Sendero Las Aguas - La Rambla
A kilometre and a half of earth and stone track along the coastal shelf of San Juan de la Rambla, linking the seaside hamlet of Las Aguas with the Rosario neighbourhood. It takes about an hour, the difficulty is low, and the whole route behaves like one long viewpoint over the water. Along the way there are terraces of potatoes and bananas, tamarisks, reed beds, agaves and the small Callados beach.
The path connects the coastal hamlet of Las Aguas with the Rosario neighbourhood over a kilometre and a half of earth and stone, roughly an hour of walking at low difficulty. It can also be done the other way round, starting at the Barranco de Ruiz, dropping to Rosario and finishing at Las Aguas. The route hugs the coastal shelf and works like one long viewpoint over the sea, with terraced potato and banana plots on both sides and tamarisks, reed beds and agaves along the edges. Public buses serve the area, which makes a one way walk straightforward.
For such a short stretch there is a lot of history packed in. You pass the small Callados beach, the Casa de El Cura, once the parish priest's house and now rural tourism accommodation, and the Ermita del Rosario with its stone steps and Canarian architecture. At Río Plaza, some fifty metres above the water, the coastal view opens right up. The trail ends at the Barranco de Ruiz, the boundary with Los Realejos, and runs through the protected area of Tigaiga, on a slope that has been worked for sugar cane since the conquest of 1496.
