Are there any night hikes / guided star viewings? We are staying at the parador on 26th April, which is a Sunday night.
Would it be possible to send me some walking routes suitable for children – youngest age 9. We are coming to Tenerife at the end of July and have arranged a permit to see the crater, but would love to spend the morning seeing more of the national park.
Thank you
Julie
