Also from this side the climb to the Teide is very beautiful and very different from the west side from Los Gigantes. From Granadilla on, the road gets more winding and you get to see more of the trees. This remains so after Vilaflor all the way to the top of the crater rim. Then you descend into the Teide National Park and the scenery changes completely. All you see are rocks, lava rocks and of course the volcano Teide. Good road surface everywhere. In the winter bring some clothing against the cold at the top and for the descent.
Ook van deze kant is de klim naar de Teide erg mooi en heel anders dan vanaf de westkant vanuit Los Gigantes. Vanaf Granadilla kom je wat meer tussen de bomen en gaat de weg wat meer slingeren. Dit blijft zo voorbij Vilaflor helemaal tot je bovenaan de kraterrand bent. Daarna daal je af het nationaal park Teide in en verandert de omgeving compleet. Je ziet dan alleen nog rotsen, lavagesteente en natuurlijk de vulkaan Teide. Goed wegdek overal. In de winter zeker kleding meenemen tegen de kou boven en voor in de afdaling.
Like all climbs in Tenerife, I have experienced that it is very safe to ride as a cyclist. You have more the wind as an enemy than any motorized vehicle, even on busy roundabouts the cyclist is safe.
Zoals alle klimmen in Tenerife, heb ik ervaren dat het als fietser zeer veilig rijden is. Je hebt hier meer de wind als vijand dan om het even welk gemotoriseerd voertuig, zelfs op drukke rotondes is de fietser veilig.
