Tamada Natural Park Loop

This route starts in Agaete and follows the dramatic west coast before turning inland toward one of Gran Canaria’s most legendary climbs.

After a rolling start through cliffs and terraced valleys, the road pitches up hard from La Aldea into the Valle de las Lágrimas. The gradients build quickly as the route winds past sheer rock walls and quiet fincas. You catch sharp views into ravines and dry riverbeds as the climb unfolds.

Higher up, the road passes a chain of dams and reservoirs that add to the sense of scale. From this high plateau, the views open wide toward Roque Bentayga, standing alone in the island’s volcanic heart. From here, the route curves gently back north and returns you to Agaete.
