    Hiking

    The lava steps are a beautiful sight. A great circular hiking trail is located right here on the Atlantic coast. A visit is highly recommended and interesting 👍🏻.

    Hiking

    One of the most spectacular and original walks you can do in Tenerife, the Malpaís de Güimar coastal path simply seems to be from another planet.
    Although it is only about 4-5 km between El Socorro and Puertito de Güimar, due to the orography of the terrain you cannot walk at a good pace, so the distance that you would normally cover in an hour takes twice or triple as long.
