LA PALMA - LA ISLA BONITA

Davvero un bel giro ad anello, fattibile anche per escursionisti inesperti e che possiamo consigliare. Dal punto di partenza vicino al vecchio mulino di Santo Domingo de Garafia siamo andati per la prima volta sul sentiero escursionistico costiero GR 130 attraverso il bellissimo Barranco de la Luz con… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

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… leggi altro

L'escursione dall'Ermita Virgen del Pino alla Cumbrecita è per noi una delle escursioni più belle della Palma, non solo per il bellissimo sentiero, ma anche per i magnifici panorami. Anche questa volta abbiamo avuto un tempo soleggiato fantastico con temperature piacevoli. La Cumbrecita offriva una vista… leggi altro

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… leggi altro
