These pocket-sized full-colour guides, illustrated with hundreds of photographs, are designed for short-break holidays. They describe walks and recommend restaurants/hotels en route (with sample menus). Following each restaurant entry is one or more of their recipes, to be made in self-catering accommodation or at home. Other sections include: planning your trip, logistics on arrival, shopping for self-catering (including health food shops), local markets and specialities, glossary of local food terms, etc. Each book contains topographical walking maps (1:35,000) to accompany the clear walk instructions. Our unique online Update service with route-change information, users’ recommendations and any future changes to restaurant information and recommendations, is available for this new series.

This pocket guide is designed for short-break walking holidays on Madeira, using public transport (or a car, if you prefer). Funchal, the capital, is easily and fairly inexpensively reached by charter flights, and the climate makes for brilliant walking all year round. With this book you'll have in your hand enough walks, excursions, restaurants and recipes to last for up to two weeks — so you can pick and choose the most appealing.

The highlights at a glance:
• 13 varied day walks, each with topographical map
• 2 excursions — one just a short ‘flight‘ by cable car, the other a fairly long bus ride, with walks from each
• recommended restaurants and hotels
• recipes to make at your self-catering base or back home
• special section with hints on wheat-, gluten- and dairy-free eating and cooking on the island

Note: although there is some overlapping of walk routes between this book and Landscapes of Madeira, many of the walks are different, whilst all the information regarding restaurants, cafés and shopping are only in this Walk & Eat book.

All the recipes have been tested by the authors and are known to ‘work’. The recipes and shopping information caters for users who are on wheat-, gluten- and dairy-free diets.
