Hike 78: San Miguel/Aldea Blanca
San Miguel is located in the south about 15 km from the airport. The tour offers a barranco-like descent to the small village of Aldea Blanca. We park the car on the TF-28. The path first leads to the Iglesia San Miguel. From here the descent begins on a somewhat uneven path between terraced fields. It is not a barranco although the path has that character.
Â
The descent to Aldea Blanca is quite long at 7.5 km. The small town is nice to look at. At the church you can take a little rest on a bench. The ascent is sometimes steep, sometimes quite even and overall not too long at 3.5 km. The circular route ends just before the church of San Miguel.

A detailed description of the route and the GPS track can be found in the Hiking Guide Tenerife.
