Lots of bends to the sea
Slowly, I am working my way East in the Anaga mountains: Already on the day before, I had a view of Afur from Taborno. Today, I drove to the former village, and hiked from there to Playa del Tamadite. Continue reading Lots of bends to the sea

From the English peak to Tenerife’s Matterhorn
Today, I opted for a bit shorter hike: First, I descended from Pico del Inglés to Taborno. From there, I circled around Roque de Taborno. Continue reading From the English peak to Tenerife’s Matterhorn

From mountain to sea
I want to dedicate the next few days of my holidays to the Anaga mountains in the North East of the island of Tenerife. In other to get an idea of the different altitude levels of this nature park, I decided to start with a hike from the view point Cruz del Carmen (at almost 1000 metres above sea level) to Punta del Hidalgo (at the coast).

New week, new island
At the start of my second (full) week of holidays on the Canary Islands, I took the ferry to the next island: Tenerife. I will spend the rest of my holidays there – even though the title might indicate that I will be switching islands weekly now. However, Tenerife is larger than Gran Canaria. So, I will (hopefully) not be bored. Continue reading New week, new island

Wild coast, ancient culture
Today, I wanted to visit the town of Gáldar. As the Cueva Pintada, a museum about the pre-hispanic Indigenous inhabitants of the island, only opened at 11 a.m., I also had time for a bit of exploration of the wild West coast to the North of Puerto de las Nieves.

Valley of Wine and Coffee
I was looking forward to today’s hike since I read about it in some blog. The blog authors were praising it highly, so that I had really high expectations. Luckily, the trail did live up to its reputation. So, I had a great (half) day in the Valley of Agaete. Continue reading Valley of Wine and Coffee

The West coast of Gran Canaria
On my last day with a rental car in Gran Canaria, I (once again) explored some windy mountain roads – this time the road connecting the South coast with the West coast of the island. Continue reading The West coast of Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is in Africa!
Today, I said farewell to Gran Canaria’s interior, and returned to the coast. I hiked trough the sand dunes of Maspalomas, which given a certain desert vibe – if it was not for the large number of tourists, that is. Continue reading Gran Canaria is in Africa!

Up to the high view!
Today, I drove a bit further to hike up to Altavista mountain. Already along the hike, I had good views of the plateau of Acusa. So, I checked out this area (with is cave dwellings) as well. Continue reading Up to the high view!

Caldera de Tejeda the Third
In close proximity to my apartment, there are just so many nice hikes. Therefore, I decided not to spend too much time driving around to explore some area further away. Instead, I did another hike at the edge of the Caldera de Tejeda today. Continue reading Caldera de Tejeda the Third

Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda
Today, I wanted to see more of the Caldera de Tejeda – and from higher up. So, I drove to Cruz de Tejeda, some 450 meters of altitude higher than the town of Tejeda itself. From there, I went on a nice circular hike along the ridge line, and down into La Culata. Continue reading Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda

Hiking in the Caldera de Tejeda
I am currently staying in Tejeda, in the centre of Gran Canaria. This area is well-known for its gorgeous hikes, as I could experience today myself – even though I ended up on a different trail than I originally intended to take (due to a trail closure).

Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!
Today is my first “true” vacation day, and I said farewell to Las Palmas. After picking up my rental car, I made my way into the island’s interior, where I will spend the next few days. Mostly, I am planning to go hiking – because this area of Gran Canaria has lots to offer in this regard! Continue reading Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!

Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror

Hiking in Andalusia
My first stay in Spain was not a beach holiday, but rather a hiking trip.
