Las Casillas, where partly-ruined houses huddle together in a gap on a rugged mountain crest

Start climbing up the ridge, but drift left and watch for yellow/white markers while climbing higher. Pass a huddle of heather trees and zigzag up past a stump of rock. The path eventually reaches a rocky crest bearing a line of telegraph poles. Turn left and use these as giant waymarks, revealing a rugged path making a rising traverse past rampant bushy scrub. Cross a rocky gap and follow the path through a bit of laurisilva woodland. Climb a little and later go down past Las Casillas, where a huddle of buildings, partly ruined, lie just off the ridge around 635m (2085ft).

Follow the path close to the ridge and pass just to the right of a pylon on a gap. The path climbs, then mostly runs down across a slope of laurisilva, passing a couple of houses. Rise and fall, in and out of laurisilva, and climb through dense woods to a road junction (bus service). The road left seems to wind forever up to El Bailadero. The road downhill is for Chamorga. The road immediately to the right runs to a little cemetery, around 635m (2085ft).
