Note the number of dragon trees around Chamorga, and start from the bar, Casa Alvaro. There are two options for reaching the lighthouse, Faro de Anaga, either by walking down the barranco via the PR TF 6, or climbing above the bar and crossing the mountainside via the PR TF 6.1.

A footbridge across the stream in the Barranco de Roque Bermejo

PR TF 6

The road has a metal fence to the right, which continues down a concrete path with steps, passing houses. Cross a footbridge, go down a path with more steps and cross another footbridge. A narrow path follows a streambed, joining a broader path which is actually the continuation of the road. Turn right to follow it and later note a little house on the left. The path becomes more rugged as it descends through the Barranco de Roque Bermejo, either stone-paved or on bare rock. There is a big cave up to the left as the path climbs over a rocky notch.

Go down stone steps and a stone-paved path, over a rocky hump, then down to cross a couple of wooded footbridges over a cane-choked streambed. Rise a little and go round a corner, then down a winding path. Roque Bermejo is framed in the mouth of the barranco. The Casas Blancas are in ruins, so keep walking downhill, squeezing between cultivated areas, to reach a signpost at the bottom. The route turns left, but it is worth turning right first, down to houses at Roque Bermejo, climbing back afterwards. Turning left leads up a sweeping zigzag track, gravelly, gritty or stone-paved, up crumbling slopes covered in tabaibal, to the lighthouse of Faro de Anaga, at 230m (755ft). Continue up to a junction with the PR TF 6.1 and keep right.
