Gozo – 10 Great Walks by Emmet McMahon and Jonathan Henwood
This is a brand new book from the authors of “Malta: 10 Great Walks”.
For once I have the actual book in my hands already so I can tell you my initial impressions: The walks covers the entire island in what sure looks like (as sure I can be without actually using the book yet) a very instructive and clear manner. When I am comparing the instructions with my notes from my own walks on the island it seems spot on, and all walk descriptions seem well written and with sufficient detail. In addition it also has fairly detailed maps. History and background information are put in separate sections and it also covers practicalities for the visitor. The general layout is very appealing. I am certain that this book will be your trusted walking companion if you visit the island of Gozo. I have had some issues with others guides on Gozo, and this book looks like a better offer.
So as a conclusion: Very promising and also inspiring, I just cannot wait to try it out in real life. Actually, I hope there will be time for that at some point during winter or in the spring at the latest.
