From the church of Candelaria, Frontera, part of the beautiful way PR EH 8. The history of this is like many in our islands, the need to go back and forth on the island. is known as the route of the molted, as several times a year the inhabitants of San Andrés and Isora they used to go to the Gulf, to harvest, planting or picking potatoes, etc ... and carried with all sorts of household goods and animals. Left two links that explain very well the whole story Part 1 and Part 2 My description does not have many details such as links, so I recommend reading the whole to be done this way.
In the beginning, behind the church is the beautiful bell Joapira visible from almost any point of Frontera, which will serve to place the beginning of the road. As elsewhere on the island, the route is well signposted. Opposite the church is taking a hard asphalt costs after about 500 m gives way to cobblestone with us for almost the whole way. Upload advise it if the day is rainy or humid since it becomes very slippery, even slipped up.
Once again we see how the island was lush in parts, a green blanket was impossible to guess the path from below. As you climb you will find all kinds of plants and large trees such as pine in the photo above, or large mocanes, the Shadow or the Pigs, the latter is so named because in roots has exposed the animals were tied during the molted. 
In many places the thickness of the vegetation completely surrounds us see only the way in which we flow. I think we were all truly captivated by the beauty of the surroundings. The road going engaging with the various posters that give name to every place, every plant, every tree. The arrival of a small gazebo, called the Miradero, deserves a good stop to regain strength and see the whole valley of El Golfo, Los Roques Salmor, the starting point and the coast in general. It is something worth seeing, if iron is not going to stop doing this way. 
Among nook and corner, photo and photo and we realize we are going up fast, we leave behind as we move laurel. The last part is a wooden fence to give greater security to the road. The final stretch takes us through a beautiful wooden arch Sabina to the shrine of the Virgin of Charity and Jinama viewpoint. From here there are spectacular views across the Gulf, although the sea of \u200b\u200bclouds we had taken the pleasure part. 
From the viewpoint we take the road and the two crossings before us we turn right, towards Frontera. To our left is known as GR 131 Camino de la Virgen and which is used in the lowering of the Virgen de los Reyes and which we must follow. The whole area is already flat, sparsely vegetated areas of lapilli. Following the instructions will arrive without problem to a small group of pine trees before crossing the road and begin the gap again. Along the way we can see different viewpoints but the fog prevents us from seeing anything. 
Bailadero We arrived at Halloween, name and place unique in that the pines have a look bleak, some bare, some dry matches. At least it seems that the name goes with the place. Again, the vegetation changed again and we are walking through mossy trees, but the best of this part was to come in the paths of Llania. Another laurel forest so lush and moist as the slopes of Jinama way, mixed with some really old pine copies for their height and thickness, welcomes us. It made you want to stay there. 
must be attentive to the diversion, since there are three circular paths of different lengths, unless we reach the starting point of any of them. Across the road, the road leading to the Hermitage of San Salvador is not entirely clear as it runs on a hillside on lapilli. Within minutes we came to this hermitage, a lonely but charming as the island. Appears to be carved into the cliff and made visible edges of the lapilli that have drawn many times during this journey. 
A few meters away is the road to border and also we have crossed several times during the day. Continue straight and we get full on the way San Salvador. How to describe this way after all this, I think it is amazing the most repeated word for all this kick. Again between faille, heather, ferns, moss ... we descend a steep slope along the road with long straight and following different signals. This road is not recommended due to the strong rise slope that has, until slowed down cost, being better sometimes to let go and jog slightly to not force the knees. 
Upon reaching the second asphalt road we turn right until it merges with the beginning of Jinama Road. Once again here we go down to the point of departure. To I recommend that you perform this move a reference book (we use the same you see in the picture) and, if possible, the route recorded in the GPS. We do not go by this , that except the last part, we take the road to get to the starting point was that we did. The duration is about 7 or 8 hours with many stops at an easy pace.
round off and climbed the bell tower, and by car, we headed to the Blue Pool and ended up giving us a refreshing bath in another beautiful corner of this island so full of detail.
photos, not to change, are commonplace and David Martin . Go billet, still remained many details and photos back.
