Description
This pleasant trail is notable for the thick, cool Canary Island pine forest that is present throughout most of the route.
It starts on the left hand side of the main road (Carretera General de La Esperanza) at km 16.5, in the area of Las Lagunetas, and enters the pine forest almost immediately.
It descends gently parallel to the road and passes the foot of Morra de las Colmenas, before leading you to the Las Canales rest area.
From there you will continue the gentle descent until you leave the Las Lagunetas Protected Landscape and reach the Hoya de Abade Recreational Area, the end of the route.
As an interesting fact, this trail is shared with the Camino de Candelaria, a historic pilgrimage route to the Basilica of Candelaria.
Tips
