Playa de Santiago on the island of La Gomera
Depart from the beach car park. Pick up the GR®. Climb up to the Hotel del Jardín de Tecina (the one in Hait). Beautiful view of the beach and the valley. Turn right to walk along the golf course. Descend to the junction with the two GR symbols. Take the superb panoramic path that returns along the cliff. Of course, you can continue on to Tapahuga beach. Head towards the Fred Olsen building and turn left along the banana plantation. You are now back along the gulf.

Departure from Vallehermoso (Province de Las Palmas)
This walk in the peaceful village of Chipude leads, via the small villages of Apartadero and Pavón, 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 thought that the island’s ancient inhabitants 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!
