San Juan de la Rambla Coastal Path

Highlight • Trail

Careful - you have to cross the Baranco de Ruiz in its lower part, which is not easy. Then there is, but no way to reach the Playa de Socorro. …

We start at the tourist information office in San Juan de La Rambla with free parking. If you can't find parking here, you can also park on the coast in …

I'm excited to see if there will be tours that come close to the spectacular "Los Gigantes" and "Las Ventanas de …
