Highlight the spectacular views of the Timanfaya Geria and in much of the trail coexist in a common framework. We can start the kick in the conurbation of the Asomada from the road linking this town with the countryside of La Geria. Heading south we have several options to get through the thousands of vines, c Oquete shelter from the winds, amid the volcanic rofe very typical of the area. Very soon we will find the road that connects with The Geria Masdache, perpendicular to the downward path of the Asomada. Carefully cross the road and stumbled on a heap of black with a white masthead feature in its slope.
Go around the mountain to the southwest. As in almost all the way, these first pictures are a delight from the standpoint of contemplation. The grooves, which limits the volcanic rock and vine plantations form a clearly differentiating active in the landscape of Lanzarote. Rofe along with strong black and red edges that can be made out of Timanfaya, the trail invites you to stop at times and lose the view from north to south.
