The South Side of El Teide

When you're on Tenerife, at least one ride should take on the full climb—if you've got the legs for it. This route heads northeast first, following winding roads, so you can climb El Teide from Güímar. Be sure to stock up on supplies there before making your way to the top. Once you’re up, it’s a long 2000-meter descent all the way back to where you started.
