Sendero de la Rambla de Castro,

"La Rambla de Castro is one of those trails that surprises you: wild landscapes along the Atlantic, tropical palm groves, and a wealth of Canarian heritage. With 9 linear kilometers and low difficulty, it's ideal for families, leisurely walkers, and anyone looking to enjoy it without exertion.

The route usually starts at the Mirador El Burgado (or San Pedro) and has few gradients—although some cobbled sections descending into the ravine can be difficult for the legs. During the route, you pass by Los Roques beach, eroded by the sea, then cross areas with banana, tabaiba, and dragon tree plantations, all within the Rambla de Castro Protected Landscape, which has some 45 hectares of endemic flora and birds such as the Cory's shearwater and the black lizard.

Then you come across the Casona de Castro, a stately 16th-century mansion, followed by the Fortín de San Fernando, an 18th-century coastal fortress built to defend against pirate attacks. Further on, the ruins of the elevator appear. The waters of La Gordejuela, with its industrial structure dating back to 1903, where the first steam engine in Tenerife was installed to irrigate banana trees. It's one of the most photogenic ruins you'll see.

You can choose to go down to La Fajana beach, a quiet spot where, during the rainy season, a waterfall flows into the sea, creating an almost magical setting. The route ends at the Mirador de San Pedro, with panoramic views of the coast, ideal for finishing with a photo or finding transportation back (buses such as lines 330, 363, or 546 are available).

Wear comfortable shoes (there are rocky sections and stairs), water, and a snack. Wear sunscreen and a hat: the final section is unshaded. It is forbidden to leave the trail, respect the flora, leave no litter, and avoid approaching the cliffs. Although accessible, it has gentle slopes; it is closed to disabled access.
