La Mérica Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Easy to walk trail with a great view over the valley. Can be pretty windy and chilled up there. Bring a jacket.

Tip by

12.4 km

La Calera, with its whitewashed houses and panoramic roof terraces, is picturesquely situated on a mountain slope in Valle Gran Rey. Cobbled streets and steep stairs keep traffic away and preserve the idyllic core of La Calera.

March 9, 2022,Von Arure ganz schön bergab nach Valle Gran Rey La Gomera

Today it was beautiful again and I am always amazed at how versatile La Gomera is. After the lunch break, I rescued a kid that got its foot caught in a gate. Poor little thing! 🥺
After that it all went downhill for us! 😅

March 1, 2023,La Gomera Tag 9: Wanderung von Arure nach Valle Gran Rey

Beautiful mountain trail with fantastic views of La Palma, El Hierro and especially Valle Gran Rey.
The descent was tough - more than 800 meters downhill in serpentines.

June 16, 2023,Wanderung La Calera nach Arure+🚍

A beautiful hike from La Calera to Arure. You climb a very steep path about 500 meters in altitude. The path is very well developed. Then you reach the plateau and already see the more than 400-year-old tree on a rocky outcrop. He must have seen Christopher Columbus afterwards. After a short break, you continue to walk steadily upwards over …

April 3, 2022,LA GOMERA 09 | Camino la Mérica

In short: "Ay, un punto de vista!" – "But, as you can see, you see nothing."

The weather in the mountains wanted to thwart our plans again. Only two fools got off the bus. After a short distance, the water was already in the boots, the underpants were wet too and the rain was directly passed on, up the back. …

July 24, 2022,von Arure zum einsamen Baum und Hotel Gran Rey

By bus (2€) to Arure. The rest is almost self-explanatory. At the top, you can walk well with a fantastic view. Telescopic poles are recommended for the descent. There is a small shop next to the church where you can also buy chilled drinks on Sundays 😅😋

March 16, 2025,Gomera: Von Playa über die Hochebene La Marica nach Arure

One of the most beautiful hikes: From La Playa, a steep climb to the La Merica plateau—easy to walk, but strenuous—across the plateau to Arure, with impressive views and amazing rock formations. From Arure, return by bus.

February 26, 2022,🇪🇸 La Gomera Valle Gran Rey über die Hochebene Mercia nach Arure / remake 2022

It rains mainly in the center of the island... so on the coast on the "local mountain" to the lonely tree and then over the Mérica plateau to Arure.
It's always amazing how quickly you gain altitude and how the views change.
From the lonely tree, wear a fleece sweater and rain jacket against the wind and raindrops across the …

January 3, 2025,La Playa - La Calera - GR 132 - Arure

Today we made a big climb from our apartment on the beach via La Playa and La Calera. Scenic mountain walk above the Valle Gran Rey, with magnificent views. From La Calero a steep camino real winds up to the plateau La Mérica, which overlooks the Playa Valle Gran Rey. Further over an elongated mountain range towards Arure. In addition …
