More information
The path part of the northeastern tip of Caleta del Sebo and continues parallel to the coast, passing in front of a solitary House which is on the left, opposite the cala de Los bricks. About 200 m from building the road forks, although the route continues straight. 300 Metres beyond it is the Cove from above, where it is common to find fishermen. Almost at the end of this Cove, the road joins another wider coming from Caleta del Sebo from inside. The route draws a wide curve left at the Jable from the coves, to continue straight ahead until the Caleta del Aguardiente, where at times of low tide can be seen an artesian well where the water emerges. At its northern end the wider road is abandoned to take the turn-off which goes to the right and go along the coast line along the path marked by stones. Shortly after passes by the remains of the Calera from the Caleta of brandy. The road returns to turn to the left to save the low of mouse and take northbound towards Pedro Barba until it becomes to find the track that was abandoned in the Caleta del Aguardiente. At less than 300 meters, the road narrows and again lined in stone. There lies another Calera, the of the ravine of rabbits. A small Cove sheltered from Morro Negro is hidden at the end of this ravine. From here and for about 800 meters, the road becomes more difficult, because it passes through not very stable land next to steep areas, zigzagging to the coast. Go past this area, the road turns to widen and is marked with rows of stones. Shortly before reaching the bicycle parking can be observed, sections of the road, the cistern and the Calera de Pedro Barba. Pedro Barba continues down the street that goes next to the sea, against the wall of an old installation, leave the main road and take the path that opens to the right and pointing towards the sea. Continue along the coast line until you reach the vicinity of the Bufadero, where the seawater comes with great force through a hole in the basalt in the days in which the sea pushes with momentum. The road turns to the left away from the coast, to join another wider which comes from Pedro Barba. Taken to the right, up a small slope and making one that right. For about 700 meters we will hardly have references, although the road follows a line parallel to the coast by the interior. After a chain and a signal, the trail becomes a track. From here, the road turns to the left around the back of the donkey to join the main track coming from the beach of amber. Beyond 300 metres you reach a junction that allows down the left to Pedro Barba. The main route take the junction to the right, rapidly gaining height toward the clockwise. In little more than 3.5 km road becomes the plain of La Mareta, where is the tank of watering holes. Past this point, at the main intersection of La Mareta, take the track to the left, returning to Caleta del Sebo.
