Itinerary description

A beautiful track along the northern seaside of the island. Really recommendable! I started at 10.30am. If you want to, take the way to Faro de Cotillo - you'll see a peaceful, not overcrowded place to sit down for a while. Pay attention to the sculptures all around you which are builded by hikers. Then follow the sandy road unfortunately accompanied by lots of cars. Please beware of the sandclouds which follow the cars - hold on breathing for a moment ;). That's why I chose the intersection to the left in the small village Majanicho. This is not a sandy street anymore but a stony way. That was a really good decision because you can see so much incredible waves with surfers on top and lonely bays. And you'll be alone on this way - that is an advantage. Then joining the sandy road again, you see beautiful landscape and mountains. After 5.15mins I reached the Corralejo bus station and took the bus no. 8 back to El Cotillo after a coffee in the cafeteria on the other side of the street Avenida Juan Carlos.
Advise: take sunprotection, enough water (at least 2ltrs p.p.) and a lunch package with you, because there is no possibility to get anything on the way except you ask some of the driving tourists or surfers ;)
