itinerario
Circular route. Choose the route option that best suits your needs. You can choose between 3 and 7 stages. For the 6- and 7-day options, we've added a variant after Yaiza, which will take us through the beautiful Gulf area, lengthening this stage, which would otherwise be very short. Therefore, the mileage and the final cumulative elevation gain are slightly increased.
