We´ll have lunch together
View on the Roque-walk

What you won´t find in the touristguide...
you will hear during an excursion of La Palma Rural. Thanks to the well kept knowledge of Ricardo´s (great)grandparents, our neighbour Fidencia and other old friends from this area, Daphne can give you much more information during an excursion than you will read in the touristguide or will get during a normal excursion.

Small groups, beautiful walks and special stops.
The main part of our excursions is a nice walk. We start walking in a small group of 8-10 persons, or take a taxi to the beginning of the walk. On the way you will hear a lot about nature, about (former) habits of for example the goatherds and other details about the island. With all excursions we will stop over at our vineyard, where you will get an explanation of the complet wine production. This will be accompanied by a glass of our latest wine, which we store at our vineyard. When we arrive in El Pinar Ricardo will have lunch ready, wich we will consume all together in figyard. Ofcourse this will be served with a glass of our own wine. And than carefully off to your cottage...


Explanation in the vineyard

Our vineyard is the most romantic spot we have

Choose out of three excursions
All excursions start and/or end at El Pinar. You can choose from a light walk, a medium walk and quiet a tough walk:

1. Marvelous descending from Roque de los Muchachos at the crest of the Caldera. This walk starts with a ride by taxi to the highest peak, the Roque de los Muchachos (2.406 m.). From there we will walk in about 5,5 hours to El Pinar. Mainly descending, not very tough, but demanding for your knees. On the way walking down you will get the most beautiful views on the Caldera and on the other side on Garafia, Puntagorda en Tijarafe. At the end we will stop over at our vineyard, (see above). Then twenty more minutes downwards to El Pinar, where lunch is waiting for us. This walk really is worthwhile doing, and you won´t be able to do it yourself, because of transport to the Roque.

2. To the village Tijarafe This walk of about 4,5 hours start at our finca (El Pinar). First we ascend in 15 minutes to our vineyard, where we will explain our ecological winemaking. After that we slowely desdend on the PRLP 10 (la Traviesa) to the village Tijarafe. We´ll go throug deep gorges and beautiful crests. Not a very rough excursion: we are walking uphill and downhill, but the downhill wins. We will pass the deepest gorge of this part of the island: Barranco Jieque. From the village we´ll take a taxi, or Ricardo will come to pick us up.

3. Up and down to the vineyard. This forest path walk of less than one hour in total, is also suitable for children. If you don´t want to walk so long, but you do want the information, this is your change. We start and end at our house, where lunch will be served. Halfway there is the vineyard with the most romantic spot of our whole finca. Here we will explain the wine production of our own wine (see above).
