El Castillejo

It would be too far, though, to run all the way from La Santa to Famara, climb the mountain and then run back again, so obviously the best way would be to use a bike as close to the ridge as possible. And since Tobias by coincidence was looking after the bike shed when he wasn't serving his duty as a swimming instructor, I initiated him in my plans. And, luckily enough, it turned out, that Tobias for all the time he had been here on La Santa, had had a secret dream himself of climbing exactly the same ridge. So very soon we made a deal, that if he organized two mountain bikes for us, I would see to that we would reach the summit of El Castillejo. No sooner said than done. After the morning's lesson in the pool we biked to Famara, had some tapas, and the continued along the beach towards El Castillejo.
