Nice climb with beautiful tarmac (the descent is super for good descenders!).

A flat driveway, the surface is just so-so, you have to be careful, there is a good pub in the valley where you can stop and have a coffee or something to eat.

Very nice and consistent climb. Ends with a beautiful view and if you do it you are very likely going to do Masca after so treat these 12kms as a warm up.

During the Masca tour (counter-clockwise), you won't escape this climb.

Doesn't really get difficult anywhere and is quite doable. The view at the top is also very nice, as you look in two directions, North and South. (Photo is south) While driving up, I only came across one car.

A short descent before the next climb "Mirador de la Cruz de Hilda" which is suddenly quite tough again.

Nice climb, but not very special. Maybe this is because what comes after this climb surpasses everything. You drive in the direction of Masca. This climb is not very difficult, the road surface is fine, like most places I have been on Tenerife and there is not much traffic.
