Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Some segments of this route may be unpaved and difficult to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

GC-210 Hairpin Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

This pass has boring hairpins and good views, but since it does not have the best surface, it is recommended to do it uphill.

We had to laugh heartily when we mentioned in the bike rental shop that we want to ride the "Valley of Tears" today - and especially the short, crisp version - and we were then told that we should already prepare the divorce papers!!😂

On the first 2km of the GC606 (the short variant of this "Valley of Tears" route) we knew immediately what the girls at the bike rental meant!!🙈 Ramps of the nasty kind. Either our rear wheel was spinning or our front wheel was lifting. In addition, there is quite bumpy asphalt with cracks and pebbles. 😱 And it doesn't get any better after the 2 km either. We must have been at the limit 4 or 5 times. But to be honest, you also have to say: If you climb 1,000 meters in 10km, then you can only do it with beastly inclines. 😉

A highlight, well, of a special kind. 😉 I can therefore not recommend the GC606 either uphill or downhill. In the future we will probably drive the "Valley of Tears" via the GC210 and prefer to take on the additional 400m from Artenara to Ayacata. They don't hurt like the beastly GC606 ramps.

If you want to continue happily touring with your cycling partner: Make a marriage contract beforehand!🤣

Views of Roque Bentayga

Highlight • Natural Monument

Roque Bentayga is one of the most iconic geological formations on the entire island of Gran Canaria.

Located within the volcanic caldera of Tejada at 1,414 meters above sea level, it is known for its basaltic pitons. The first settlements of the Guanches, the aboriginal people of the Canary Islands, were in this same area of the Nublo Rural Park.

Tejeda

Highlight • Settlement

Tejeda has some spectacular mountains ⛰ and the landscape is very beautiful with the smell of fresh pine 🌳🌿🌾🌱 but if you want to go down to Tejeda town
To go to Maspalomas, I do not recommend it 👎because you will have to go back the way you came because the one way to Maspalomas is cut off👎🤦

Section of the GC-200 with spectacular curves and beautiful views of both the sea and the Tamadaba Natural Park. Depending on the season there may be traffic on the road. In February 2022 there were quite a few works on this section, but it should be fine by now.
