Laguna to Santa Cruz

This is a linear tour from Laguna to Santa Cruz. I started recording from the Plaza de El Cristo and before setting made a quick visit to Real Santuario del Cristo de La Laguna. There is quite a large old section of Laguna with many interesting buildings to be explored, if you have the time.
My route was then straight out of town going through residential housing before reaching Camino El Bronco, a tarmacced road that I had to climb up. I continued on the road until I saw a sign on my right saying Los Valles. The path began as a concrete path with stones embedded to aid grip, but it was very steep and I took my time descending. It then became a normal path.
At the bottom I missed the path I should have taken because it wasn’t particularly visible so carried on the path I could see. That was a mistake since it was overgrown in lots of places. Eventually, I listened to my SatNav, turned around and found the correct path, which eventually became a concrete path before reaching Los Valles. There is a metal signpost where the path to the left meets the one you are on.
The way next was on a tarmacced road, where the going was easy.
I had a bit of difficulty finding my way at Valle Tabares. When I came to the road TF-111, I took the broad path off to the right, but the path I should have been on was less visible and was to the left of the broad path. The path leads down and follows the contours of the valley eventually reaching a road.
There is then a climb up a dirt path to a small rest point where there a great views.
From there the path the path hugs the side of the mountain and slowly descends. I found this the most interesting part of the tour, but it requires concentration and is not to be rushed. It has signposts saying things like territory of the witches, dead leaf, etc. This way is known as the Camino las Lecheras.
Eventually I came to a point with a signpost from which I could see parking some hundred or so kilometres ahead, but I couldn’t see the way down! At first I thought it was to the left of this signpost (called Lomo Colorado), but discovered it was to the right. It was just a short way until I reached some proper steps leading down to the road. At the bottom of the steps was the Cueva Rojo, a huge open cave.
I followed the road down towards town and found myself wandering narrow alleys between houses until I found steps called Cien Escalones that led down to a road.
I had intended to walk to the Intercambiador to get the bus back to Puerto de la Cruz, but a bus came along that was going there, so I decided to get it and only stopped the tracking when I got to the bus station.
Camino Las Lecheras is the most interesting part of this tour with some great views. However, you need a head for heights and I would advise doing the tour if it is windy.
