These salt flats in the municipality of Yaiza are the largest in Tenerife and are still active thanks to the fact that the European Union has protected them and that the government considers them an area of scientific interest.

Straight road between Playa Blanca and Janubio

On the journey to Playa Blanca, I was accompanied from Yaiza by Annabella from Kelsterbach. She wanted to do a circular route and gave me the tip that there was a turnoff to Yaiza before the section of road to Femés that was closed to cyclists. I then took this route.

The loop has a few special features. The southern view of El Golfo is very easy to reach for cyclists, unlike car drivers, and isn't as crowded as the "traditional" viewpoint.

The forbidden road is officially closed. However, I was tipped off that it's open to cyclists, and I wasn't disappointed, as you practically have the coastal road to yourself.

Nice tour of the island mid-east side with 1100 alt.meters. Just a small section on light gravel to avoid the main road.
