This weekend, on Saturday, 18th April 2015, is the annual Camino del Hermano Pedro - a pilgrimage route originally taken by goatherd Hermano Pedro (Brother Peter), Tenerife's first saint. According to the town hall of Granadilla de Abona, this year more than a thousand people have signed up to take part in the 19km hike, a figure that's expected to exceed those recorded in previous years.
For about five hours, walkers can enjoy natural and cultural elements, lots of terraces and orchards and a unique flora; scrub, pine, and fauna of great interest can be seen along the entire route .
Inscription closed on April 10th, so this is definitely one to put in your diary for next year.
Fluent in Spanish and having spent 16 years on the island, Pamela Stocks has now been translating, researching and publishing information on customs and events in Tenerife for 25+ years. This takes a considerable amount of time and effort, for which she receives no payment whatsoever. If you find this work useful or interesting, please buy her a coffee.
