Description
This pleasant trail takes you from the top of the Anaga Massif down to the beautiful northern coastline.
The route starts at the Cruz del Carmen Visitor Centre with a gentle climb up to Cabezo de Zapata.
The path skirts Hoya de Los Tiles and Hoya del Caballo to offer you a beautiful view of Mount Teide through the trees. From here continue north-west, at which point you will begin to enjoy panoramic views over the Tegueste valley all the way to the sea.
The trail will gradually wind its way down a narrow path to the bed of the La Goleta ravine. From there, continue descending gently until you reach the town of Bajamar, with its impressive and famous saltwater pools.
