The Templo Cardona & Ortiz walk is a good 3 – 4 hours or so, mostly flat and for the most part well marked. There is one tricky part using an old hunters path over a section of lava flow.
Also there is an optional scramble over Volcán Templo, but the views are well worth it. There are two coffee and cake options here, the Asador Grill Tinguatón or the Teleclub de Masdache.

This walk has a little of something for everone, I even found some chestnut trees! There is also the old hermits cave, Cueva de Ortiz to explore.
Templo Cardona & Ortiz – History
To read more about the history of the island you can check out Historia de Teguise and Historia de Haria websites. The sites are in Spanish, so if it helps I have tried to summarise a few topics of interest in the History section.
