January 25, 2024,GC: Runde im Barranco de la Virgen (58)

Today we went to the north of the island again. Our starting point was near Firgas (not far from the Firgas water bottling facility). At first we went leisurely uphill on the GC305 (very, very few cars ;-)) through the green, fertile valley until the Camino Real took us up to the top. We really liked the numerous information boards …

Despite the rain of the last few days, the descents and ascents were easy to walk on. The paths in the valley and on the ridge are asphalted.

January 13, 2024,Barranco Virgen

A varied tour at medium altitudes around 1,000 meters ("las medianias") in the green north. A circular tour from/to Fontanales in the Doramas Natural Park. Here you can find the famous “Eternal Spring” of the Canary Islands. The cultural landscape is replaced by the lush green of the Barranco de la Virgen, where isolated laurel trees in the landscape give …

February 25, 2025,[702] Gran Canaria: Durch den Barranco de La Virgen | Runde von Fontanales ☀️ 🥾🥾 ☕🍰

I remember Fontanales from our stay in 2003. Our accommodation was the Finca Casa Nanita, a finca that was awarded the prize for the most successful restoration of a rural property, located very close to Fantanales. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side. We had rain 12 out of 14 days and it was cold up here. Fontanales is …

March 6, 2023,Runde von Fontanales (Parkplatz) - Corvo - Barranco de la Virgin und zurück

Nice circular tour on partly/often small slopes (roads) and over romantic old hiking trails. Initially, the path is lined with laurel trees and later you pass gardens where papayas, lemons and oranges grow ("Valley of the Virgin").
