Imposing and deep ravine in one of the most intact rural settings on La Palma, crossed by well-preserved centuries-old paths that form part of the Long Distance 130 path that completely surrounds the island.

Views of the Northern coastline

Highlight • Viewpoint

The coastal hikes are very strenuous. The paths are difficult to commit. BUT, between Gallegos and El Tabelo there are simply the best bays, views and impressions that a coastal hike can offer. Just do it!!!

February 22, 2023,Von Franceses nach Barlovento

A wonderful, somewhat strenuous tour on the Camino Real de la Costa, GR 130.
Easy to take the 120 bus to Franceses. The tour begins with a breathtaking, magical descent to the bottom of the first Barranco. There are three more to follow, with the corresponding ups and downs. In the Gallegos bar, we first have a coffee!

We start at our hotel in Barlovento and after quickly buying provisions, we set off. As soon as we leave the town, we see the sea in the distance again in the morning mist. We follow a Camino Real, one of the …

March 28, 2022,Barlovento - Gallegos - Franceses 🥾

A dreamy way. Actually, I could have just taken pictures all day.
The descent was intense as the trail was extremely slippery, a mixture of rock, debris, mud and ash combined with rain...
There was sun for the ascent 🌞

Hm: the recordings of the other group members are at 600 - 700 Hm in ascent.

Today the 7 Barrancos hike was on the agenda. So we had to cross seven gorges. 7️⃣ Seven times down ↘️ and seven times up ↗️. We started right at the hotel. While we barely noticed the first Barrancos, the differences in altitude continued to increase. The sun also played along and became more and more visible 🌤️. And so …

March 10, 2025,La Palma: 7 Barrancos des Nordens

Today a partial stage on the Camino Real: The seven Barrancos of the north. After the rain at breakfast, it was a dream day with great views of the coast and the observatories at the top. After six shorter Barrancos there is a small bar. Then comes the Barranco Franceses with a long, rocky descent and the longest climb back …

November 14, 2022,La Palma 2: Auf dem Camino Real de la Costa an der Nordküste von Franceses nach Barlovento

I love coastal hikes, so this hike is right up my alley here. The north coast of La Palma with its dragon trees, huge succulents, cacti and spurge plants has already inspired me 20 years ago. In addition, there are always great views of the north coast on both sides. Through various gorges (here called Barrancos) it goes noticeably up …

Finally, a wonderful hike along the rugged and sparsely populated north coast. One gorge follows the other and there are always new panoramas. A worthy end to my hiking trip to Isla Bonita.

November 21, 2025,La Palma - Von Barlovento nach Los Franceses

Today we start from the hotel and immediately encounter the first downpour. We're heading into ravines (barrancos) that are slippery and require sure footing. The intermittent rain forces us to walk slowly. We'll be picked up in Franceses and taken back to the hotel.
