Many walking paths are so called "Caminos Reales" = "Royal Pathways". They were built shortly after the conquest by the Spanish with funds from their royal dynasty to ensure an infrastructure for better control over the conquered territories of Gran Canaria. These trails were wide enough so that a farmer could get his products to the next market with his donkey cart. Some of these pathways served as pilgrimage routes and were also used to bury the deceased on far away cemeteries. Many of these "Camino Reales" have been restored lately.
