    Trail description

    The trail starts in the hamlet of Las Vegas (in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona) and journeys through farmland scenery before gradually leading you into the pine forest. The path carries on upwards, running alongside a tongue of dry lava up to the foot of Risco del Muerto. You will then venture into the area of El Sombrío and on to Era de La Abejera along the Los Cardos path. After that, you will soon come to the old Chasna pathway and the house of Casa de La Florida. Leaving the house behind you, you will reach the Madre del Agua track where it joins the PR-TF 83 Altos de Granadilla trail.
