Trail in Los Giles, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

As we said, we can classify it as an introductory route for hikers due to the low gradient along the path. In other words, it is a fairly flat mountain. In any case, the distance is not short, as we are talking about more than 10 kilometres of route. If you want to do trail running in Gran Canaria, this route is great if you don’t know it yet because of its views of the sea and the whole city. Here are the technical details.

The trail we propose is circular and there is no place to shop en route. Only at the beginning. So if you think you might need food and drink during the route, bring them from home.

However, if you don’t like running, we think it’s great to come here just for a walk and enjoy the panoramic views of Las Palmas, have a picnic or go with your pet.
