Description What's new in the second print published in 2024? The complete text of all chapters has been checked and updated to the current situation. Routes have also been checked and changed where needed. All in all, this resulted in numerous small changes. Furthermore, GPS coordinates have been added to the route points and site descriptions to facilitate navigation. The second title in the Crossbill Guides series to cover the Canary Islands, volume 2 deals with Tenerife and La Gomera. The flora and fauna of these two volcanic islands are unique and encompass a large number of endemic species. This guide describes the environment from the sun-baked coastal lava fields to the snow-covered top of the volcano Teide, including all organisms found in these ecosystems.
