From the Back Cover:

There is more to the Canary Islands than sun, sea and sand. Leave behind the teeming resorts to explore more varied landscapes, from the peak of Mount Teide to the laurel forests of La Gomera. Visit fascinating archaeological sites, enjoy colorful Canarian fiestas and shop for handicrafts and local delicacies.

As well as vital practical information, this guidebook covers the little-visited "minor Canaries" of La Graciosa and Isla de Lobos, includes detailed hiking routes, and highlights the numerous peaceful beaches away from the crowds. This is the essential companion for independent travellers looking beyond the tourist traps.

Inside you will find:
*In-depth coverage of every island
*Accommodation for all budgets
*The best places to surf, windsurf and dive
*Anecdotes and insights into local culture
*Hiking and biking in the islands, from short trips to longer excursions
*Guide to Canarian flora and fauna
