Start:Park as you leave Arona, heading for Vilaflor, on the left at the Olivers restaurant. Parking is limited to two cars at most, but more generous parking is available 200m after the next bend.
(S/E) From the road, take the path over the Barranco del Medio without really noticing it. Keep left on the path to reach a signpost.
(1) Continue straight on towards Suarez, leaving the small tile-roofed building on your left, and enter the pretty Barranco del Rey gorge. At the bottom of the gorge, climb up the path that continues directly opposite. On the other side of the gorge, the path climbs gently between Mont Suarez and Roque del Conde.
(2) Magnificent views over the Adeje valley, between Roque del Conde and Suarez. Turn right to climb the western flank of Suarez.
(3) Arrive on a small plateau with low cave entrances on the right, where you can stand upright once inside. Further on, a circular threshing floor, and to the East, in the valley leading down to the Barranco de Rey, a small farmhouse and agricultural terraces still in good condition.
The steeper path then climbs the slopes of Roque Imoque.
(4) At the pass, between Roque de los Bezos and Roque Imoque, descend to the right towards the Barranco del Rey. In the rock, on the ground, a marine fossil. Continue straight on to descend into the Barranco del Rey.
(5) At the bottom of the gorge, exit directly onto the path that climbs to the left. At the top, turn right and follow the path along the ridge between the Barrancos del Rey and del Médio. Reach the El Refugio hotel-restaurant.
(6) Continue straight ahead, following the ridge line. Then find a path leading to an abandoned farmhouse on the rocky spur between Barranco del Reu and del Medio.
(7) Ignore the path on the right here and take the track on the left, in the rocky outcrop, which slopes gently down towards the sea horizon of the island's southern tip. Then turn left to reach the starting car park(S/E).
