A walking guide to Madeira and Porto Santo, volcanic islands which bask in sunny solitude in the Atlantic Ocean, far removed from Europe and Africa. A popular holiday destination for decades, the islands now attract more adventurous travellers keen to walk and trek.

This fully-updated second edition contains 60 routes which explore the dramatic cliff coastline, wander along level levada paths, penetrate dense laurisilva forests and traverse stone-paved paths from peak to peak in the high mountains. Now taking account of sweeping changes around modern-day Madeira, including the new network of underground road tunnels, the guide includes full information about bus routes and accommodation, food and drink along the walks.

•    a comprehensive introduction to Madeira and Porto Santo in 7 sections
•    lavishly illustrated with photographs and contoured maps, showing options for linking routes for longer treks
