San Sebastián de la Gomera walks

A seaside trail that takes us from San Sebastian de la Gomera Beach to La Guancha Beach. The trail runs along the entire seafront, with beautiful views of San Sebastian as well as Tenerife and the Téïde Volcano, Spain's highest peak.

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.

Hermigua is a village that stretches along the Monteforte barranco. Nestling in a ravine as far as the eye can see, it ends at Santa Catalina beach. Our hike will take us from Santa Catalina beach to La Caleta beach.

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!

This is an easy, shady hike in the Garajonay National Park.

From forest to beach, a pleasant way to discover the island of La Gomera.

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.

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.

A very pretty, easy hike that begins with the village of El Guro, a very typical village with highly decorated houses.The path then climbs along the Barranco de Arrure to a small waterfall.

A short circular walk on the Teno Alto plateau, inspired by the "Teno Alto Self-Guided Trail" on the website www.tenerifeon.es. We start from the small plaza in the center of the village (plaza de Teno). The route begins on paths through pastures between farms where goats are raised and cheese made. The village is then reached by skirting a volcanic hill with caves. Beautiful views of the countryside, pastures, the sea, the Isle of Gomora and Teide. At the end, a final round-trip section with shaded sections offers a view of Punta del Teno. At the time of the walk (mid-November 2023), the Los Bailadreros bar was open in the village and connected to the square, where we were able to eat and drink. In fact, it's frequented by many hikers on much longer treks.

This round trip hike from the Mirador Altos de Baracan car park on the ridge will take you through the spectacular landscapes of Baracán via the Macizo de Teno ridge.

El Barranco del Infierno, the ravine of hell, named for its steep terrain, is located in the town of Adeje, in the south-west of Tenerife. It is a magnificent hike due to its vegetation and views of the coast.This hike is a round trip and there is a fee. However, it is well worth the investment of €15 per person.Although the number of people is limited on the site, it is still quite busy. The waterfall at the end of the hike is nothing special, but it is located in a superb setting.Important note: the elevation gain is 350 m, not 900 m as indicated on the information sheet.

An easy family hike that allows you to admire the last volcano to emerge in Tenerife by walking around it. You will walk among the volcanic fallout on a good path. The massif is dotted with pine trees, some denser than others.

Magnificent, easy hike through a fairy-tale forest, past a black volcano and rocky landscapes. Easy and beautiful. Done with children aged 6 and 9, without any problems.

Easy hike on a well-marked trail. Beautiful views of the ocean and La Gomera in a mountainous environment with Canary Island pine trees.

An easy loop through an incredible volcanic landscape. A must-see in the Teide National Park.

After a fairly steep climb, walk along the heights of Garachico with beautiful views of the coast. Return to Garachico not recorded, but possible along the road. Please note that access to the banana plantations from El Guincho beach is not possible.
