Really nice road surface only the last bit is a bit lower quality. Quiet climb and some hairpin bends. Nice views.

Nice as a first and/or last day ride. Can also be a fine ride at the end of the day, if you need some more :-)

Not very interesting, you ride through a valley, the surface is ok, not much to see here. There is a decent strava segment 🙂

There is a dam at the end of the ascent, the tarmac is so-so, the views like elsewhere on the island nothing special. Worthwhile as a warm-up.

Nice environment, cycling in a canyon with small villages and not a lot of car traffic. It starts very easy, and at the end you can also do some gravel path to get to the top of the dam, with a great view.

Done first to get in the mood. Nice round trip via Montaña la Data back to Maspalomas.
