Amazing trail, incredibly varied terrain. I hiked the northern section of the GR132 counter clockwise to Vallehermoso and then came back along the GR131 to San Sebastián. This to me was the best of both worlds with stunning coastal views and then high mountains after. Challenging but rewarding with some amazing ridgelines and views back to Mount Teide. This hike has terrain ranging from desert to tropical forests which change every time you go over a mountain range. Weather was overall very good with one day of full rain which I took as a rest day. Temperatures were anywhere from 26c in the day to around 12-14c at altitude overnight. Food & drink, hotels and public transport are incredibly cheap on the island which is a bonus. The route is incorrect on Hiiker however. The section between San Sebastián & Hermigua is completely incorrect at the time of writing (December 2022). The route itself is well waymarked so I had to follow the signs for that section. Hopefully they’ll update this. Overall I loved this trail and the island is gorgeous. Give it a go, you won’t regret it!
