Hiking adventures

I got into hiking during my PhD, thanks to my colleagues — who quickly became close friends. What began as a weekend activity soon turned into one of my favorite ways to explore nature, disconnect, and recharge.

Teide — del mar al cielo (Ruta 042)

Hiking from Playa del Socorro at sea level to the summit of Teide (3715 m) — the highest mountain in Spain.

On April 3rd, 2023, we completed this 42 km route in 18 hours, with a total elevation gain of 4000 m and elevation loss of 1700 m.

I'd never been this tired in my entire life.

See Wikiloc route.

Sa Travessa, GR-221 (Ruta de la Pedra en Sec)

Multi-day hiking through the Serra da Tramuntana (Mallorca).

My friend Àlex (the guy on the right) made a project about it.
