<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afur – a good starting point for hikes in the Anaga Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This circular hike starts in the small hamlet of Afur, hidden at 227 metres above sea level at the end of a road in the Anaga Mountains. From the Anaga mountain road you reach Afur via the hamlet Roque Negro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There you have a wonderful view of the Tamadite gorge, at the end of which is the beach of the same name (also called Tamadiste). Around Afur there are high mountain walls, of which the famous Roque Taborno stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"parking,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Afur itself there is a small bar where local products and wines are sold. Even for non-hikers this tranquil little town is worth a visit. From Afur you can go hiking in all directions. Today I present a round trip from Afur to the beach of Tamadite\/Tamadiste and further to Taganana. Soon there will be another hike, which starts in Taborno and leads via Afur through the Tamadite gorge down to the beach. Back it goes steeply up the mountains to Taborno. Both walks can be combined very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circular hikes around Afur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The circular walk described here takes you from Afur through the Tamadite Gorge to the beach of the same name. Afterwards you go up to the steep coast. The trail then takes you up and down the steep coast towards Taganana. Since there are some canyons to circumnavigate, the path continues. But you can enjoy wonderful views of the impressive Anaga coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You finally reach Taganana via a small hamlet with a waterhole. If you like, you can descend into the village. Otherwise the way leads you first at the mountain slope over Taganana along. Finally the path climbs steeply up to Cumbrecilla. Up there on the summit there are fantastic views in all directions. Afterwards you go downhill and back to Afur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
