I arrived in La Palma two days prior to the start of the "Astromaster" workshop and decided to spend those days hiking. This figure-8 loop hike starts at the Barco (ship) in the centre of Santa Cruz and follows through residential areas to join the PR LP 2.2 and 2.3 (Ruta de los Molinos) into the Parque Natural Las Nieves. The trail then follows deep into the Barranco de la Madera through tunnels along a sheer cliff face with many "windows" to peer through. The water channel supplies rainwater from the mountains to the towns below. It was extremely hot and humid that day, and the "Calima" phenomenon (sand blown winds from the Sahara) was at it's peak, making it more difficult to breathe as the day progressed. It was a long full-day hike ... and that Dorada beer tasted great afterward !
