La Fajana - Barlovento - La Palmita

From the parking lot in La Fajana, go back a little on the access road until just behind the first curve, a gravel path branches off to the right, which you take. Behind a transformer house, a footpath leads up to the left in steps (sign "Barlovento"). It reaches a water pipe and turns sharply left there. Soon you ascend in switchbacks through euphorbias. The path becomes a narrow gravel road and turns at a sharp angle to the left, where you come across the first banana plantations. At the following T-junction, keep to the right and follow a paved path uphill. At the next fork, continue uphill to the right. Shortly before this path bends right again, a concrete track branches off to the left, which you follow uphill. This track leads into a side road that goes up to the main road LP-1. On the opposite side of the LP-1, take a stone path that continues uphill and leads into the town of Barlovento. There turn right and reach the church.

Across the church square, you return to the main road, cross it and follow a side alley on the other side. At the next junction, turn left into the "Calle del Calvario" and leave it at the following left curve at a sign "Al Camino Real" to the right. Shortly after, follow a sign "Santo Domingo" straight ahead. Soon you return to the main road and follow it a short distance straight ahead in the direction of "Puntagorda". At the next sign "Santo Domingo," leave the street on a stone staircase and soon reach it again behind, only to leave it again to the right a few meters later (signs "Santo Domingo" and red markings). Soon the view opens up to the north coast, and you turn left onto a footpath (sign "Santo Domingo"). Going downhill, you now descend on the beautiful "Camino Real" down to the "Fuente Tosca" and continue downhill following the signs "Santo Domingo." You cross the Barranco de Topaciegas and climb steeply on the other side. Following the signs "Santo Domingo" further, you then cross the Barranco de Vica. The path from this Barranco leads a longer stretch toward the sea, then turns left and shortly after reaches the access road to the hamlet "La Palmita."

Here you leave the "Camino Real" and follow a sign "Barlovento" uphill. You reach the main road at the signposted junction "La Palmita" and follow it to the left, until at the next street bend a sign "Barlovento" points to the right onto a green-marked pull path. This path leads uphill in a ravine to another sign "Barlovento," which turns left onto a footpath, on which you climb steeply upwards. In switchbacks, you go through the laurel forest uphill, where the path becomes a pull path. You reach a concrete track and follow it to the right to a dirt road, which continues flat to the left (sign "Barlovento"). On the ridge, stay straight on the main path, which leads down into a ditch (the Barranco de Topaciegas). Beyond this Barranco, the path reaches a plain with open terrain and plantations. You reach a side road and walk a short distance to the right to follow a sign "Barlovento" diagonally to the left onto a driveway at the next junction. Passing an industrial site, you go down about 800 m to the outskirts of Barlovento, crossing the LP-109 roadway twice and finally walking a few meters on it to the main road. There immediately turn right again and after a curve reach the "Calle del Calvario" again, which you cross and immediately turn right behind it to reach the church square.

Shortly before reaching the main road at the church, a wooden sign "Fuente del Llano" points right onto an old stone path that descends steeply into a ditch and climbs up again on the other side. You turn into a side road to the left and descend to the main road, which you cross where a green marker points downhill slightly to the left ("La Fajana"). On a steep path that soon becomes a concrete track again, you go downhill, later on a narrow asphalt road. Where this road bends left, continue straight downhill on a track that temporarily becomes an old stone path, which is heavily overgrown, and then becomes the concrete track again. Follow the green markings straight downhill. The track leads through banana plantations and finally becomes a pull path that, after a sharp right bend, flows into the access road to La Fajana, on which you return to the starting point.
