Reseña del editor

The Maltese landscape offers rich rewards for those who enjoy exploring: interests in ancient and modern history, military and ecclesiastical architecture, geology, and flora are all well catered for.

If this will be your first visit to the Maltese Islands, this book will be a perfect introduction to the delights of walking in Malta and Gozo and touring the islands by car or with public transport.

This new 6th edition has been thoroughly revised, with completely new maps and details of the new bus services. If you are using one of the earlier editions, we strongly recommend replacing it with this new one.

3 car tours (2 on Malta, 1 on Gozo, with accompanying touring maps), 70 long and short walks (each accompanied by 1:32,000 topo maps), 33 picnic suggestions. Plans of Valletta, Cospicua, Senglea, Vittoriosa, Mdina/Rabat, Victoria (Gozo). Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.

The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.

We used this book on a recent holiday in Gozo. Usually I go on holiday laden down with guide books, but this time I tried to limit the number by just taking the Sunflower Guide for Malta, Gozo and Comino... It worked. [It] gave us a great introduction to the island and, on our last day, when we had 12 hours to kill in Malta before the flight home, the walking tour of Valetta and the tours of Malta by car meant that we were able to squeeze in some enjoyment right to the last minute. An indication that there were restaurants in Marsaxlokk led us to take a chance on this charming little bay near the airport. The relaxing meal we ate there was a fitting end to a very chilled week in the Maltese Islands. I didn't miss the lack of other guides... --(Lin, Amazon)

Invaluable. There are walks of all shapes and sizes... the guidance given for each walk is clear and concise. --(RG, Amazon). NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Reseña del editor

Pocket-sized full-colour guide describing two car tours on Malta and one on Gozo, plus a wealth of picnic places on all three Maltese Islands. But the major part of the book is devoted to walks for all ages and abilities, all illustrated with large-scale topographical walking maps (scale 1:50,000). There is a fold-out touring map for motorists, which also locates the various walking areas. Timetables are given for local transport. The Maltese archipelago is a wonderful walking destination almost all year round, with so much historical interest as well as magnificent coastal scenery. This is the only guide to the islands that is updated annually by the author; his findings are posted online, with specific route change information where necessary. The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times; Sunflower has been named a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
