Wave goodbye to being a tourist
14 de septiembre de 2012
Por Jenna from FollowBenAndJenna
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda
Having read this book, you'll never be a true tourist in Gran Canaria. It's written in an easy vernacular style that makes you feel you're in the middle of a conversation. Luckily, this conversation is with someone who is telling you all the ins and outs and juicy tidbits that would have taken you fifteen years to gather on your own! It's the kind of candid tell-all you hope to find but never do, including an entire chapter on "People and Their Quirks" and over 90 pages of region-by-region guides that divulge the hidden nooks that only a local would know. If you love to immerse yourself in culture and get away from what the tour groups are doing, you'll be so thankful you read this.

Going Local in Gran Canaria
23 de agosto de 2012

Formato:Tapa blanda
I am a shopper of guidebooks. I like arriving in a new place, whether to visit or live, having an inkling of the history, geography and culture, and a rough idea of what I'd like to see. Matthew Hirtes, in his Going Local in Gran Canaria provided all that and more.
As well as the practical Hirtes offers the whimsical, whether describing the view from the loos (toilets) at Artenera or a recipe for the perfect cubata. I am still smiling at his description of warm-up exercises for a surf lesson as being "lifted from the Kama Sutra".
His knowledge of Gran Canaria is organic, tilled from both islanders and his own boots-on-the-ground research. His evaluations, good and bad, lend credence to each place mentioned.
This guidebook should be read before boarding the plane and then kept handy as you follow his suggestions for a memorable stay on his adopted island.

The definitive Guide to Gran Canaria
10 de agosto de 2012
Por Jack Scott
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda
Going Local in Gran Canaria is the definitive guide for visitors and expats alike, covering all aspects of life in this semi-tropical Atlantic semi-paradise. The book is packed to the rafters with well-researched facts and fun, sites and scenes, eats and treats, must-dos and don't-dos, both on and off the well-beaten track. The entire package is delivered in a witty and erudite style from someone in the know, as is to be expected from a seasoned journalist of Matthew Hirtes' calibre. Amusing anecdotes weave through the book. I particularly like the notion that nasty General Franco exiled gay soldiers to the island which may explain Gran Canaria's perennial appeal to the gay community. I've been a regular visitor for over 25 years so maybe there's some truth in this fanciful tale. Whether dipping in for a hint or two or reading cover-to-cover, this book should be in everyone's Canarian suitcase.
