Tenerife and La Gomera are the most diverse of the Canaries. Set in a dramatic landscape, these are islands of extremes: from sun-baked, shrubby lava fields to evergreen cloud forests and from lush, terraced mountain slopes to the strange high-altitude semi-desert in the crater of the Teide volcano - each corner is a different world. Only two ingredients are consistently present: spectacular scenery and an endemic flora and fauna. Over 30% of the wildflowers of Tenerife and La Gomera occur nowhere else in the world but here, bestowing the title of the 'Galapagos of botany' on the islands. Likewise, the birdlife, the reptiles and butterflies have evolved into unique faunas. Hence, these islands are a must-see for anyone with a passion for the natural world.* 17 routes (car and walk)* 35 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology

Southern Portugal is a superb and rich wildlife destination. The Algarve province and its northern neighbour the Alentejo have a highly diverse landscape. There are high cliffs, dunes and tidal marshes on the coast, and extensive oak pastures, steppes and rocky hills in the interior. Whether you enjoy birdwatching, searching for orchids or simply a pleasant ramble through a flower-dotted landscape, southern Portugal is a great destination at any season.* 23 routes (car and walk)* 29 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology

Andalucía is a region of contrast. There are wild mountains and extensive marshes, dry semi-desert and barren karst, but also leafy woodlands laced with murmuring streams. The biodiversity is the highest of any of the Spanish regions. Andalucía is the stronghold of the endangered Iberian Lynx. Herds of wild Ibex roam the mountains and large numbers of vultures and eagles nest on remote, precipitous cliffs. In the wind- beaten dune scrub, the Chameleon shelters, while huge numbers of waterfowl feed in the marshes.* 18 routes (car and walk)* 28 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology

Crossbill Nature travel guide covers Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the two easternmost Canary Islands. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, with their odd cross of Volcanic and Saharan-style desert landscapes, support a wonderful flora and fauna - especially birds - many of which occur nowhere else in Europe (or even the world) but here. As any Crossbill Guide, the Canary Islands 1 - Lanzarote and Fuerteventura guide gives detailed route descriptions (13 in total) and site descriptions (about 20) for naturalists throughout both islands, covering the best sites for birdwatching, finding wildflowers, dragonflies and butterflies and the most remarkable geological sites. It also gives detailed information on tracking down the evolutionary processes that shaped the unique ecology of these isolated Atlantic Islands.* 13 routes (car and walk)* 20 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology
