We had a great meal in the small fish restaurant. Absolutely great authentic Canarian food and very reasonable prices too.
It was full of Spaniards at 2pm.

Nice little walk. We started the little hike in the fishing village of Tajao so that we could stop there at the end of the tour. There are lots of small, delicious-looking restaurants there.

Nice, relaxed walk near Tajao. Unfortunately, I didn't remember that it was Saturday. Lots of people / sandal hikers at the rock arch - accordingly, the restaurants in town were full. But the weather was good - fellow hikers were good - food was good - so everything was good again 👋👋

All good things come in threes – so today we did three shorter hikes to recover, change sides of the island, and recharge for tomorrow.

Our second stop was the Arco de Tajao, combined with a short hike through the Barranka forest. Afterwards, we stopped briefly at a local fish restaurant – absolutely delicious! 😋

Because we wanted to pick up Karl from the airport, we planned a stopover for the hike to the Arco de Tajao. Because time was running out, we didn't make the last stretch to the stone arch. But we saw him from afar 🤣. We must go there again.

Our last walk on the way to the airport. We wanted to see the Arco de Tajao rock arch. It's a very barren, dry, and windy corner of the island. But the rock formations are truly impressive. We got lost three times on our short hike; Komoot doesn't seem to know the area very well 😜
