Great as always
Delivered on time. Inevitable updates to trail/accommodation are on the cicerone website. When it comes to long distance hikes and trails I only consider ones with related cicerone book! Downloadable trail map absolute bonus.

Madeira Walking Guide.
Cicerone are my go to for walking and cycling guides so when we booked a Madeira trip the Paddy Dillon walk guide was a no brainer. Easy to read and follow in a compact format for easy of carry.
