Itinerary description

<<< English follows >>> Esta ruta es interesante porque no hay gente y el paisaje es precioso. Tras dejar el coche junto al bar O Pastel (N 32° 44.537' - W 16° 46.497') se suben un montón de escaleras hasta llegar al camino. Nosotros hemos encontrado dos opciones, la A y la B. Se camina hacia el Norte hasta llegar a la fachada Norte de la isla. Caminando hacia el Oeste se sigue un camino estrecho, en ocasiones asegurado con una cuerda. Lo hicimos en un día nublado pero tiene pinta de ser muy soleado. No apto para gente con vértigo. Muy verde. Una vez que se alcanza la fachada norte se puede caminar lo que se quiera sin ningún desnivel. Nosotros llegamos hasta un lugar que hemos bautizado el Trono del Mundo. Ve y entenderás por qué. Es un paseo aconsejable, fácil y entretenido. <<< English >>> This route is interesting because there are no people and the landscape is beautiful. After leaving the car next to the coffee-bar "O Pastel" (N 32° 44.537' - W 16° 46.497') climb a lot of steps until you reach the trail. We have found two options A and B. Walk North until you reach the North facade of the island. Walking towards the West is a narrow path, sometimes secured by a rope. We did it on a cloudy day, but it seems to be very sunny. Not suitable for people with vertigo. Very green. Once the North facade is reached you can walk whatever you want without any slope. We got to a place that we have named the Throne of the World. Go and you'll understand why. It is advisable walk, easy and entertaining
