View of El Golfo from the Mirador de Bascos

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although the viewpoint itself is currently closed, the views from the surrounding area are just as spectacular. As it is a cliff, it is possible to walk near the edge to obtain spectacular views of the El Golfo valley from different perspectives.

El Sabinar (Centuries-old Sabina Forest)

Highlight • Forest

This forest of centuries-old junipers has been sculpted by the strong trade winds over time. The result is twisted trees that resist the force of the wind with forms between desperate and aerodynamic that are an example of extreme adaptation.

Snail Cave

Highlight • Cave

It is a small village of old cave-houses. Some of them can be visited. It is an amazing and beautiful place.

Hermitage of the Virgin of the Kings

Highlight • Religious Site

In this place, the saints of the island are found, which the locals ceremoniously parade on the designated dates.

From here, you can walk to the famous juniper trees bent by the wind in the juniper forest and a little further away is the Bascos viewpoint.

October 1, 2024,El Sabinar de La Dehesa – ruta circular

Highly recommended for the variety of natural surroundings. However, keep in mind that you will usually encounter strong winds along much of the route and fog. This wind gives the juniper forest its unique appearance.
We did not complete the descent to Sabinosa.

We were woken by the loud patter of rain 🌧️ and quickly decided to wait a bit and then do a shorter hike than planned. Unfortunately, this meant missing out on the Orchilla lighthouse in the far southwest 😢, but it would have been a challenge to reach without our own car anyway.

We were unlucky. La Calima covered the sun. The wind tore at our ears, it was cold and grey. The Mirador Bascos is falling apart and has been closed. Not a highlight, unfortunately.

A very beautiful, varied tour. It starts at the Santurio Nuestra Senora de los Reyes, the starting point of the Bajada. It's not far to the windswept junipers. The Mirador de Bascos is closed due to the danger of collapse. Visit at your own risk. Don't let the weather deter you on the ascent.

November 3, 2022,El Sabinar – Windflüchter, die sich den Fallwinden beugen

El Sabinar is a juniper forest, on a green plateau with many smaller volcanoes. It's not really a forest. An open area where several Sabinas grow is better. The Sabina is a juniper tree bent by the wind. The trees are pushed to the ground by the trade winds and take on bizarre shapes. The trunks are gnarled and twisted. …

Today I got to experience the trade winds of the Canary Islands. Right in my face. Then every step you take is just that little bit harder. Then it is nice to see how nature itself deals with it. How trees grow with the wind. Twisting in the weirdest corners and still being able to live.
I am also surprised …
