Hiking

A fee of three euros per person is due, but it's perfectly acceptable, as the paths need to be maintained.

Hiking

There's a reason PR 8 is one of the most popular hiking trails on the island. If you don't mind the incredible crowds, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking scenery. You can avoid this somewhat by arriving early enough, which also makes parking easier.
