After two nights here, it’s time to move on.

Today started out with a bit of the same as yesterday: took the bus again to Vega de Río Palmas and started to walk from there. But instead of following my planned route on the GR131, I hike south towards Tiscamanita, because unfortunately along the GR there is no (available) accomodation and no reasonable buses.

Again it’s starting up steep-ish on a nice gravel path.

Quite soon I’m at the pass, where the trail turns and follows the ridge line. Beautiful views on both sides.

And before I know it, I’m at the highest point (a ‘side top’ to Gran Montaña) at approximately 675m asl (just shy of 400m above Vega de Río Palmas).

And then it’s down again, and I can already see Tiscamanita at the end.

I take a short break at a simple picknick shelter. This is actually the forth or so of this type on my way for now; and it’s quite new, not even in the map (yet).

Then the last 1,5km to the bus stop, where I jump on the bus to Morro Jable.

Total again only 8,5km, but with heavy pack this time.
