A Challenging Hike Around and About Montaña Guama …
We hastily changed our walking plans yesterday as the hills above Guia de Isora were IN, not under, cloud. Which most likely meant wet walking. Plan B was the south Teno mountains. Montaña Guama in particular. Not the easiest hike ever, but the stunning views all around make it all worthwhile …

Walk (47) Playa Paraiso-El Puertito Circular (Adeje)
See some fascinating coastal rock formations on this short circular walk from Playa Paraiso to the pretty bay of Puertito de Armeñime on Costa Adeje. Initially, we mainly follow a route along low cliffs. Returning, we circle the multi-coloured Bahia Principe hotel complex and there is an opportunity to visit the Dzamling Gar centre between walk waypoints 
20 and 21 where yoga, dance and song developed within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition are celebrated. Although there is much to admire on this route, walkers should be aware that discarded waste from seaside campers is an unfortunate aspect, in places …

Walk (46) Chiguergue-Aripe-Chirche Circular (Guia de Isora)
We enjoyed the company of close family, the Proctors from Dyce, Scotland, on this hugely enjoyable and scenic walk. They also enthusiastically assisted in signposting the route for our Waypoint photos (see links to Route Guide PDF and Photos).
This is a moderately strenuous circular route between three pretty hill villages in Guia de Isora. Chiguergue, Aripe and Chirche, each settlement playing a part in the agricultural development of this area from the 17th Century onwards. The difficult volcanic terrain is 
extensively terraced and criss-crossed with rough paths, passing some threshing circles (eras) along the way. There are great views all-around, and across to La Gomera …

Masca … Beautiful … Weird … Scary …!
We’ve wanted to walk the Masca Gorge since getting here. It was worth the wait – beautiful, weird, a little scary in places and lots of wildlife as walking companions …

The Masca Gorge Experience…!
It was a hot and muggy day to embark on the famous Masca Gorge walk in the Teno Mountains. Because of the present conditions of temperature inversion, it was 24°C when we left the coast at 07:00 and 28°C when we arrived at our start point in Masca village at 700 m high in the hills an hour later! After the walk, a swim in the sea, our boat trip to Los Gigantes, and return to the mountains to pick up the car around 13:00, it was 38°C in Masca! Our new neighbour, Darren, an 
experienced Masca hand from Dublin (and, as it turns out, a qualified mountain guide!) expertly led us down the quite challenging, but spectacular, route …

El Jaral to El Choro and Back …
We’d wanted to do this walk for weeks but it is high up in the hills with a couple of steep climbs, so it was an early start this morning to let us be well on before the sun got too high. As it was, the clouds started to roll in part-way through and we walked in a pleasant 20°C. Such stunning countryside and views all around us …

High and Mighty …!
During this morning’s walk from the village of El Jaral, 750 m high in the fertile hills above Playa San Juan, we remembered taking a photo of a little squash plant growing under a door when we visited in mid-June. Today, 6 weeks later, that little plant has become a very big plant indeed …!
