Short ascent with peaks at 10%, not bad but there is better on the island. I recommend returning by taking the more scenic road along the sea. I started just above Playa de las Americas. Climb to use as a post-Teide recovery.... read more

Salita breve con punte al 10%, niente male ma c’è di meglio nell’isola. Consiglio di tornare facendo la strada lungo mare sicuramente più scenica. Io sono partito da poco sopra Playa de las Americas. Salita da usare come recupero post Teide.

Good regular climb, nice surroundings and respectful cars. The first part is steeper and has more hairpin turns

Today Jan 3, 22 I did this climb from Tamaimo. Nice road, beautiful views, quite some traffic, but they stay nicely behind you until they can pass you. I continued via El Tanque to the coast down near Garachico, also very nice.

Vandaag 3 jan 22 deze klim gedaan vanaf Tamaimo. Mooie weg, prachtige uitzichten, wel redelijk wat verkeer, maar die blijven keurig achter je tot ze je ruim kunnen passeren. Ik ben nog verder gefietst via El Tanque naar de kust beneden bij Garachico, ook echt heel mooi

Nice climb with nice views (especially in the very first and last part). The first half of the climb up to Tamaimo is a bit steeper than the second half. You cycle here mainly between banana plantations, so for the better views you have to wait until the second part. Right at the start you will have some views of the beautiful steep rocks near Los Gigantes. The road surface is fine.

Leuke klim met mooie uitzichten (vooral in het allereerste en laatste deel). De eerste helft van de klim tot Tamaimo is iets steiler dan de tweede helft. Je fietst hier voornamelijk tussen bananenplantages, dus voor de mooiere uitzichten moet je ook wachten tot het tweede deel. Direct in het begin heb je wel af en toe uitzicht op de mooie steile rotsen bij Los Gigantes. Het wegdek is prima.
