Tenguía volcano and surroundings


The lighthouse and Salinas de Fuencaliente
From the summit is followed back the same path in the direction to the small crater, a very curious one and very accessible. Almost when the path is about to go up again to the volcano of San Antonio there is a small path that goes to the small crater and joins a bigger trail that leads to the south through a very black terrain.
The trail crosses a road 3 times to finally arrive at the beautiful Faro de Fuencaliente (lighthouse) and the old saltworks of Fuencaliente.
Recommendations
-Be careful with the weather conditions because it can change quickly and in an unexpected way, especially during winter. In case of bad weather conditions like winds up to 50km/h, fog, rain or other inclement weather do not hike around the area or be very careful if you decide to take this risk.
-In case of setting up a tent to avoid the camping areas and nearby without permission and notice that is illegal to set up a tent in Spain. If it is wanted to take the risk, set up the tent in a remote place at sunset and wake up early to avoid forest rangers. During summertime, there are more controls.
-Your safety is our concern but it is your responsibility. Hiking in nature requires a minimum of preparation and wearing warm clothes and proper boots always with us.
