Alamo trail, Teror - Easy hiking route in Gran Canaria

Teror City Council has announced the opening of the first route of the “Senderos y Vida” (Trails and Life) project, located in the El Álamo neighborhood, between the “El Muñigal” bridge and the “La Molineta” bridge. 

This new route will also allows hikers to connect directly with other existing trails such as Peñón Chiquito, Subida de Las Abejas, Mirador de Las Cuevas or Barranquillo de El Barbuzano, among others.

The aim of the entire project “Senderos y Vida”  is to recover all those trails and roads in the Teror municipality with a sustainable approach and care for the environment, while also adapting the spaces for open-air fuse and enjoyment of visitors.

The first phase of the project has consisted of making the road passable, after cleaning garbage (plastics and polluting waste) and reforesting the flora. The second phase, for which work is already underway is to complete the route, consisting of installing signage, virtual digitization and promoting the route.

The actions integrated into the “Senderos y Vida” project are intended to promote and encourage the realization of hiking activities in Teror, one of the nicest areas of Gran Canaria.

As a tourist attraction, El Alamo has become one of the trendiest hiking trails in Gran Canaria, a favorite route for nature lovers who can enjoy a lush natural forest with very diverse vegetation throughout the hike. Beyond that, its two distinctive metal and wooden staircases have made it the top attraction for those seeking the perfect photo.
