The Lalaland walk varies between 2 and 4 hours depending on the route taken. There is a mixture of mountain path descents, dirt road climbs and short sections of tarmac.
Starting at the church in Ye, we head out of the village on an old mountain road. Cross onto the bluff following the mountain bike tracks.
Small gullies form on the top before becoming steep ravines tumbling over the edge.
Some of the gullies show signs of old sluice gates to switch rainwater runoff from one valley to another.
On the valley floor we find the ruins of old water cisterns. The valley is a collection of vineyards and smallholdings. Crops include maize, potatoes, onions, also groves of fig, peach and almond.
The Lalaland Walk gets its name from the small holiday cottage of the same name about halfway round. From here the walk may be extended from 5 to 10km .
In the centre of the village there is a small village shop which sells drinks and snacks. At the east entrance to the village there is Restaurante Volcan de la Corona, which is well worth a visit.
