Please see my previous reviews. I was with my partner again, so we walked around the base of the mountain as we could not afford the 4 hours it would take her to get down from the top! Either way, taking any trail is very good and scenic.

I love El Medano and the nature that comes with it. It can be nice and warm and occasionally the wind blows. That is when the windsurfers and kite surfers are in action. It is a colourful site to see. If YOU cannot change it do not complain/ write about it. Find a sheltered area and enjoy your holiday.

Beautiful place a stones throw away from the hotels. Walk past the kite/ wind surfers and find a well marked trail. The terrain goes from rocky to sandy and gravel up the trail. Loved the challenge

Its definitely not a nude beach as many sources say. So I had to wear my swimmers. All that effort for nothing. Apart from that it’s not a bad beach as for the conditions of this island.

Great beach for windsurfing and walking, or just enjoying the sea and nature.
