On the first couple of nights I stayed at the Parque Hotel near the San Telmo bus station in Las Palmas,and then moved up to the mountain village of Tejeda for three nights before returning to the Parque for the final two nights.Packed the usual light weight rucksack which meant that I could incorporate a walk into the days on which I was moving between accommodation.
