We began this all mountain tour in village La Galga where we parked our car. After few hundred meters on the main road we turned right and then the uphill on not technically difficult road begins. Nature is realy butifull, changing from tropical forest on the bottom to large pine tree forest on the top. Uphill was over when we reached the paved road leading to Roque de los Muchachos. Practically all descent is on the beautifull single trail. Long pine needles cover the trail in the upper part. When the type of forest changes, ground becomes more wet, probably also if the weather is nicer than we had. Some parts of trail are S1-S2 difficulty on singletrail skala. in the bottom part of downhill we found a trail which is to my opinion better than that described in guide book (http://www.mtb-lapalma.com/ - I recommend it !). Although some short parts go through bushes on the end there is very exciting trail in tunnel like environment. We reached the main road in Puntallana.
And do not forget to stop on the end in a local pub located few ten meters from the starting point.
