    3

    Alajeró – Imada – Guarimiar- Playa Santiago

    During this third stage, you will cross spectacular ravines and old villages now abandoned (Lazadoye and Benchijigua).
    This course is very interesting on several levels. First at the historical and cultural level. The first half corresponds to the pilgrimage that the inhabitants of Imada take to the church of Benchijigua to attend the procession and traditional festival of San Juan. Along the way, we discover old houses, threshing floors, a watermill (for the gofio), so many witnesses of the old ways of life of the islanders.
    The geology is also very striking on this route. We will be able to admire the emblematic Roque de Agando, and the deep valleys, sometimes narrow or very wide, the result of the intense erosion of the island.
    At the botanical level, this area is a fine example of the Canarian thermophilic forest.
    On the last part of the hike we will discover a real oasis with its palm trees, avocado trees, orange trees, mango trees and its beautiful stone houses.
