The Long Walk Route
This year we plan to walk out of the west side of Las Palmas, Starting at the Alfredo Kraus, and inland from the rugged North Coast of Gran Canaria. We will climbing the old pilgrims paths toward the historic market town of Teror. From there we head in to the heart of the Cumbres to the famous Finca La Isa, which over looks the ancient Caldera de Tejeda.
Day two will be a stroll among the clouds climbing up the final 500m r so to the highest point on Gran Canaria, Pico de Las Nieves for our traditional toast to the Goddesses of these legendary summits; before descending through hillside pine forests and plenty of opportunities to take in the magnificent wild scenery as we head to the southern heartlands and the sacred spaces of the Canario peoples, and the antiquity of San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
The third day will wander through the backs of Maspalomas, through the reservoirs of Ayagaures and down to the sea and the world famous beacon which stands over looking the Calms of Maspalomas, for a photo of everyone who has made it there and supported our journey.
