"A great little guide that will easily fit into my pack and provide plenty of excitement if I want it. If you are a holiday maker and don’t venture far from the coast when you are visiting Spain you are missing out on a real experience and Spain has so much to offer... Spain is more mountainous than you would realise with many summits much higher than you will find in the UK.
Walking on the Costa Blanca is a great guide. It is well written, informative and at £14.95 is an inexpensive accompaniment to any holiday in the region, as you can’t really spend all week on beach can you?"
Climbing Gear Reviews
"From what we’ve seen so far – your guides look to be the “bibles” of hikers. They look great, read great, they’re a great size, and contain loads of extra stuff that would benefit anyone. Even my other half was impressed and he’s seriously tough to please."
Spain Buddy
"A true taste of everything the area has to offer. The book is as valuable for experts as it is for near-beginners."
