Warp!
Camino Real from Temisas to Agüimes, Gran Canaria, with detours to Cuevas de la Audiencia and Barranco de las Vacas; short hike (about 10 Km) - 05/aug/2018 Photos by Valentina Kay and me
Embark with me on a journey along the Camino Real from Temisas to Agüimes, Gran Canaria, a path less traveled, yet filled with wonders. Walk through the charming alleys of the white hamlet. Detour to the Cuevas de la Audiencia and discover the aboriginal dwellings, and Barranco de las Vacas, where nature’s artistry is on grand display.
This short hike, little more than 10 kilometers — walked on the 5th of August, 2018 — felt nontheless like a grand adventure and is a testament to the beauty that lies in the heart of Gran Canaria, away from crowds, noise and resorts. The photos captured by Valentina Kay and myself are moments frozen in time, each telling a story of its own of a rock on the brink of moving — never really doing that — shapes ephemeral and brave plants guarding the Macaronesian sky under a pitiless sun.
