Ronny's traveller blog

My second weekend bike tour on La Palma (the first is described in La Palma (5)) led south and steadily uphill again. Since I didn’t want to go back to the west side of the island, I used one of the forest paths back. From then on it was very quiet and I didn’t see anyone for a long time. The change in vegetation was also very interesting, from very dry landscape to pine forests and later evergreen laurel forests. In the end I came out again at the Refugio de El Pilar at 1500m. The return trip was great again, the pleasure of converting the work of the last few hours into speed and the wind in your face just felt good.
