Paisaje Protegido de la Rambla de Castro — Attraction in Los Realejos

The route isn't always clear. In the beginning I was really confused which way to go. I'm not too good on my feet, so I took a bike with me and even went through a little village. Only when I passed los Roques (which was undoable with my bike) I knew I was on the right track.
