this is the most wonderful walk i ever made during my various stays on La Palma. it starts down by…read morethe beach in Puerto Tazacorte, between the restaurants. first it is a narrow path between little huts and banana plants, then it continiously climbs and becomes rather steep - however you do not have to be experienced alpine climbers to manage the way up, you need only good shoes (no sandals, probably a lethal mistake) an average condition. you are rewarded with some of the most spectacular views over the blue sea, the bay, the rocks and eypecially the phantastic canyon, the barranco that comes down from the caldera. phantastic plants are growing and blossoming in the rocks, and there is always a bit space between you and the abyss - good for me, i never liked looking down too much, but the view is really wonderful up there. the hardest part is over after 350 meters up, then it is not that steep anymore, however it is another 300 m higher to getto the mirador, where you can relax in the little café and enjoy more phantastic views from the terrace which is hanging over the canyon. if you come to Palma do not miss this walk, you will regret it!
