Hiking

Following these cacti you arrive at Barranco de Vinamar by an alternative path to the official one, but more technical and demanding, so if you do not go with the right footwear (and enough water) admire these beautiful cacti and return to the main path.

This path up to Pico de la Zarza is much more interesting than the official path. I walked up it and then down via the official path. Worth it just to see the cactus fields - absolutely stunning. It is very easy to lose the track, so keep an eye on your navigation app! It's very rocky in parts so sturdy footwear recommended.
