....after yesterday's really strenuous hike, we drove to the island's largest city, Los Llanos, today. The celebrations for Dia de Canarias are already starting today. On 30.05, the first session of the Canary Islands Parliament in 1983 will be commemorated on all Canary Islands. Conclusion: You don

...today something "calm". With the rental car to Los Sauces and then first 3-4 kilometers with a felt 20% gradient (but the view was nice). Then again on narrow paths towards the Los Tilos waterfall (luckily you could only guess the depth to the right of the path) and the waterfall was really great

..we want to make the second week at least as good as the first week. The tour has a few long stretches and is quite strenuous, especially at the beginning, up to Conception, but it's worth it. It's a shame that Conception didn't count as a summit. Reaching the summit cross is, in my opinion, associated

The second stop on our little island tour today was Fuencaliente with the San Antonio volcano. The €8 for visiting the volcano and visitor center is a worthwhile investment. The place is also the starting point of the Transvulcania ultra-marathon.

What a day. The drive to and from via the mountain pass is already quite nerve-wracking, but @AndiBerg brought us up and back down there sovereignly. Then the road to the visitor parking lot was closed. Unfortunately, we (like many others) only noticed it when we had already walked two kilometers uphill

Today we took the bus to Cubo de la Galga. You hike through a beautiful laurel forest. The initially perceived coolness quickly turns into a sweaty "adventure" thanks to the high humidity. The path up to the Mirador is spectacular, but should be tackled with hiking boots. Hiking poles are probably not

...the first real round and then straight away such a cracker. Tour No. 47 from the very good Rother hiking guide really had everything a hiker's heart desires. A really crisp ascent at the beginning, wet and rainforest-like passages, sunny pine forests and lava fields. What more could you want? Oh yes

For acclimatization, we took a relaxed hike to the very beautiful island capital today and looked around. On the way back, we treated ourselves to the local bus for 1.50 euros per person. The free ride on the Ascensor de la Luz is also recommended.

After yesterday's hike, the tired legs needed some loosening up. I'm also curious to see what happens after completing the June Challenge.
