Itinerary description

Huhh, that was definitely one of the hardest treks I've done in Gran Canaria.

But it is so wonderful, so impressive!
Epic trail!

The ascent part is very technical, full with climbs. The surface is simply perfect for climbing, one of my favorite ones. The views are breathtaking, riscos and panorama all along. I enjoyed it a lot.

The second part is a real leg-killer, especially the descent to Arteara (from 850 m to 350 m) on rough, stony trails. Still, it is an interesting route to get to know some special geographical points of interest.

I followed (more or less) this tour:

Many thanks to Nieves and Joangomo for doing and sharing this tour and the GPS data.
It was very inspirating and helpful. Without this guidance, I could not have done it.

And I'm really happy I did. :)
