A fairly demanding climb, but one that offers a lot of excitement, both in terms of the landscape - the views that open up in front of us along the entire route are very impressive - and in terms of the sporting aspect: it is certainly a great challenge to tackle the steep ramps of this lonely climb! I was able to tackle it in the late afternoon and only encountered one car on the way up, but I believe that traffic is very limited throughout the day... read more

After the ford, the challenging continuous climb to Los Brecitos begins. The very first kilometre is a borderline experience with gradients of up to 17 ％. The single-lane road winds its way upwards in countless hairpin bends. On the ascent, you have the route you have just travelled to the ford in view, knowing that this will also have to be mastered afterwards. A constant companion on the ascent is the chirping of crickets and lizards disappearing from the road. The views into the caldera become ever deeper, the views of the Atlantic to the west ever more sublime. A passage between several houses halfway along the route causes the gradient indicator to shoot up again to 18 ％. On the last few kilometres, the cyclist is immersed in pine forests and can breathe in the inimitable scent of pine trees.
The end point is a simple turning point that rewards the effort with magnificent views of the caldera and views of the Atlantic Ocean and Los Llanos.
On the descent, don't be surprised if, despite the speed limit (see sign) on the narrow road, taxis make it clear that they want to go faster.

Nach der Furt beginnt der herausfordernde durchgängige Anstieg nach Los Brecitos. Gleich der erste Kilometer birgt mit Steigungsprozenten mit bis zu 17 ％ Grenzerfahrungen. In unzähligen Serpentinen schraubt sich die einspurige Straße in die Höhe. Auf der Auffahrt hat man die gerade gefahrene Strecke zur Furt im Blick mit dem Wissen, dass diese im Nachgang ebenfalls noch zu bewältigen ist. Steter Begleiter bei der Auffahrt ist das viele Grillengezirpe sowie Eidechsen, die von der Straße verschwinden. Die Einblicke in die Caldera werden immer tiefer, die Ausblicke zum Atlantik in Richtung Westen immer erhabener. Eine Durchfahrt zwischen mehreren Häusern auf der Hälfte der Strecke lässt die Steigungsanzeige nochmals auf 18 ％ hochschnellen. Auf den letzten Kilometern taucht man in Pinienwälder ein und lässt den Radler die unnachahmliche Piniendüfte einatmen.
Der Endpunkt ist ein schlichter Wendehammer, der die Mühen durch grandiose Einblicke in die Caldera und Ausblicke zum Atlantik sowie nach Los Llanos belohnt.
Bei der Abfahrt sollte man sich nicht wundern, wenn trotz der vorliegenden Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung (siehe Schild) der engen Straße Taxis klar zum Ausdruck bringen, dass sie schneller unterwegs sein wollen.

Una salita abbastanza impegnativa ma che regala tante emozioni sia dal lato paesaggistico, decisamente suggestive le viste che si aprono davanti a noi lungo tutto il percorso, sia che da quello sportivo: sicuramente una bella sfida affrontare le ripide rampe di questa salita solitaria! io ho potuto affrontarla nel tardo pomeriggio e salendo ho incontrato una sola auto ma credo che il traffico sia molto limitato durante tutta la giornata

This is a superb climb!
To get to the start you must complete ~150m high nasty little hill (if you start in Los Llanos) and cross a river bed. This is the only part where wide tires are really useful. If you are fine with wet feet, carrying the bike is an option, too. Now the fun starts. The first kilometer is brutally steep, but it gets easier. The ascent is quite uneven, with many little (partly steep) ascents, followed by plain sections and some smaller descents. During the whole climb you can enjoy spectacular views into the caldera and on Puerto de Tazacorte. Only taxis have access to the road, no private cars. Hence, traffic is not a big issue. Nevertheless be careful, in particular when descending. Some taxi drivers are reckless - time is money for them.
