LA PALMA - LA ISLA BONITA

Un recorrido de ida y vuelta realmente agradable que también es factible para excursionistas inexpertos, que podemos recomendar. Desde el punto de partida cerca del antiguo molino de Santo Domingo de Garafia, primero tomamos la ruta de senderismo costera GR 130 a través del realmente hermoso Barranco… Leer más

With great weather, we were finally able to do our long-planned hiking tour to Cumbrecita. The starting point was the beautiful Virgen del Pino church on the PR LP 1 hiking trail above El Paso. We followed this a bit towards Reventon and then turned left towards Cumbrecita. The narrow path, which is… Leer más

Cubo de la Galga the other way around. We walked from the bus stop on the LP1 in La Galga on the yellow hiking trail PR LP 5.1, initially steeply up to the Mirador de la Somada Alta, which offers breathtaking views over the entire north-east of the island. From there continue on the 5.1 in the direction… Leer más

Today we were happy about the nice weather and a clear sky, but later we would have wished for a few clouds, because on the steep climb to the Mirador de Los Dragos (in several steps) we got really sweaty. We were rewarded with beautiful views of Puntagorda and the Barranco de Garome. On the way back… Leer más

If good weather is promised for the East, you have to take advantage of it. Sunshine accompanied us on our way up from La Sociedad (PR LP 18.2 - yellow trail) past two very beautiful crosses. Soon it went into the heather bush forest with its beautiful sunken paths, and then the fog came. We took a break… Leer más

The sky has been blue again for 14 days, a blessing. Even if there is still a lot of dust in the air. We first hiked up the Camino Ganigua (SL LP 71), past many blooming almond trees. At Cruz de Llano we went to the Traviesa (PR LP 10), into the beautiful Palmerian pine forest. The path is very nicely… Leer más

The starting point of today's hike was again the Camino de Ganigua. Actually, rain was announced, but the weather turned out to be very good, the higher we got, the sunnier and clearer it became, until the fog finally reached us at the edge of the Barranco de Angustias. So the desired view of the Aridane… Leer más

If the weather is perfect, go up to the edge of the caldera to take some nice photos, that's our idea. But La Palma has moody weather. Shortly before reaching the Risco de Pareditas, fog came up and covered the entire caldera. We also had no view from Torre El Time. We were compensated for this by the… Leer más

Despite the bad weather forecast, we decided to take a short circular route from Tijarafe to the Poris de Candelaria. From a small parking lot next to the road, we first went steeply down the serpentine road to the sea. We had looked at the Poris itself last year, so we went up the steep path on the… Leer más

A very nice, but also very strenuous tour. Started in the sun at the Refugio Tinizara at almost 1300 m (by the way, a possible starting point for other beautiful hikes), arrived at the Roque de los Muchachos in fog. The hiking trail to the MAGIC telescopes is nice, but the last 3.5 km of the regular… Leer más

The Camino de la Rosa (PR LP 11 - yellow marking) starts above the LP1 in Puntagorda and is one of our favorite paths, varied, mostly shady and not overcrowded (not currently anyway). It finally leads up to the Roque de Muchachos and overcomes about 1600 meters in altitude. We were "satisfied" with more… Leer más

Currently, the meteorologists are wrong with their weather forecast for La Palma. Unlike last time, this time in our favor. In wonderful sunny weather we started in Puntagorda at the Iglesia San Mauro Abad, where several hiking trails cross, heading south and initially followed the coastline with great… Leer más

We started today's hike at the beautiful hiking car park Pino de la Virgen. Coming from Mazo, the access road from the LP2 is just before Fuencaliente and is signposted. From there it first went through the lava field of the Martin, called Malpais, and then up an unsigned pista and again through the… Leer más

Today we have partly gone new ways for ourselves. From the center of Las Tricias we followed an old camino, which is not marked as a hiking trail, initially downhill and along the deep Barranco de Izcagua. Again and again there were wonderful views of the Barranco and across to Puntagorda. Almond trees… Leer más

Due to the currently very warm weather, it made sense to hike in the rather cool north again. We had a beautiful day, total solitude, didn't see any other hikers, lots of beautiful forest trails, good air.

However, we had to master a challenge after just under 1.5 km. A brazen pasture owner had simply… Leer más

Small Sunday tour to friends in Tijarafe. Once again shows that the micro weather in La Palma is difficult to predict. In the afternoon rain was announced and we had really great dry weather until sunset.

The Camino de Jurado is always an experience and good for beautiful photos.

For a large part of the… Leer más

You should check the weather forecast before you go. Despite the coastal warning, we wanted to do a longer hike (there was no wind at Tijarafe where we live), but the extremely strong wind thwarted our plans. You could hardly hold your cell phone steady, it was blowing so hard from the sea. So it became… Leer más

La Palma has many old caminos that are not mapped and sometimes overgrown badly. You can sometimes go in the wrong direction. Happened to us this time before we found the right path through the Barranco on the second attempt. You then walk on the Camino de Molina (tar road) parallel to LP 1 above El… Leer más

La ruta desde la Ermita Virgen del Pino hasta la Cumbrecita es para nosotros una de las rutas más bonitas de La Palma, no solo por la belleza del camino, sino también por las magníficas vistas. Esta vez también tuvimos un fantástico clima soleado con temperaturas agradables. La Cumbrecita ofreció una… Leer más

A hike through the untouched north. It was very cold at night, so some puddles still had a thin layer of ice. It's hard to believe that 40 km further south it is 15 ° C at night. Because of the heavy rain this year everything is very green and the paths are partly overgrown. Just before Las Goteras especially… Leer más
