Reviews

'If you like to walk and you like to eat - you are going to love this book - the best guide to Madeira that we have used in our two trips to the island.' (PVB, Amazon) 'All the walks feature places where you can find a good meal. Overall this is the perfect walking guide for the visitor who may want to do a walk or two but is not visiting specifically for this purpose. More ambitious walkers may prefer Sunflower's Landscapes guide to Madeira.' (ASM, Amazon)
