Tough climb but quite doable. On the way, no restaurants open until the summit (Monday, November). Depending on the cloud cover, it can be either cold or very hot so keep that in mind with clothing and the weather forecast can also be quite wrong with that in terms of temperature.

One of the hardest climb on the island but also a beautiful one. Check the weather forecast and enjoy a nice/long day.

Did this climb spontaneous, started from Arinaga/coast and during the ride I thought might as well go there. Little did I know it would be the most difficult climb on the island. Good thing there are many shops you cross to get some energy back. Climbed for 56km at average of 13.5km/h pretty proud 😎
