Round trip La Zarza – La Sombrera – Sabina Alta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the eastern slopes of Tenerife above Fasnia, this beautiful circular tour starts in La Zarza. In addition to La Zarza, it takes you through two other small impressive towns high above the east coast. It is educational because you can learn a lot about the landscape and the history of this region on multilingual information boards. For example, you will walk past old wells where drinking water was fetched for the villagers many years ago and where the women of the village met to do their laundry together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But of course you will not only read and learn on this beautiful round tour. You hike through a varied landscape with gorges, terraced fields and can enjoy great views. You start in La Zarza and then hike back via La Sombrera and Sabina Alta after your excursion into the heights above the small town. Along the way, you will come across many abandoned houses, which today bear witness to the once lively rural life in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Zarza – small and large round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As is often the case, I offer you two interesting variants of this hike today. There is a very well signposted La Zarza – Sabina Alta loop. This is just under 5 kilometres long and runs along very well-maintained hiking trails. You will also find the information boards along this route. The extended route is almost twice as long and, as far as it runs parallel to the small hike, naturally also offers you the information boards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Paths<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The large loop partly follows the official hiking route. However, the rest of the route takes you a little further up, so that you can see La Zarza, La Sombrera and Sabina Alta from above. As far as you walk on the well-designed hiking route, you will also find very good paths. On the other route, however, you can expect hard-to-find paths and covered canals as a hiking trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrival by car<\/u><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You come from the north or south via the TF-1 and exit at Los Roques, Fasnia No. 32. Then take the TF-620 to Fasnia. From there, take the TF-532 to La Zarza. An even shorter route is to take the narrow Carretera La Vista road directly up from the motorway to La Zarza. There is plenty of parking close to Calle la Union (exit at the TF-532 bend) and on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Titsa bus line 33 stops at La Zarza. Details and more information can be found on the Titsa homepage.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
