Into the Valley of the great King …

Today another bus was waiting for us – a cabriolet bus with an open roof (as such removing the masking requirement). We once more made our way up the Ctra. General del Sur, today with a stop at a viewpoint overlooking San Sebastian with great views over to Tenerife. We continued up, passing by yesterday’s first bus (which was now sitting in a parking space a few hundred meters up the road, from where we had left it), to the Mirador de los Roques for another photo opportunity. Now it was on to Arure – for coffee and cockies before engaging into our hike.

Initially we had slight ups and downs – until we finally reached the steep downhill section on our way to Valle Gran Rey – for pizza, sangria and a beach option.

After a late lunch we were picked up by yet another bus – again stopping at the Mirador de los Roques – with the rock formations now floating in the clouds. In the evening it was tapas once more (after a late lunch) – and more of those gigantic Aperol Spritzes (or G&T in my case).
