East Coast by bike on the old road: Fasnia, Arico and Granadilla

CYCLING

The old southern road, the TF-28, was for decades the main road in southern Tenerife. Today, with the traffic on the motorway, it is a cyclist's paradise: bends, ravines and traditional villages through the eastern hillsides.

The route

We ride through the eastern hillsides around Fasnia, Arico and Granadilla. The road climbs and descends constantly, crossing ravines, with small tunnels and sea views. About 75 km without big climbs, but with constant elevation changes.

Level and who it suits

Intermediate level. It is more long than hard: ideal for adding kilometres and enjoying a quiet, different road.

Tips

  • Pace yourself: the ups and downs add up.
  • Carry enough food; there are long stretches between villages.
  • Watch out for blind bends in the ravines.
