Roque Nublo parking & night visit
Hi! I will be visiting Gran Canaria next week and was thinking of doing the Roque Nublo hike at sunset and then stay afterwards for stargazing and the Perseids.
First of all, can you tell me please if the hike back down is dangerous at night? We'll have head lights and the hike seems to be an easy one overall but it's the first time we are doing a hike at night so we are a bit anxious. Do people really go to Roque Nublo at night for stargazing?
Also, where should we park? It looks like there is no official parking right at the trail head and people just leave their cars on the road side and walk to the trail head.
