This area belongs to the Parque Rural de Nublo, located within the Gran Canaria Biosphere Reserve. In June 2005, UNESCO declared the entire region a Biosphere Reserve due to the grandeur of its landscape, featuring remarkable pine forests and rich biological diversity. In addition to encountering lakes on this hike, you&#8217;ll also come across traditional agriculture, small settlements, and terrace cultivation. Furthermore, you can visit the vast caves of Majada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Hiker at the tunnel exit near the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as dam\" class=\"wp-image-29151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3459-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The starting point of the hike is a large recreational area at Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as. This rest and picnic area has a capacity for 374 people and belongs to the municipality of Tejeda. The Biosphere Reserve is one of the most visited recreational areas in Gran Canaria, so you&#8217;ll find all the facilities needed for a pleasant day with family or friends on the extensive grounds. Naturally, this beautiful spot near Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as is also suitable for resting before or after the hike, allowing you to leisurely enjoy the impressive landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gran Canaria - Aufstiegsweg S-60 Richtung Presa Las Ni\u00f1as \u00fcber Soria\" width=\"697\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q7Flq5Zx1Cs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ascent path S-60 towards Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hike around Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as and Water Scarcity in 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this interesting hike, you start at Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as, circling around it about two-thirds of the way. Then, you hike over Majada Alta, passing by the caves of Majada. After that, you descend through an impressive gorge to the small village of Baranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s. From there, you&#8217;ll walk along the road to the village of Soria. Here, you can catch a glimpse of the large dam of Soria, where <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/gran-canaria-en\/soria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">another hike around additional reservoirs begins<\/a>. Behind Soria, you&#8217;ll ascend again through an impressive mountain landscape. You&#8217;ll reach the Monta\u00f1a de las Monjas ridge, from which you&#8217;ll descend back to Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1542\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View from the hiking trail back to the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as and the now dry areas (2024)\" class=\"wp-image-29148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-1536x925.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-2032_singular_display_fullPicture-2048x1233.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can easily see from the pictures, the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as (as of February 2024) is quite empty. In fact, we hiked next to the lake over areas where there should normally be water. This is due to water scarcity caused by insufficient rainfall, which affected all the Canary Islands and especially Gran Canaria at the beginning of 2024. Hopefully, there will be some rain before the hot summer arrives to replenish the island&#8217;s reservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bildschirmfoto-2024-02-01-um-15.49.08.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bildschirmfoto-2024-02-01-um-15.49.08-642x1024.png\" alt=\"Track of the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as hike\" class=\"wp-image-29125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bildschirmfoto-2024-02-01-um-15.49.08-642x1024.png 642w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bildschirmfoto-2024-02-01-um-15.49.08-188x300.png 188w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bildschirmfoto-2024-02-01-um-15.49.08.png 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Information about the Hike around Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting Point and Directions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You start your hike at the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as picnic area next to the GC-605 road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1573\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Starting point at the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as rest area\" class=\"wp-image-29134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-1024x629.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-1536x944.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3448-2048x1259.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arrival by car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can reach the Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as picnic area from both sides only via the GC-605 road.

From there, you descend gently towards the lake, initially encountering dried-up areas that you can now hike through. In February 2024, it took some time for us to reach the trail that circles the lake. The lake was quite dried up. By walking close to the lake, we actually hiked over areas that would normally be submerged. Therefore, you can only partially follow the track at this point. Simply check how much water is in the lake when you plan to hike there. If there is a lot of water in the lake, hike a little higher along the shore to make the loop a bit larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Hikers at Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as - water used to flow nearby - now you are hiking in the dry (as of February 2024)\" class=\"wp-image-29139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3449-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With some ups and downs, you hike along the lake, occasionally spotting birds in and around the water. You hike along the entire length of the lake. At the end of the lake, the trail takes you upward along the transverse side. On the other side of the lake, the hiking trail runs above the lake, offering splendid views of the water and the surroundings.

Otherwise, you can shorten the route by going uphill to the right before the tunnel. Then, you cross the plateau on a narrow path and then descend to the canal. Whichever way you choose, you need to get onto the wide canal path. This path leads you comfortably along the canal for quite a while.

This is the only part of the hike that is a bit unclear due to the reeds and the slope. After the lake, you hike through the wide valley of Majada Alta, steadily climbing upwards. You alternate between walking through bushes and over open areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1313\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"the caves of Majada\" class=\"wp-image-29131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-1536x788.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3463-2048x1050.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section from Majada Alta to GR-139 Junction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the path through the valley, you have several options. In front of you are the Cuevas de Majada. This is a mountain with many large caves, which are definitely worth visiting. I will introduce a separate hike to this on SiebenInseln. If you walk to the base of the mountain with the caves, you follow the hiking trail to the left from there. However, we followed the hiking trail uphill to the left before reaching the caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gran Canaria - Wanderweg Abzweig Kanalweg in Richtung Baranquillo Andr\u00e9s\" width=\"697\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qHjEn-5QVV4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hiking trail junction canal path in the direction of Baranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trail takes you over the ridge, and you continue around the mountain with the caves, then further along the slope. Eventually, the trail descends, and you reach another canal. However, you cross this canal to the left shortly afterward. Signposted for Baranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s, the long-distance hiking trail GR-139 with red and white markers leads downhill into the gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Hiker on the descent path towards Barranquillo de Andr\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-29133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3466-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section from GR-139 Junction to El Monta\u00f1\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the hiking trail takes you downhill in some switchbacks into the gorge. However, after some time, the trail turns right and descends along the slope. The Barranco offers beautiful corners with impressive rock walls, palm trees, and various plants. The actual greenery depends on the weather and the season. After a while, the trail leads you into the bottom of the gorge. You cross it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"View of Barranquillo de Andr\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-29126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3470-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other side, the hiking trail ascends along the cliff wall. Once you reach the top, you descend for a while and then reach a dirt road. You follow this road to the left. This leads you to an even wider dirt road. You can&#8217;t get lost if you follow the signs for Barranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s. This road, which you follow for quite some time, runs downhill along the mountainside of the impressive rock El Monta\u00f1\u00f3n. Even now, you can enjoy magnificent views of the small villages ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail through Baranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s\" class=\"wp-image-29173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3471-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section from El Monta\u00f1\u00f3n to Soria&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below the front of El Monta\u00f1\u00f3n, you reach a small road near some houses and gardens. You follow this road in switchbacks downhill. After a while, you reach the charming village of El Baranquillo de San Andr\u00e9s. If you like, you can take a look around or take a break here. Otherwise, you walk past the church downhill to GC-505 road. You then follow this road to the left. It might not be so pleasant to walk on the road for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"the dam near Soria\" class=\"wp-image-29137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3472-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is little traffic, and you mostly descend towards Soria with wonderful views of the vast landscape and the Soria dam. Then, after crossing small barranco streams on the road, you eventually reach the village of Soria. <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/gran-canaria-en\/soria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The hike to Soria and Chira Lake <\/a>starts at the dam here. There are shops and restaurants, so it might be time for a break. You follow the GC-505 road through the entire village.

Initially, you hike uphill on a wide dirt road. This road takes you in several switchbacks above the houses below. If you prefer to continue along GC-505, you can also take the S-60 trail, signposted uphill at the houses. Whichever option you choose, the trail eventually takes you up the massive slope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"View from the ascent path Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as back to Soria\" class=\"wp-image-29129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3482-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You continue with beautiful views into a notch. This gorge is called Cascada Bonita de Soria. Perhaps there is a waterfall or at least water here at certain times of the year. When I was there, there wasn&#8217;t. You cross the gorge and then continue uphill on steep switchback paths on the other side. Eventually, the trail flattens out a bit under the rugged cliffs. And then you&#8217;re at the Monta\u00f1a de las Monjas ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gran Canaria - Aufstiegsweg \u00fcber Soria zur Cascade Bonita\" width=\"697\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LlIKcyHm7tU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ascent path over Soria in the direction of the Cascada Bonita<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section from Monta\u00f1a de las Monjas Ridge to Starting Point at Presa de Las Ni\u00f1as Parking Lot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the ridge, you have two options. You can follow the hiking trail to the right. This takes you along the slope and then downhill to a small road. Alternatively, you can walk directly onto the road from the ridge and follow it to the right. Whichever way you go, you eventually walk downhill on the road for quite a while.
