Thank you! I am currently planning a trip for next month so I'll add some as well.
I am using the Lonely Planet from 2022 but I see DK has a guide coming out this month as well. I am on the hunt for the Cicerone hiking guide.
My other interest aside from hiking is food, so I'll be making use of a cookbook (Sweet Myrtle & Bitter Honey).
My trip was a spontaneous decision so I may have some questions once I get my basic plan outlined, but your planning thread is coming in handy as I get my bearings.
