4-Xtremes – Part 49: Peak-hopping instead of coast on Gran Canaria

Finally green again!

The trip was worthwhile for the view of the surrounding peaks alone. Everything is blossoming and the smell of flowers and pine trees is everywhere. Recently on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, golf courses were pretty much the only green areas. And because these were taboo for Aimée, our dog is now particularly pleased about the vegetation.

Three kilometres from the “Pico” and at an altitude of around 1,800 metres, we camp on a cliff – and decide to stay for a few days. The heating was on from time to time, as at night temperatures drop to five degrees. The bike tour to the summit can be quickly summarised: The climb was steep, and at the top the clouds were so dense that we could only see the railing from the viewpoint. However, it was worth a try.
