Follow this enchanting hiking trail between palm trees and the sea for magnificent views with a bit of history. Rambla means esplanade or promenade in Spanish, and Castro means fort or fortification. But despite what you might think, the walk has little to do with fortifications and is named after the ex-owner of this land, Don Hernando de Castro. The walk can be done in both ways. We recommend starting from Mirador de San Pedro and walking down to Punta Brava. A good idea could be to take a cab from Puerto de la Cruz to Mirador de San Pedro (about 10 EUR as of January 2021) and walk all the way back. Alternatively, you can park your car at the Mirador (there are some parking spaces) and then take a taxi back from Punta Brava or Puerto de la Cruz. As of January 2021, part of the path between Romantica and Hotel Maritim was officially closed, but still accessible (at your own risk).
