Really good hike, 99% downhill, starts high in the cow pastures and goes deep into valley (crossing a boulder-strewn stream that was dry in Oct. 2018, but could also be water-filled), then goes out to the coast and the fajans. Don’t do it without a guide; bulls can be dangerous, possible stream crossing, and path is not marked and somewhat overgrown (at least until it meets the well-trod path near the coast).
