Adventurous tour in the green north of the island... including a short rain shower. From the beautiful town of Firgas (where Firgas mineral water comes from) - we went down into the Barranco de Azuaje.

Super nice round trip in a gorge with almost jungle vegetation. Waterproof footwear is advisable for many passages. :)
2 small via ferratas have to be mastered, which are secured with ropes. The last approx. 3km are to be walked on small side roads. In Firgas we can recommend the "EL CHIRINGUITO" as a stop. Typical bar/restaurant/grill.
