This Saturday, April 17th, sees the 5th edition of the annual Ruta del Hermano Pedro in Granadilla de Abona, when thousands will join a pilgrimage to follow the route taken by Brother Peter when he was a simple goatherd, from his home up in Tenerife's highest village of Vilaflor, down to his cave near the airport.
The airport wasn't there, of course, when he was in the early-mid 1600s, which is a shame, because it would have been handy for his later journey to Guatemala, where he did the good deeds that earned him his Sainthood.
Whether for religious reasons or for an unique view of the countryside, this little 16 kilometre stroll, passing though Vilaflor, Granadilla, Charco del Pino, San Isidro and El Médano could make a very different and interesting day out.
The walk is guided and security, civil protection and Red Cross will be in attendance.
Inscription needs to be made by calling 922 759900, where you can get more information about the times of the departure from various points.
