Description
This route starts at Plaza de Las Libreas (El Palmar) and heads towards Las Lagunetas along Camino Las Huertas, a continuous but gentle ascent.
Leave the village behind and head towards Las Portelas, then take Camino de El Medio. This is a traditional old camino real (“royal road” or main island route) that will take you to Albergue de Bolico, a hostel next to the Cumbres de Bolico viewpoint and its spectacular panoramic views of the Teno Rural Park.
From here the path continues gently uphill along Camino de Las Barreras, entering the monteverde forest and passing Casas de la Cumbre, the former dwellings of the tenant farmers of Finca de Bolico.
The route ends at Plaza de Santiago del Teide, the square in the centre of the town.
