PR TF 6.1

This route from Chamorga saves 2km (1½ miles), but does not visit Roque Bermejo. Leave the bar and go up a concrete road, which quickly ends and gives way to a rugged path. This climbs across a scrub-covered slope and keeps left of a curious outcrop of rock. An easy stretch undulates through laurisilva woods, rises with steps, and zigzags up a rock face with a fence beside at a higher level. Walk to a gap where the ruined Casas de Tafada stand, with patchy laurisilva around. The path rises a little on the mountain crest then heads left into the laurisilva. Trees give way to a scrub-covered slope as the path winds down to a junction near the Faro de Anaga. Turn left to continue along the PR TF 6.

Roque Bermejo seen from the lower part of the Barranco de Roque Bermejo

The path undulates and winds easily across the slope, past fennel and tangled scrub. Pass beneath an overhang and later go round into a gully where there is a little shrine. Cross a crumbling slope and pass overhangs. Climb a little, then wind down past a building with a wine press, and down past a cave beneath a huge boulder. Go in and out of a couple of gullies, getting close-up views of the islets of Roque de Dentro. Roque de Dentro is a sacred Guanche burial site. Climb through a barranco full of aloes to reach Las Palmas de Anaga, and pass the buildings with care as the cliffs beneath are crumbling.
