Arriving at Tenerife a 32e taxi ride to a one night basic Andrea’s hotel in Los Cristianos was fine ready for the 09:00 Armas ferry to San Sebastian. The connection to bus#2 was literally seamless and the e2.50 fare to Hermigua a snip.
climbing up to the basalto luxury villa an explore to find lunch took us to a dejected Santa Catalina ‘beach’ kicking heels until the Faro restaurant opened at 13:30. Bright but chilly and everyso slightly dog-eared, was this a good idea for January?
A bright Tuesday saw no reason not to begin a brutal 90minute climb across to Juego de Bolas and a circular return on CR132 via Agulo. 16km and 1100m climbing. Ouch.



perro is dog; peligro is danger,. Then there are many other words… that makes dangerous dog ?
having tested the climbs a return guagua to Vallehermoso a less severe above the village was a comparative treat.
with low cloud a precipitous ridge walk to the beautiful sheltered beach continued the yet another yet this time road trip 850m ascent,
