more frequent and the numerous curves make us believe in the ancient legend that the path has as many turns as there are days in the year.<\/p><p>Continuing through Laurisilva we can observe how the Bejeques look for their place of survival on the most inaccessible slopes, specifically in the large dikes that cut through it, forming real populations and growing in the most unlikely places.<\/p><p>There are also Cerrajas on the sides of the road, which in the flowering season delight the eye with their spectacular colors and several species of fungi that take advantage of the moisture of the soil to grow and of course the Bicacarera, an endemic flower of the place that is not missing in this beautiful ecosystem, which with its spectacular inflorescence in the form of a small orange bell has become the main attraction of this great habitat.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #109bc5;\"><strong>\u201cEnjoy the authentic ecosystem of the Anaga Massif\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
