Although this route is very difficult due to the steep slopes up and down, the technical aspects of the terrain and the exposure to the sun, walking through these lands is a singular experience for several reasons. This area is of vital importance for the conservation of the Tabaibal-Cardonal (mixed plant formation located in the lowland and coastal area of the Canaries), and other numerous endemic species of flora and fauna that add to the beauty of the landscape of this region. For these reasons, the Government of the Canary Islands has proposed that the area become part of our National Parks Network, as it is a unique geological and archaeological area in the Canary Islands.
Walking this route is undoubtedly an experience full of magic, an adventure where we will conquer mountains to get to the coast.
The tasting of local products will take place at the Hotel La Aldea Suites, located in an exceptional area nestled between the mountains and the sea.
