La Aldea to Mogan
8 November 2022, Spanyol
After an excellent breakfast with lots of different breads and cakes to appeal to the German group at the hotel, we took a public bus inland along the GC200 before getting off at the Aldea Pass (700m) to follow an ancient pathway which connects the villages of La Aldea, Tasarte and Veneguara. It was an undulating trail with two steep ascents and three descents; 14 kms with 250m of ascent and 400m of descent.
The view to the left was of the walls of Los Azulejos, green-layered rock sheets topped by the Inagua Forest which some of the group walked the following day.
After stopping at the villages of Veneguera for lunch and Mogan for a drink, we caught the public bus for an hour's drive in and out of all the ravines back to La Aldea.
We had a nice dinner in the old part of town.Baca selengkapnya

Playa de La Aldea
9 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
On our free day which was sunny, hot and windy in the afternoon,, I walked 5km down the barranco, partly through the market-gardening of tomatoes and bananas covered with plastic sheets, to Playa de La Aldea, a small fishing village.with a shingly beach and a wetland protected from the rough sea by a harbour wall. and breakwater.
On the way, I walked across Latitude 28 North which Columbus had followed from the Canaries to the West Indies.
I had gambas (shrimps) in garlic followed by a Uruguayian creamy dessert for lunch at a cafe near the seafront, followed by a coffee in the afternoon in a small park where I read a book.
The public bus back to La Aldea hadn't arrived by the due time but, fortunately, a German couple stopped and gave me a lift back to town.Baca selengkapnya

Pico de los Nieves
10 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We left La Aldea in a smaller coach than before which allowed the driver to use the smaller roads rather than having to make a major detour to reach the Pico de los Nieves, the highest point of Gran Canaria at 1942m. The winding road left me and others almost coach-sick.
We walked steeply uphill for and hour and 3kms with 200m of ascent to reach the Pico which could also be reached by car. There were great views from the top with the Roque Nublo in the distance.
We walked down for 11kms with 800m of descent through a pine forest and a paved section of the Camino de Santiago to Degollada de los Hornos (1719m) and then to San Bartolome where we rejoined the coach for the drive back to Aguimes and a couple more nights at the Hotel Escuela Rural.
I had vegetable paella for dinner at an al fresco restaurant.Baca selengkapnya

Santa Lucia to Aguimes
11 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
On another sunny and warm day, we took a local bus for the 50 minute drive to Santa Lucia. from where we started a long but scenic walk back to Aguimes. The walk was 17km with 300m of ascent and 700m of descent. We walked through a water-sculptured ravine and over some farmland covered with soil rather than the usual stony or rocky ground.
I had a final beer and pastry in the square in Aguimes followed by the farewell dinner. There was a fiesta with races, and live music with African and Caribbean influences.Baca selengkapnya

Gran Canaria to Tenerife and La Gomera
12 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
On another sunny and warm day, I took a taxi from the hotel in Aguimes to the airport at 11.30. The departure hall at the airport was about 1km long and very busy.
The Binter Canarias flight to Tenerife Sur on an ATR took 40 minutes. I was met by Brian, the Explore leader, and taken by taxi to Andrew's Hotel in Los Cristianos, the meeting point for the group. I walked with Alison to the beach and had a coffee, before returning to the hotel to meet the rest of the group, and then walking to the ferry port.
The Armas Naviera ferry to San Sebastion, the capital of La Gomera, departed at 19.30 and took an hour. We checked into the Hotel Torre del Conde, and then walked across the road for a late dinner.
The group consisted of Alison from Colchester, Tricia from Rochester, Lee from Finsbury Park, Pauline from Glasgow, Kevin from Preston, Giselle and Tim (ex-BP) from Malvern, Christine and James from near Bangor, and Fernaz from New York. Brian Teuwen, the leader, was Dutch and had starred in Bittersweet Days in 2016.Baca selengkapnya

Collada de Peraza to San Sebastian
13 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
On a warm and sunny day, we travelled by coach to Collada de Pereza for the start of a 17km walk ascending 300m and descending 1000m. The trail started on a stone-paved path through a variety of vegetation including aloe and asphodel, and later pines and palms. When we reached the village of La Laja, we saw the striking rock formations of Los Roques. We continued along a quiet rural road to Chejelipes where the coach met us to take us back to San Sebastian.Baca selengkapnya

Garajonay National Park
15 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
On a sunny and hot day, we drove almost to the top of the island, walking the last kilometre to the Alto de Garajonay at 1484m. where we had a splendid 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape. We continued down a trail in the Garajonay National Park through the ancient Laurisilva cloud forest, unique to La Gomera,Tenerife and La Palma. We stopped for a picnic lunch at the chapel of Nuestra Senora de Lourdes before continuing down the Barranc del Cedro, a deep ravine surrounded by lush vegetation with a bubbling stream at the bottom. The trail continued through the village of El Cedro before we were met by the coach to return to San Sebastian.
The 10km walk had 300m of ascent and 900m of descent.
Dinner was at a fish restaurant near the beach where you could choose from the catch of the day.Baca selengkapnya

Walk to Playa Caleta
15 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Starting in Hermigua, we walked on unmade hillside paths, quite narrow in places along the cliffs, for 10km with 400m of ascent and 600m of descent to Playa Caleta. The walk had started by going up through a valley of banana plantations, where we stopped for our picnic lunch and a drink at a bar, before descending steeply across a lava field which met the cliff path.
We had a good view of Mount Tiede on Tenerife in the morning.
Playa Caleta has a volcanic black sand beach although it was being battered by the heavy waves. The bar and cafe which we were looking forward to had been closed to discourage visitors going into the often rough sea.
Returning to San Sebastian by coach, we went to a smart restaurant which served watercress soup and rabbit, both local specialities.
Before dinner, some of us had a demonstration from a couple of ladies of the whistling which the locals used to use to communicate across the valleys.Baca selengkapnya

The morning in San Sebastian
16 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
This was a free day to explore San Sebastian. After buying a battery for the stopwatch/alarm clock and stamps, I walked around the town, visiting the Torre del Conde, the Museo Casa de Colon (Columbus House), a geological museum, the Iglesia Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion, the Ermita de San Sebastian, and seeing the old houses, more of them being restored, and the colourful houses up the hillsides.Baca selengkapnya

16 November 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
For a 52 Euro lunch, I went with Alison, Tricia, Giselle and Tim to the Parador Nacional de Turismo which was set in an old building (a palace or a monastery?) on a headland overlooking the town with a garden to relax in afterwards. The room rate per night was 200 Euro.
We went to the restaurant opposite the hotel for a light dinner.Baca selengkapnya
