Started from Puerto de Mogan (my place of employment) and after Mogan it becomes a beautiful climb with hairpin bends but PLEASE NOTE you can't go on to the Pico De Las Nieves because the road (GC-605) is closed with a big gate at the reservoir de las Ninas.... read more

Vanuit Puerto de Mogan (mijn standplaats) gestart en na Mogan wordt het pas een prachtige klim met haarspeldbochten maar LETOP je kunt nu helaas niet meer door naar de Pico De Las Nieves want de weg (GC-605) is afgesloten met een groot hek bij het stuwmeer de las Ninas.

I did the stretch from Mogan in January 2026. Beautiful climb with lots of hairpin turns. Road surface fine and recently guard rails everywhere.

Ik heb het stuk vanaf Mogan in januari 2026 gedaan. Prachtige klim met veel haarspeldbochten. Wegdek prima en sinds kort overal vangrails.

This one done via Salto del Perro. After Ayacata, which for most, is the main goal, left uphill, tough.
Then at the top a bit cooler and less difficult.

Deze gedaan via Salto del Perro. Na Ayacata, wat voor de meesten, het hoofddoel is, links omhoog, pittig.
Dan boven wat koeler en minder lastig.

A beautiful climb that I feel is a must do when cycling on GC :-)
Bring some extra clothes, as it can quickly get cold at the top.

Did the climb in combination with the ascent of Salto del Perro from Lomo Galeon, as it is not possible to cycle from Taurito over the GC-500 to Puerto de Mogán for the time being, so it was not possible for me to start over the GC-200.
Lots of nice road surface, but a few km bad on flat stretches. Superb scenery, views and greenery to cycle through, including the forest near the top and then the well-deserved views!

Beklimming gedaan in combinatie met de beklimming van Salto del Perro vanuit Lomo Galeon, omdat het voorlopig niet mogelijk is om vanuit Taurito over de GC-500 naar Puerto de Mogán te fietsen, zodat het voor mij niet mogelijk was om over de GC-200 te starten.
Veel mooi wegdek, maar een paar km slecht op vlakke stukken. Schitterende omgeving, uitzichten en groen om doorheen te fietsen, inclusief het bos vlakbij de top en dan het wel verdiende uitzicht!

A beautiful climb with, especially after Mogan, stunning hairpin turns and spectacular views. From Cruz de San Antonio to Ayacata very poor road surface. In Ayacata you can get some refuelling to cover the last difficult kilometres to the Pico.
From Ayacata it also got noticeably colder, so best to bring some extra clothing.

Een prachtige beklimming met zeker na Mogan een prachtige weg met goed asfalt, veel haarspeldbochten en spectaculaire uitzichten. Vanaf Cruz de San Antonio tot Ayacata zeer slecht wegdek. In Ayacata kun je wat bijtanken om de laatste lastige kilometers naar de Pico te overbruggen.
Vanaf Ayacata werd het ook merkbaar kouder, dus best wat extra kledij meenemen.

A lovely climb, and really not that hard. My climb was spoiled by bad weather at the top (3C and rain), so be sure to check the forecast and take appropriate gear. But really superb.

This is the most beautiful climb of the pico.
The piece from the village of Mogan is really beautiful and you're treated to several hairpin turns and beautiful views. I'm myself climbed to Ayacata and then back via San Bartolome down.

Dit is wel de mooiste klim van de pico.
Het stuk vanaf het dorpje Mogan is echt prachtig en je word getrakteerd op meerdere haarspeldbochten en prachtige vergezichten. Ik ben zelf doorgeklommen tot Ayacata en toen weer via San Bartolome naar beneden.
