Difficulty
Right from the start, this climb heads straight up to the Teide Observatory (954 TEN), with about 2000 meters of elevation—so come prepared. Once you reach the observatory, take a moment to soak in the views. If you need to refuel, you’ll need to ride a bit further to El Portillo. Otherwise, turn back and enjoy the long descent. The last 15 kilometers run parallel to the coastline, leading you back to where you started.
