From here we will have privileged views of the eastern part of the municipality, from where we can see the back of the Basilica, the Dominican Convent and the Hermitage of San Blas.
We will continue with our hiking route parallel to the cliff under the protection of seagulls, shearwaters and andorines, all surrounded by the serene sound of the waves that will crash against the stones and the breeze of the trade winds. In this way we will continue hiking until we reach the Samarines ravine, where the paths become even more pleasant, and we will go downhill to the Samarines beach. >. Our journey will continue until we reach La Viuda beach, and from here, we return to the Plaza Patrona de Canarias, which will give us other views of the coast from Candelaria.
