Description

It's one of my favourite roads, somewhat without real reasons. A fairly useless road that lets you avoid a boring stretch of the GC-2 highway from Las Palmas to Galdar, but precisely for this reason I'm satisfied every time I take it because I avoid the highway with a beautiful alternative. The road is short but very beautiful, winding, with asphalt in excellent condition. It offers a panoramic point over the entire north coast of Gran Canaria and one of the most important prehistoric sites of the island, Cernobio Valeron, which alone is worth the itinerary if you're interested. As a road, on its own it's probably not worth the trip, but if you're driving the highway and can afford to be 15/20 minutes late, it's a mandatory choice for any self-respecting motorcyclist.
