There are towns in Gran Canaria that stand out for their beauty and natural appeal. Teror<\/strong> is precisely one of those places worth visiting because of its wonderful surroundings. One of the most beautiful excursions you can do in this town is the Sendero del \u00c1lamo, Teror<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is known both for the beautiful Bas\u00edlica de la Virgen del Pino<\/strong> and for the culinary delicacies you can enjoy there. However, discovering the Barranco del \u00c1lamo<\/strong> and the Teror circular route<\/strong> is an opportunity to see the area from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characteristics of Sendero del \u00c1lamo, Teror<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Teror circular route<\/strong> is one of the simplest and most comfortable excursions, ideal for doing with the family. This trail is only 5.5 kilometres<\/strong> long, making it easy to include children in this beautiful activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One particular feature of this circular route in Teror<\/strong> is that, although it has a low level of difficulty, it can become challenging on a rainy day. For this reason, it is advisable to wear non-slip footwear<\/strong> and carry the corresponding trekking pole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most characteristic feature of this route is that it has two very vertical staircases<\/strong> that allow you to overcome the uneven sections. But once you have passed them, the walk does not involve any major difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Do the Teror Circular Route<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start the route, you should begin from the centre of the town of Teror<\/strong> itself. Once there, continue towards the neighbourhood of El \u00c1lamo<\/strong>, where you will pass the bridges of El Mu\u00f1igal<\/strong> and La Molineta<\/strong>. The first staircase hikers come across is about 4 metres<\/strong> high, so if you are going with children, you should climb it carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Sendero del \u00c1lamo in Teror<\/strong> is a very flat route, you need to be careful not to slip if you find yourself there on a rainy day. That is why we once again stress the importance of having good equipment to make the walk safer and much more comfortable, especially for those doing it for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking for contact with a type of nature different from what they can enjoy at the beach, this is the perfect setting. Along the entire Teror circular route<\/strong>, hikers can enjoy an incredible view of the native flora of the area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also worth noting that walkers will have the opportunity to come across farmers and livestock breeders from the municipality<\/strong>. Crops and farm animals are part of what visitors will find when doing the Sendero del \u00c1lamo route in Teror<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, this route creates the perfect union between tradition<\/strong> and nature<\/strong>. Hikers will have the chance to venture along trails full of lush vegetation<\/strong>, some narrower and more winding than others, but all with extraordinary charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route takes walkers to the neighbourhood of Arbejales<\/strong>. From here, the name of the circular route in Teror makes sense, as you then head back towards the neighbourhood of El \u00c1lamo<\/strong> and, from there, to the main square of the town of Teror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does the Route Take?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, the route is very simple. For those doing it for the first time, it will take around 4 hours approximately<\/strong>. An excellent tip is to visit the Barranco del \u00c1lamo<\/strong> in the morning, when the temperature is not so high and the walk is more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another recommendation is to do the Sendero del \u00c1lamo route in Teror<\/strong> on a Sunday. The reason for this is that you can also make the most of the day by visiting the town\u2019s famous market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing better for regaining your energy after completing the Teror circular route than giving in to the treats you can taste in the town. Do not forget to buy souvenirs to take with you and enjoy when you return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
