Pine Forest Trail in the Parque Rural de Teno

Highlight • Trail

On this section of the path there is a wonderful scent of pine. For me, a scent that is inseparably linked to summer.

We started between Santiago del Teide and Erjos. Sturdy shoes are required. After a charming climb over high paths with lush vegetation, we continued with good views of the Taide and the sea side of La Gomera. Lots of forest. Sometimes pine trees, then laurel trees and cloud forests.
