Stone Path to Fortaleza

Rocky but beautiful road to/from Fortaleza. Olive groves, great views, cacti, spurge. Sturdy shoes are an advantage.

The Cave

Highlight • Cave

This is a better place to park by this rock; there's significantly more space and it's right next to the track. This rock is called "La Fortaleza".

Palm Grove

Highlight • Forest

Beautiful tour, however, we couldn't find a way across the stream. The path simply ended at the waterfall. There were 2 dilapidated houses with holes in the roof, but the path didn't continue.

View of the Barranco Valley and Red Rocks

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb here is quite comfortable. Great views of the valley, the Barranco. If you pass the red rock, you are almost at the top ;-).

This is a fabulous walk starting in the mountains in the pretty village of Santa Lucia. The cave on the archeological site is spectacular and the numerous miradors dotted along the route provide interesting insight into past and present use of the surrounding landscapes

March 12, 2022,20220312 🇪🇸 Gran Canaria: Santa Lucia Runde

Today we changed our accommodation from Agüimes to Tauro near Puerto Rico in the south of the island. On the way we did this beautiful tour from Santa Lucia. Was a completely different area than in the last two days. Much further down, warmer and drier. The round was varied and we liked it, even if it was partly on …

February 27, 2022,Santa Lucia-Fortaleza

The signposted path from Santa Lucia to the archaeological sites near Ingenio, the Fortalezo, is often rocky and then difficult to walk on. Nevertheless, an attractive area: barren, dry fields with lots of lava rock, sparse settlements in the depressions, some of which have fallen into disrepair, the reservoir at the bottom of the valley is not much more than …

July 8, 2023,Chiesa de Santa Lucia – Die Gassen von Santa Lucia Runde von El Sitio de Abajo

A very nice tour. 4* because there is no shade and sometimes the path was a bit more difficult to find.
The tour goes through a few drop-out huts, but very nice. You almost feel like an intruder. But the dropouts are super nice and it's ok for them that the path leads through their little refuge.
All in all …

December 7, 2023,🇪🇸 La Fortaleza Cave Runde von Santa Lucía de Tirajana

Today a hike in the interior of the island. Start at Santa Lucia, then to the Roques Fortaleza and back via a different route.
The hike itself is not very demanding, but you have spectacular views of huge mountain ridges all around you. At the Roques de Fortaleza it almost looks a bit like the Grand Canyon.
The journey to …
