A beautiful walk ideal for families with children walking, with a beautiful viewing point at the end. Two easy climbs, half an hour there and half an hour back. You can park near the entrance, arriving from Pico de la Nieve just before the bend on the left, at the Zona de Acampada de Bailico (arriving from Roque Nublo just after the bend on the right).
