West side of the Teide

For a longer ride starting from the south that doesn’t go all the way to El Teide, this one hits the mark. Head north toward the town of Chío, where the climb through the Corona Forestal Natural Park begins. You’ll ride through a mix of lava fields and forest, climbing to nearly 2200 meters before enjoying the descent back down to the coast.
