Azores

The aim of this series is to lure visitors away from the tourist centers and into the countryside. Books cover car tours and picnic suggestions, but walks - from short strolls to long hikes - are the key feature. The authors know their chosen landscapes intimately; many live in the area, others visit annually. They have written these books because they see the beauty and interest in these regions and want to share, not because they are paid to go to this season's hot destination and write a book. See page 18 for our full list of Sunflower Guides. You'll read about dozens of unforgettable walks for all ages and abilities, with highly detailed walking maps in full color. The most rewarding driving tours of the region are also profiled. Large color fold-out maps and color photos show what you will see on every walk and tour. For planning purposes, timetables for buses, trains and ferries are provided. Information on the local foods, customs, wildlife and historic sites rounds out the coverage. A free update service on the Web, www.sunflowerbooks.co.uk, will keep you abreast of all changes.
