La Palma in January 21
Published: 13.01.2021
Despite Corona, we have escaped the gray
It's only gray at home. Change is needed. First, the beard has to go
Then pack the backpack and take the plane from Dus to Spc
Hans-Karl wants to stay for 7 weeks and has organized everything
Take the rental car to the west coast to Puerto Naos
Now we're going to enjoy ourselves
Air 19°C and water 20°C, so let's dive in
I want to hike a lot, so we start the first hike at the beach of Charco Verde
10.01. From the beach Charco Verde uphill
Growing in large greenhouses
Bananas
Cacti grow above
It's getting higher and higher
We take a break at 420m and turn around
Looks good.
I can watch the sea for hours
SU in Puerto Naos
11.01. from Los Llanos to Puerto de Tazacorte
But first, let's go to the hairdresser
Since the lockdown, the hairdressers have been closed here
Everything is open here and I get a summer cut
There's a coffee to go with it
With a view of the snowy Caldera, I start walking out of town
Past the school
I hike on the GR 130 hiking trail
He poses nicely for the photo
I have to protect my freshly shaved neck from the sun

View of Tazacorte from El Time
Now it's getting colorful
Unfortunately, the path is closed and K-H picks me up by car

And when I look beyond the horizon, I see the sunset
The Mirador del Universo near El Pinar
I leave the earth
And go into space
Fortuna pours out the cornucopia
Luna
Hera or Maria
The little one or Jesus get a lot
From Tijarafe to Cueva Candelaria
Now it's downhill
The view of the cliffs is gigantic
You still can't see the bay
There's the former pirate hideout
Resting and enjoying the view
We go into the water via a ladder
The waves toss me back and forth
Now I rest
and wait for the sunset
Today we cook ourselves
13.01. from Manchas to El Remo
Behind Puerto Naos, we climb the steep slope with a view of Bombilla
Banana greenhouse
Lush front gardens in Manchas
Old stone signs made new
Look into the Candela
Glorieta Park by Luis Morera
Break
Intersection
Now we go into the lava

Today I enjoy the SU at the beach bar in Puerto Naos
14.01. Hike from Mirador de la Cumbrecita
In the information center, we spontaneously get a permit for the Park Calderea de Taburiente parking lot
The view of the Caldera is still almost unobstructed
On the way to Roque de los Cuervas
Through the pine forest, it goes up
At 1600m
View to the south
Summit climber
Now the clouds are moving lower
Everything is closed
Only the view from the balcony to the SU is free
Today is still a Jitsi men's group
15.01. On the volcano path to the south
Hans-Karl takes me to Mendo
I climb from 1000m to 1800m. Below, Puerto Naos and Bombilla
I climb up to the clouds at the lava flow
Here stand pines marked by fire
Fresh green breaks through the sunken bark
It's cool here in the wind and clouds
First trees grow in the ash fields
On the ridge, we go down again on the GR 131
Middle break with a view...
... and a visit
La Palma in January 21
At the Fuente de los Roques (1100m) I meet Hans-Karl again
Break before the descent
The path leads over soft pine needles
The tree invites you to take a selfie
Los Canarios comes into view late
The hikers
The church of Fuentes Calientes, as the town is also called
Relaxing on the Zamora Chica beach
Into the waves
and sunbathing
and enjoying the sunset...
...
16.01. Along the coast
... to Bombilla
The Little Prince is still there
Now let's take a closer look
Wild sea, wild coast
Shy crabs
all colorful
Small cave
Behind the lighthouse
Arrived at the beach
The rocks break the waves
Will it work?
Looks good
SU from the balcony
17.01. Small trips around Los Llanos
The marketplace of Argual Abajo
The glass blower from the Black Forest
Montana Triana
View of Los Llanos
The clouds sweep over the Cumbre from the east
Tazacorte and the port
Lava and ash in layers
El Jardin de las Delicias

On the Mirador de la Cancelita
Behind me, the snowy Caldera
The back from El Time to Roque de los Muchachos
The evening on the beach of Tazacorte
is influenced by the young people
18.01. Hiking in the far north
We park the car at Roque del Faro
We have company at the start
The view upwards
There's snow up there
First, the last house
The humidity of the night is still hanging here
Beautiful old hollow paths lead through laurel forests
Between red rocks and gentle green hills lies the deep Barranco
Below us, El Tablado
Proud dragon trees stand isolated
View of La Fajana
I brought my muesli with me again
It's better to travel light
Almost there
Now we're above La Fajana

Maybe because the road is closed?
SU above the clouds on the long journey home
We reward ourselves with fresh tuna in La Muralla
La Palma in January 21
On the way to El Pilar, I can see all the way to the sea
The clouds are still below
Today, the clouds are coming together from the east and west here
But I can't get lost here
The lichen love the humidity
I go downhill here
On the old path, it snakes towards Ermita de la Virgen del Pino
Many small offerings adorn the intersection

20.1. Villa de Mazo
We park at the post office
Montaña las Toscas
Santa Cruz
Tour through Mazo
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Parish Church of San Blas
The cemetery of Mazo
The town hall with our viewpoint
In the garden of the pottery El Molino
La Palma in January 21
The beautiful replicas
The old design
21.01. Through the Barranco de Nogales
We take the bus to La Galga
On a narrow path above the Barranco
Vacancy
Lush flora
On the steep coast
Unfortunately, Playa de Nogales is not on the route today and in the shade
It's getting warm. Don't forget your phone 😉

Back up again
Along plantations and fields
Many colors
Almonds
At the entrance of San Juan de Puntallana
We're back just in time for the Jitsi men's group
22.01. The construction workers in front of the balcony have only moved 10 meters in 2 weeks
My hike begins at the closed Hotel Sol la Palma
La Palma in January 21
It's hard to walk along the coast. Walls reach to the edge of the cliffs
La Palma in January 21
I slip through the plantations in parts
Only 2 arches to the beach
There's dancing at Charco Verde today
And landed
To finish off, we have delicious calamari at the beach kiosk of San Remo
We stay until sunset
My plane is here

23.01. With the online registration in NRW, I can fly with Iberia via Madrid to DUS
The Teide on Tenerife watches the departure through the clouds
It also takes time to get from Düsseldorf back home 😔
24.01. White welcome at home
