Circular hike Malpa\u00eds de G\u00fc\u00edmar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This small circular walk starts and ends on the coast near G\u00fc\u00edmar, in Puertito de G\u00fc\u00edmar. It is one of those hikes that I would almost call a long walk. Nevertheless, it is charming and highly recommended. You walk through a beautiful coastal landscape with views of volcanoes, lava fields, mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. There are only a few metres of altitude to climb on this hike and the paths are well laid out. Furthermore, you can shorten or extend the length individually. So this really is a hike for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malpa\u00eds de G\u00fc\u00edmar is a Special Nature Reserve that was placed under protection in 1987. There are many underground lava tubes in this area. The Malpa\u00eds is of great ecological importance, because due to the mild climate in this volcanic landscape and the coastal region, you can admire many endemic plant species there. You will walk past the various species of spurge, as well as the Canary Island spurge. In this impressive coastal lava landscape, you will come across lettuce, broom and beach lilac, as well as numerous species of lichen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
