Beautiful walk, but be careful, no shade! Avoid doing it like we did in the afternoon.😃
We were unlucky. La Calima covered the sun. The wind tore at our ears, it was cold and grey. The Mirador Bascos is falling apart and has been closed. Not a highlight, unfortunately.
El Sabinar is a juniper forest, on a green plateau with many smaller volcanoes. It's not really a forest. An open area where several Sabinas grow is better. The Sabina is a juniper tree bent by the wind. The trees are pushed to the ground by the trade winds and take on bizarre shapes. The trunks are gnarled and twisted. The twisted growth is considered to be unique in the world. Actually a promising tour, but it only went a little higher through clouds.
Today I got to experience the trade winds of the Canary Islands. Right in my face. Then every step you take is just that little bit harder. Then it is nice to see how nature itself deals with it. How trees grow with the wind. Twisting in the weirdest corners and still being able to live. I am also surprised again. The green grasslands with stone walls remind me a lot of my GB Divide I rode earlier this year. The views take your breath away time and again. And the fact that you don't meet anyone at all is also special. The last part on 'the road' (wide rocky gravel path) is a bit boring, but you can look around endlessly without stumbling.
A very beautiful, varied tour. It starts at the Santurio Nuestra Senora de los Reyes, the starting point of the Bajada. It's not far to the windswept junipers. The Mirador de Bascos is closed due to the danger of collapse. Visit at your own risk. Don't let the weather deter you on the ascent. The second part of the tour is a gnarled climb of a good 2.5 km to the Mirador Sabinosa. Bring plenty of water and walking sticks.
