A fine climb, well worth the effort. However, watch out for the more difficult section around 12-5km before the summit. The gradients are steeper and the road much rougher, which adds to the difficulty and discomfort. So the real challenge is up to 5km from the finish. Once you've passed that section it's very easy so enjoy the last few kilometres.... read more

Belle ascension qui vaut la peine. Attention toutefois à la partie plus difficile entre 12 et 5km avant le sommet environ. Les pourcentages sont plus importants et la route y est beaucoup plus rugueuse, ce qui ajoute de la difficulté et de l'inconfort. Le vrai défi est donc jusqu'à 5km de l'arrivée. Une fois que vous avez passé cette section c'est très facile donc profitez des derniers kilomètres.

A must on the north side of the island. Some traffic to Moya, after that much less. Beautiful scenery, nice church in Moya. After Moya you can also take the GC-700 and GC-704 as an alternative. Takes you through a nice natural park (Los Tilos de Moya), beautiful but very steep.

Beautiful ride, first kilometres some traffic but then quiet, green, through forest, shadows, bit Italian-looking. Above 1000m some worse road surface and a bit rougher, nice view of Tejeda above.

Prachtige rit, eerste kilometers wat verkeer maar daarna rustig, groen, door bos, schaduwen, beetje Italiaans aandoend. Boven 1000m wat slechter wegdek en wat ruiger, mooi uitzicht over Tejeda boven.
