Under the shadows of Teguerguenche it rises over the bay of Playa Valle Gran Rey. The coastal town of La Puntilla is an ideal base for your adventures in this part of the island.

Valle Gran Rey Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Valle Gran Rey ravine flows from the mountain onto the beach. During the rainy season, there could be flash flooding that overflows the ravine, so be careful during or after storms.

Chapel of the Three Kings (Ermita de los Santos Reyes), Valle Gran Rey

Good place to gather strength before the hike and/or to relax afterwards. There are also many benches in the shade and a view.

Going up from the Valle del Rey ravine, to the Guergenche Mountain, you can see the top of Las Pilas. The contrast with the ocean below is stunning.

La Puntilla Bay below and the Gran Rey Valley can be seen from the top of Las Pilas. After ascending 660 m from sea level, you deserve to get some spectacular panoramic views.

Great views of La Puntilla Bay. The contrast between the deep blue waters and the dark earth of the steep cliffs is incredible natural beauty.

Once again I activated Komoot too late. From the sea it is about 1000 meters above sea level. We had great weather 😊☀️

This morning a strong storm blew through the valley. All the surrounding mountains were covered in fast-moving clouds. This is not the weather for going to the mountains. I tried it a few years ago. You get blown through by a thick drizzle. It is damp, windy, cold and in the "fog" or rather in the clouds there is zero …

Hike from Valle to Teguerguenche with great views of Valle Gran Rey. The views are worth the effort. Take enough to drink with you, as there is almost no shade and no place to stop. After the round above, descend on the same path, as it is clearly visible and safe to walk.

Challenging hike, good fitness, sturdy shoes, surefootedness necessary. Wonderful view of the Valle Gran Rey and the Barranco de Argaga. It is not so easy to find the way on the Las Pilas and the Teguerguenche.

One of the few hikes directly from Valle Gran Rey that can be completed in 4 hours. Those who start early (9:00 a.m.) have a shady ascent. The path is easy to walk, but the steep ascent and descent require a good level of fitness. We were very happy that we used walking shoes and sticks.
We were compensated by …

April 15, 2023,Höhenwanderung Las Pilas und Tequergenche ab El Guro

A strenuous tour, which in my opinion is at best worthwhile because of the views of the valley and the coastal towns. The way up is often full of rubble, the way from Las Pilas to the Tequergenche is hard to find, despite the many "piles of stones".
Las Pilas and even more de Tequergenche resemble a Martian landscape (see …

A solo exit. Today we climb one of the two local mountains, or Haus Hügel. The Tequergenche.
Early start at 8 a.m. so as not to be exposed to the sun right from the start. From the car park in Gudow sesimbra, climb up to the small church. What I don't know at this point is that they don't actually …

Crisp climb, not much going on on the plateau, the path is sometimes difficult to see. Great vision! No shadow. Under no circumstances should the Camino de Leche be chosen as a descent! Better to go back the same way. Sticks are recommended. Take enough water with you as there is no source along the way.
