How far can you walk down the coast from Los Cristianos, is La Calleta the limit or can you walk on to say Playa Parasio or further? What is total length in miles ( don't do the metric thing ) for this route ?

Measured it as 6.68miles on Google Earth.
I have done this walk several times,usually from La Caleta to Los Chris and met Sharon in a bar in Los Chris (No change there then :lol:)

Not sure if you can go past La Caleta?

The bit beyond La Caleta requires plenty of time and good footwear.

Tom at least you know where you are with Sharon she is either shopping or boozing ( or complaining about holiday makers ) :cheeky:

.....

When we stayed in Port Royale we did "the walk" from PR to La Caleta - ish
and back! never again!
I've never been so knackered!:sleeping:
when we got back to PR I was straight in the pool fully clothed!
And that was on good tarmac'd roads!!
don't know if we will ever know how far we can walk unless some kind person tells us!!

Hi Davie how long did it take there and then how long back ? I am looking to arrange a sponsered walk sometime next year to support a couple of charities. We are perhaps looking at coming to Tenerife to do this and are looking for a nice safe route with lots of people going about thats not to easy / not too difficult if you know what I mean. I was thinking this route might suit but if anyone has any other ideas let me have your suggestions

Jim you can walk right along the coast past La Caleta but if it is a hard walk up and down a few rocks a little bit dangerous though for a sponsored walk.
Please give us more details on what you plan to do i am sure a few members would love to join in and help raise a bit of cash.

Hi AJ I usually walk to La Caleta from Puerto Colon area / takes about 30-40 mins reasonable pace - I reckon the same to Los Cristianos from Puerto Colon .
Once you get to back of La Caleta there is a track up the hill to what is regarded as a " nature reserve "- scrubland as in video .
Why not continue up hill on road to Adeje and feast on garlic chicken in Oasis or the like and get the bus back !
Or go into Adeje golf club at top of road and have the buffet ?

Awritey AJ?
we did it at our own pace kiddo, all Day! bout 6/7 hours!
it was'nt a route-march like your planning!
you know,
D went into a shop & I went into a Pub type thing! we walked right along the sea walkway till we had to go on main roads, then follow'd the roads -Ave Rafael Puig to colon, fanabe and round the bays as far as we could go,
lots of wee roads you can take but I'd stick to the main drag as far as it goes!

it's quite strange at the end of the road, it just ends!
and the earie fealing you get is very overpowering! you feal lost! we could'nt wait to get back to civilisation!
so on the way back we stuck to the main roads!
great walk but very hard specially in the sun!
done it once, thats enuff for me!
we still walk, but stop mibbees at La Pinta up the red stairs to the pub at a Euro a pint! and head back.

I reckon 15 mins from Bahia del Duque to La Caletta - no watering holes until you get there though!

from los chris to La caleta is a pleasant stroll of a walk, altho I have not done all of it at once. Stayed at Paraiso one year and went to look at walking from there to caleta but decided it was too rough without boots, lots of water and a companion. Footpath is quite rough with lots of loose stones and rocks, quite barren, and good twisted ankle and knee territory!
