This climb to Las Tricias follows the LP-114, which you take as soon as you return from Santo Domingo in the direction of LP-1 and thus towards the south/west side of the island.
The highest point is reached about 1 kilometre after the village of Las Tricias. There you will find yourself at the fork in the road that leads towards Barlovento and Roque de los Muchachos, or towards Tijarafe.
The road has recently been completely resurfaced and, as is usually the case in the north, there is little traffic on the road.
At 6.89 kilometres and 505 metres in altitude, this climb should not be underestimated. The vegetation here is very green and you will pass many pretty dragon trees. The effects of the recent forest fires are also clearly visible on the pine trees.
The last few kilometres of the pass are the most difficult. Again and again you face very steep ramps. In Las Tricias there is a supermarket where you can take a break and a wonderful photo spot with the typical Canarian church.

Dieser Anstieg nach Las Tricias folgt der LP-114 welche ihr befahrt, sobald ihr von Santo Domingo wieder zurück in Richtung LP-1 und somit zur Süd/Westseite der Insel unterwegs seit.
Der höchste Punkt ist etwa 1 Kilometer nach dem Ort Las Tricias erreicht. Dort befindet ihr euch dann auf der Weggabelung welche in Richtung Barlovento und Roque de los Muchachos führt, oder in Richtung Tijarafe.
Die Straße wurde seit kurzem komplett neu Asphaltiert und wie meist im Norden habt ihr wenig Verkehr auf der Straße.
Mit seinen 6,89 Kilometer und 505 Höhenmetern ist dieser Anstieg auf keinen Fall zu unterschätzen. Die Vegetation ist hier sehr grün, ihr kommt an vielen hübschen Drachenbäumen vorbei. Auch sind an den Kiefern die Auswirkungen der letzten Waldbrände deutlich zu sehen.
Die letzten Kilometer des Passes sind die schwierigsten. Immer wieder steht ihr vor sehr steilen Rampen. In Las Tricias befindet sich ein Supermarkt, welcher zum Rast einlegen einlädt und ein wunderschöner Fotospot mit der kanarisch-typischen Kirche.
