There is a metal marker beside the track, where a path heads off to the right, bending, rising and falling while cutting across rocky and stony slopes. A path junction is reached where there is a choice between zigzagging down to the sea and climbing again, or drifting inland with less descent and ascent. Both paths rejoin before a mapboard is reached at the seaside village of Playa Quemada. Follow roads that run close to the sea to spot a number of bar restaurants. There is a mapboard and signpost at a bus shelter beside a road junction, but no bus services. Unless a pick-up or taxi can be arranged, walkers need to continue along the coast for another hour.

Walk to the far end of the village, to the end of the tarmac road, where a track continues parallel to the coast. The track is mostly used by cyclists; walkers might prefer to follow a narrow, rugged path near the low cliffs of Risco Prieto. Either way, head towards the large Hotel Hesperia Lanzarote. Join a road and rise to pass the hotel entrance. When a road junction is reached turn right downhill, and the road then bends left and begins to rise. Watch on the right for a house called Gran Cortijo Viejo, where a gritty path and a few steps drop to a brick-paved promenade.
