November 3, 2024,Tenerife 🇪🇸 — Küstenwanderung in Buenavista del Norte - El Puertito, Charco los Topos, Tunta de Buenavista, Casago El Rayo & Faro de Buenavista

My 3rd hike on Tenerife was a relaxed recreational tour along the north coast near Buenavista del Norte. I started in El Puertito and followed the path past the Charco Los Topos and the Punta de Buenavista. I continued through the picturesque landscape of Casago El Rayo to the Faro de Buenavista, the lighthouse that marked the end of this …

Not an exciting or challenging walk. But a pleasent enough flat coastal walk. Often windy.

January 12, 2022,2022-01-12 Küstenwanderung bei Los Silos

The hardest tour for me so far was a simple hike on the beach near Los Silos, because with an air temperature of around 20 ° C, but with constant sun, my heat instability limited my performance. In addition, during the break at the lighthouse I discovered that I had the second bottle with me, but that there was no …

Actually it should be a bit cloudy today, hence the plan to do a coastal hike. Arrived there best sunshine. When hiking, you had the feeling of walking through a desert. Luckily you had the Atlantic to cool down. At the end of the hike we stopped at a local restaurant. The decision was absolutely right. Cooled off inside and …

Wonderful route along the coast, which is very picturesquely rugged here due to the strong surf.

May 25, 2022,Schroffe Küste von Los Silos bis Buenavista

A coastal hike with -> many charcos (natural swimming pools) -> a bufadero (blowhole) -> exciting rocks -> lots of sea and even sea urchins :)

If you fancy a relaxing round by the sea, this is the place for you.

Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy at the beginning. (pleasant for hiking - not so nice for the photos)
