Coastal walk from Puerto del Carmen Harbour to Puerto Calero

Start your walk at the old harbor in Puerto del Carmen, by going up the set of stairs. This is probably the most difficult part of your journey.

Then you have to walk along the coast, first on the paved road and then following the dirt road. You will encounter some other sets of stairs along the way, but the walk is generally easy and doesn't require a high level of fitness, although good walking shoes are recommended.

You can admire the beautiful views of the ocean and in the meantime, you will arrive at an interesting point along the way, which is Barranco de El Quiquere (El Quiquere Ravine), a place where you can see rock engravings made by the island's first inhabitants.

Along the way, you'll also be able to see the islands of Fuerteventura and Los Lobos, and you will have lots of scenic viewpoints where you can stop for photographs.

Especially during the summer months, we recommend that you go on this walk early in the morning, before it gets too hot, as there's no place to hide from the sun. Use sun cream and a hat to avoid an unpleasant episode of heatstroke.

You can also hop on the ferry between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero
