perspective. This is partially solved with an indexed master map of the island on pages 8-9, but I would suggest Googlemaps supplementation before you go. A nice crowning detail is the tiny cross sectional topography schematics that show the elevation changes you will experience, to give you an idea of the exertion involved. All in all, a gem of German precision!
