Part of this route I have to thank Santi1964.
I thought it was a pretty nice route along the Gáldar coast, we started from the Barranco de Moreno, to pass Puerto Nuevo and then the Roque Prieto beach, which has a wonderful natural pool, we continued along the coast along trails and tracks until we reached Caleta de Arriba, which has seemed to me a charming town and you can see that its neighbors are trying to make it beautiful.
Unfortunately along the route there are some illegal dumps and some areas that are not clean with rubble.
On the route there are several archaeological sites, but they are all closed and can only be seen from outside.
We will reach the marvelous promenade of the beach and pool of the Hole, from it we will soon arrive at the Dos Roques beach.
Later we will continue to El Clavo another beautiful neighborhood where there is a fantastic natural pool from where we appreciate the Gáldar mountain.
We will continue along the coast and arrive at Caleta de Abajo, which also has its charm.
The road becomes even drier and we continue on a path high on the cliffs, the path and the tracks are safe, but there are people who can make this route dizzying, so I do not recommend it.
We will pass through a neighborhood the Barranco del Vino that seems to be abandoned and in ruins, we will continue to the point of Gáldar where there is another beautiful natural pool.
Then we will reach the Sardina lighthouse that is at the tip of the same name, from it we will go through a path to an urbanization and through its lower edge we will once again ascend to the Cumbrecillas where we will have a splendid view towards the mountains from the village road. .
I decided to make the last hill on an abandoned street because tiredness also took its toll and we will soon reach Sardina del Norte and the road ends near the beach.
To return or we have another car previously parked in Sardina, or what I did I returned to Galdar in Guagua GUzman every half hour (see summer hours) 1.4 euros and in Galdar 6.20 euros by Taxi to the Barranquillo de Moreno .
I hope that the City Council of Gáldar helps to fix this splendid route that if it were clean and a little more well-groomed would be magnificent.
There is no sign so we will need to download the track so that we can not be mistaken because there are multiple fishermen sidewalks that go to the coast and it is impossible to indicate all the crossings.
The wind is almost constant, so do not go near the cliffs. Take 2.5 liters of liquids.
HIKING OVERVIEW (although for this kick, many are not necessary)
I put many photos, because my impressions are subjective and with them each one can make his impression of the route, its landscapes and its difficulties.The photos are grouped in waypoint, which means that they are at that point or around him.
RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT, that it is not appreciated that we have been. NEVER LEAVE GARBAGE (not even organic), nobody will pick it up and you will degrade the place, for those who come behind, that can be you (when you return). Thank you.
When we stop, check that we left absolutely nothing to restart the march (I have found glasses, knives, binoculars, it is useful to identify them, name and mobile).
Always respect the flora and fauna, paying special attention not to damage the plant populations of the council.
In the Canary Islands there are abundant archaeological remains of the Canarian aborigines, they must be cared for and respected, they have been there for centuries. Do not modify or damage them.
If you see an attack on these, please inform the Civil Guard 062 or the heritage department of the Cabildo GC 928 454 006 email patrimonio@grancanaria.com (Do not remain indifferent, do not pass, it is our history).
Remember that for hiking you always have to have common sense, know the limitations of each one and those of those who accompany us. Many trails are run down or sometimes non-existent. Plan or follow a route and observe the unevenness of the ascent or descent.
Never go near the precipices, sometimes there are unpredictable wind blows. Try not to step on steep and less wet surfaces (Better, sit and slide).
It is essential to be federated in mountain sports and insured, in 2018 the Canarian autonomous license is 29 euros a year and for all of Spain 60 euros.
If there is an accident, never leave the injured person, call 112 on the mobile phone, in areas without coverage carry a free-use station (NO license required) CHANNEL 7 SUBTONO 7 (446.08125 Mhz Subtone 85.4). More information at http: // www .canal77pmr.com. Respect this frequency only for emergencies.
An emergency blanket (gold-silver) and whistle is a must. The SOS morse signal is three short beeps, three long beeps and three short beeps.
(S = · · ·), (O = - - -), (S = · · ·). The signal can also be made with the flashlight. A small mirror (from the Chinese) can also get us out of trouble.
Never lose your cool, let alone hope and faith that everything will be solved.
Always wear more shelter than we think we need for the expected weather conditions.
The abundant water 1.5 liters in winter and 3 or more in summer (sources in the province of Las Palmas, are almost non-existent) as well as electrolyte tablets (especially magnesium Mg), the highly energetic food (nuts , energy bars or chocolate (always in the deepest part of the backpack, so that it does not melt)) is always necessary.
A good wide-brimmed hat is always recommended. FP 50+ sun protection is also required.
The islands are very rocky so footwear should always be mountain, sneakers on very few trails are useful.The foot that is less protected with them, the sole will slip more and you will end up more ground your foot.
GPS is currently essential because there is not always signaling and a spare battery for it, it is a good idea.
Learning to use the Gps is important, first rehearse in the streets or parks.
Telescoping hiking poles are very useful on ascents or descents and to defend ourselves against a loose dog.
Mobile coverage can vary greatly in the depths of ravines, slopes and caves, in many there is none with our operator and it does not even allow us to make emergency calls with the other operators, my impression is that movistar and vodafone are the ones with the highest coverage.Many times you can have voice coverage but not data.
Sometimes it can be done at night and the phone usually has a flashlight, but we must carry a small flashlight, because the battery of the phone must be kept for an emergency.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO FIRE outside the areas designated for it, the island is very dry, THE RISK OF FIRE IS VERY HIGH.
And above all, enjoy this exciting sport and share the tracks.

Gracias por los créditos, aunque a mi me llevaron por esta ruta, que no conocía, y lo subí en su momento para que disfrutaran de los rincones escondidos de esta isla

Me gustaria dar la vuelta a la isla de Gran Canaria por la costa pero no tengo suficiente información sobre ello.
Siempre pensando en riesgo cero. Si hay que desplazarse hacia el interior no me importa.
Tengo dudas sobre los siguientes tramos:
01. Llanos de Parra hasta barranquillo de Moreno.
02. Desde Agaete hasta La Aldea. Subir hasta Tamadaba y bajar al Risco. Y desde alli ir por el Anden del Cartero hasta La Aldea. ¿?
03. Tasartico hasta Puerto de Mogán.
04. La isleta. Es zona militar. ¿?.
Cualquier ayuda sera bienvenida.
Saludos Cordiales.
Perdón. Se me olvidaba la 05. La zona donde se encuentra Unelco en la entrada a la capital. Hay que pedir permiso¿?. Saludos Cordiales.

As the author points out the illegal dumping is prevalent, but keep your eyes on the sea to enjoy the trail.

Hice esta ruta la semana pasada. Nos gusto mucho pero cogimos un día de mucho viento y no pudimos disfrutarla como se merece. Salí de Roque Prieto, dejando un coche antes en Caleta de Abajo. Al llegar allí seguimos hasta el Faro de Sardina pero como digo el viento no invitaba a seguir. Muchas gracias por compartir!!!
