Not a typical mountain route but a challenge as an uphill!
Especially back you can use the many trails left and right as a shortcut
take. On the approximately 33 km long section up to the top of the pass (2300 m)
you have to trample constantly without a meter going flat.
All of this with a gradient of 7 to 12% and over 500 curves.
There is hardly any traffic on the route, every now and then a car with tourists.

Very long and quite demanding climb that from the center of Santa Cruz leads up to the "Roque de Los Muchachos" at 2426 meters above sea level. In total there are almost 41 kilometers that must be covered to reach the desired summit, but during the entire journey you can admire the wonderful landscapes that gradually open up to our eyes. Overall it is a street with little traffic and very quiet; I highly recommend checking the weather conditions before venturing towards the top because temperatures can drop significantly in winter and finding yourself pedaling in temperatures close to zero is not such a remote eventuality as you might expect from an island of the Canaries
