Ridden May 20, 2026. Started from Guarachico ; matter of warming up legs for this brutal climb. In the book "100 Greatest climbs of Spain" this barely 3km long route is described as THE steepest climb of Tenerife. Only in the first 200m where the road winds between the banana plantations are the gradients still manageable. Afterwards it is often around 15% and more. In the curves you can recover briefly.

Ridden May 20, 2026. Started from Guarachico ; matter of warming up legs for this brutal climb. In the book "100 Greatest climbs of Spain" this barely 3km long route is described as THE steepest climb of Tenerife. Only in the first 200m where the road winds between the banana plantations are the gradients still manageable. Afterwards it is often around 15% and more. In the curves you can recover briefly. When you see the right-hand bend with the white houses above it (see photo), know that you are starting on the steepest part (up to 25%). Should you set foot here you will never get back on your bike (!). A super experience that pushed my power output to the limit. Oh and last but not least : billiard flat asphalt!

Gereden op 20 mei 2026. Vertrokken vanaf Guarachico ; kwestie van benen op te warmen voor deze brutale klim. In het boekje "100 Greatest climbs of Spain" staat deze amper 3km lange route beschreven als DE steilste klim van Tenerife. Enkel in de eerste 200m waar de weg tussen de bananen-plantages slingert blijven de stijgingspercentages nog behapbaar. Nadien vaak rond de 15% en meer. In de bochten kan je kort herstellen. Als je de bocht naar rechts ziet met daarboven de witte huizen (zie foto) weet dan dat je aan het steilste stuk begint (tot 25%). Moet je hier voet aan grond zetten dan geraak je nooit meer op je fiets (!). Een super ervaring die mijn power output tot de limiet dreef. Oh en last but not least : biljart vlak asfalt !!
