La Gomera and the Las Creces garden
Park near the Las Creces garden hotel. Walk up to the bend and turn left, following the GR® trail. Follow it to Las Creces. There is a table and chairs for picnics. Head towards Las Hayas and follow the path until you reach the way you came. Do not follow Las Hayas to the end, but take the pretty path on the right. Once on the road, turn right. And you're back.

The hike begins in the peaceful village of Chipude and leads through the small villages of Apartadero and Pavon to the foot of La Fortaleza, the sacred mountain of the Guanches.It is possible to climb to its summit (1,243 m). It is believed that the ancient inhabitants of the island cherished this mountain because of its unusual shape. It is a gift from the gods. In any case, on a clear day, it can be seen from the neighbouring island of La Palma!

Departure from Valle Gran Rey (Province de Las Palmas)
We're discovering the wonderful landscapes of La Gomera, an island in the Canary archipelago 35km from Tenerife, which is unspoilt by tourism and a hiker's paradise.
A fairly challenging route from the village of Arure to Taguluche, 800m below. The descent is steep, but the scenery is breathtaking.
A very mineral landscape, then a final descent through tiered gardens to finish on the lava paths by the sea.
