Although most of the path is straightforward and poses no difficulties, there is a small descent towards Playa de la Cocina that can be a bit more challenging due to the unstable terrain. However, the panoramic views throughout the journey are simply stunning.

Additionally, during the hike, you will have the opportunity to observe a wide variety of birds, such as the silver gull (Larus cachinnans), the Mediterranean shearwater (Calonctris diomedea), and Bulwer's petrel (Bulweria bulwerii), among other species. You will also marvel at the local flora, which features plants capable of surviving in extreme conditions of salinity and aridity, such as the balancón (Traganum moquinii) and the white salado (Polycarpea nivea).

The trail begins at the southern tip of Caleta de Sebo, near the facilities and camping area of Bahía del Salado. From this point, you will embark on an exciting adventure along the coast, following a path that winds almost parallel to the shoreline. As you progress, you will be immersed in an impressive landscape where the natural beauty of La Graciosa unfolds in all its glory.

After approximately 5 kilometers of hiking, you will reach Playa de la Cocina, a truly spectacular spot that will take your breath away. Here, you will be greeted by crystal-clear waters lapping at the soft golden sand, all framed by the majestic presence of Montaña Amarilla, which rises imposingly to 172 meters high. This combination of elements creates a magical setting that seems straight out of a fairy tale, making Playa de la Cocina one of the most enchanting places in all of the Canary Islands.
