Barranco de la Poceta or Ravine of the Well, I thought this one was quite tough, it’s a good 3 – 4 hours with photo, water and sandwich breaks and you are climbing to some extent or other nearly all the way. That said, it was so worth it. Chose to make it an A – B walk leaving cars either end and for us it was the right decision. Elected to make it an ascent as opposed to a descent (my knees are better going up than down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the LZ-30 just south of Teguise, take the LZ-402 for Famara. After 6.5km or so, parked where the LZ-402 meets with the LZ-403 dirt track. This allowed for a gentle stroll before starting the main ascent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So it starts off gently enough along the old dirt road LZ-403 towards Famara. You pass one or two houses and small holdings and then come to the corner of the Famara Bungalows. Here there are a number of old water storage ruins left over from when the Risco de Famara aquifer was tapped to provide water for Arrecife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
