The dirt road could also be followed left, winding easily down to the main road, but Rutas 31 and 32 run straight up a rocky path instead. It starts awkwardly but becomes easier, climbing a broad ridge between forest and scrub. Climb only until a path drifts left, Ruta 31, which links with a narrow, stone-paved path zigzagging down a steep slope of dense scrub. Cross the main road near Las Casetas and go through a barrier to continue the descent.

Follow a short stretch of dirt road, but turn left down a narrow zigzag path on another steep and scrubby slope. When a house is reached, turn left down a red-tiled path, cross a streambed, go down steps and pass some banana plants. Turn left to cross a bridge over a river then turn right to reach a road beside the Bar El Atajo at Lomo Fragoso.

Walk down the road, all the way through the Barranco de la Villa to San Sebastián. It sounds simple, but it is 6.5km (4 miles) to the town centre. Pass San Antonio and pass the Bar Restaurante La Cabaña at El Langrero. The road turns left to cross a bridge over the barranco then turns right past an ambulance station. Follow the road into San Sebastián, keeping left as signposted ‘centro ciudad’ under a road bridge. Walk straight into the town centre.
