Rese�a del editor

The Costa Brava - literally the 'rugged coast', in reference to the rocky, inhospitable nature of much of the shore - runs from the French border southwards towards Barcelona. Behind the coast lie the Serralada Litoral and Serralada Prelitoral.

These ranges include such varied landscapes as the extraordinary conglomerate pinnacles of Montserrat, the dormant volcanoes of the Garrotxa and the subalpine heights of the Montseny. It is this very variety, coupled with its proximity to Barcelona and the coastal towns, that makes exploring the Costa Brava hinterland so attractive.

This pocket-sized guide describes car tours, picnic places and walks throughout the area. There is a fold-out touring map for motorists, which also highlights the various walking locations. For those without a car, there are timetables for local transport.

The authors describe what they believe to be the best walks in this part of Catalonia - from the classic routes that form part of the repertoire of any self-respecting Catalan walker to some of their personal favourites well off the beaten track.

A special feature of the guide is the focus on the enormous variety of wildlife on offer, and the authors, keen naturalists, urge you to carry a pair of binoculars and the appropriate field guides.

6 car tours (and accompanying touring map), 18 short and easy walks for motorists, 23+ main walks (each illustrated with 1:50,000 topo map), picnic suggestions. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.

The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.

This is the 12th review I have done on the Sunflower Landscapes series of books. I have been a devotee since I bought my first guide in 1995. Every one has been a winner, and this one is no exception. This book will open up a whole new side of Spain to you. The car tours are wonderful too. It's all there for you in this compact book. You really do not need to go and buy detailed walking maps yourself as the maps included for each walk are more than adequate. Don't leave home without it --(AL, Amazon). NOTA: El libro no est� en espa�ol, sino en ingl�s.

Rese�a del editor

6 car tours, 37 picnic suggestions, 18 short walks for motorists, 23 main walks. Today, people are increasingly aware that inland Spain is a fascinating country just waiting to be explored. And yet this knowledge is, in many cases, ultimately frustrating, since so little has been published - other than in very general guidebooks - on where to go for a quiet day's walking and wildlifing in and around the major holiday destinations of Barcelona and the Costa Brava. This book covers coastal and inland Costa Brava from the French border south to Barcelona - taking in the bird-rich coastal marshes of the Aiguamolls de l'Emporda, the dormant volcanoes of the Garrotxa, the subalpine heights of the Montseny, the extraordinary conglomerate pinnacles of Montserrat, and the Garraf Massif. The authors have been guiding wildlife tours here for decades.
