View of the Mountains and Sea

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view over mountains to the sea. The road is actually closed to bicycles. But it is good to drive on bad asphalt.

Degollada de la Cruz Grande Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Cruz Grande is an important starting point for hikes. From here, trails start to the reservoir Chira, to San Bartolomé (Tunte), to the Cruz de Tejeda or to the Pico de las Nieves. There is a bus stop at Cruz Grande, served by bus line 18 (Maspalomas Tejeda), but only every few hours. Information: globalsu.es

Very nice road bike tour along the coast to Arguinguin, up the valley to the Tauro Pass, over the plateau to Ayacata and over Cruz Grande and Yeguas Pass down to Maspalomas.
