February 28, 2024,von Las Tricias zu Drachenbäumen und Wohnhöhlen

Beautiful hike that we did 11 years ago today in fantastic weather and we were very lucky that the Café Aloe Vera happened to be open. Last year it was closed. This year it opens by arrangement with customers or by chance.

Lots of dogs, cats, chickens, goats and lots of hikers. If you like it... It was a bit too much for me. Nevertheless great to get to know the country life once. Not particularly tiring.
