The Transvulcania running race. The route starts at the Faro de Fuencaliente lighthouse and continues along the “Gran Recorrido” trail GR 131, also known as ‘Ruta del Bastón’, to Puerto de Tazacorte. From there, it connects with the GR 130, Camino Real de la Costa, to the finish line, located in the Plaza de España – Los Llanos de Aridane.
