One of the longer climbs with the most altimeters on the island, but not the most scenic. You still have nice views from time to time and ride through beautiful surroundings. After the village of Faja Grande, you ride through a stretch of forest that is not very spectacular and it is very likely that you will have to cycle a good part through the fog that is usually present on the higher parts of the island.... read more

One of the longer climbs with the most altimeters on the island, but not the most scenic. You still have nice views from time to time and ride through beautiful surroundings. After the village of Faja Grande, you ride through a stretch of forest that is not very spectacular and it is very likely that you will have to cycle a good part through the fog that is usually present on the higher parts of the island.

Een van de langere klimmen met de meeste hoogtemeters van het eiland, maar niet de allermooiste. Nog steeds heb je af en toe mooie vergezichten en rij je door een mooie omgeving. Na het dorpje Faja Grande rijdt je een stuk door het bos dat niet heel spectaculair is en het is zeer waarschijnlijk dat je een flink deel door de mist moet fietsen die meestal op de hogere delen van het eiland aanwezig is.
