Trekking in the Canary Islands – The GR131 island-hopping route –

* the entire GR131 trail through Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro
* describes east to west with an option to  climb El Teide

“This is the only guidebook to cover the whole GR131 trail (560 km) across all seven of the Canary Islands, which takes about a month to walk, based on efficient transfers between islands.

Described from east to west, the route links towns and traditional villages, passing through a variety of landscapes – from semi-desert to forests and barren mountainsides, not to mention volcanic features such as striking lava fields, to finish at a point once regarded as the edge of the known world.

The majority of the waymarked route is on quiet roads, tracks and old mule paths from village to village, but there are some remote stretches, as well as occasional steep and rocky mountain paths.

– detailed information on all facilities and inter-island transport
