This scenic loop flows from shimmering coastal stretches to quiet mountain roads. The early kilometers roll gently along the sea, then tilt skyward as you make your way through sun-drenched switchbacks and sleepy hillsides lined with banana groves.
As the elevation builds, the air cools and the landscape changes. Villages like Guía de Isora and Arguayo offer glimpses of local charm between the climbs. The final descent from Santiago del Teide unwinds smoothly toward the ocean, offering stunning valley views all the way back down.
