Ayagaures Dam

It is worth making a detour to see this dam surrounded by a beautiful landscape. The climb to get there has good asphalt and generally has calm traffic.

This road overlooking Los Palomitos offers another section with a good surface, curves to enjoy, and calm traffic. The slope is quite manageable until just before reaching Ayuguares where it is steep.

My first little test tour on Gran Canaria. First time on a carbon racing bike. A beautiful tour to one of the many dams with a decent climb. Makes you want more!

For a person who drives on flat roads every day, these roads are crazy. Especially on the descent, the views were beautiful, but it was impossible to take photos.

After 3 days of illness I had already done half the climb yesterday. Went fine. But the asphalt is in such bad shape up there!

Almost skip smooth asphalt, only the first 2km below the top is rough asphalt with big cracks and cement remains and a lot of sand: there is a lot of work going on there on some new houses next to the road. Furthermore very warm again because almost cloudless today, so …
