There are a number of small farms and vineyards along the route, with groves of peaches, figs and almonds.
The track eventually leads back to the village of Ye, at the junction of the LZ-201 and LZ-202. Pass by the old village Aljibe and follow the main street through the village back to the church.
Short Extension – Crater Rim
At the Lalaland cottage you can make a short excursion to the crater rim and back. It is a short scramble up a picon slope, but the views are well worth the effort. Take the small track with the cottage on your left. Walk up over the bank and head for the electricity pylon. Look to the picon plantation and see a break in the low wall and a hunters path up the slope to the crater’s rim.
It might be tempting to explore round the crater rim, but despite there being a small path and the remains of a wall, it’s very narrow, easy to stumble and doesn’t really go anywhere. After admiring the views, retrace your steps to the cottage.
Lalaland Las Hoyas – Long Extension
At the Lalaland cottage you can extend the walk into the Las Hoyas area. Head southeast along the track, passing the cottage on the right. Follow the track all the way down and turn right onto the LZ-203. Continue up hill passing farms and small vineyards. After about 400m turn right onto the dirt road Calle Cuervo. Signposted Camino Natural, Maguez, Haria and Teguise.
Follow this track up hill, past numerous farms and vineyards. After about 40 minutes of climbing (approx 1.5km) take the track on the right. follow this dirt road until it is joined by a farm track from the right. Turn left, up hill to the LZ-201 and and turn right, following the road back into the village.
