Description
This pleasant trail between Las Portelas and Masca offers magnificent views of the Teno Massif and the Masca ravine.
The route starts in La Portela Baja and heads south-west along Calle de Fuera, turning off to the right to join the footpath.
You will arrive at Barranco de Las Lubes and, after crossing it, begin the ascent of the first section that will take you up the slopes of Martín Bay after crossing Pista El Mazapé.
When you reach La Cumbre or La Cancela, you will enjoy the famous panoramic views of the Teno Massif and the Masca ravine. From here begins the descent to the Cruz de Hilda viewpoint, another must-see lookout.
From this point onwards the downhill slope steepens until you reach your destination, the hamlet of El Turrón, a short distance from the main hamlet of Masca and the start of the famous ravine of the same name, Barranco de Masca.
