TF-28 Fasnia to Güímar
Where it goes
Fasnia → Güímar View route on Google Maps →
What to expect
This is a rhythmic, ravine-hopping journey along Tenerife’s famous “Carretera Vieja” (TF-28), sweeping from the peaceful agricultural village of Fasnia past El Escobonal to the vibrant historic valley of Güímar
The character of the road is defined by its rollercoaster profile as it dips in and out of ancient volcanic ravines (barrancos). Bypassing the coastal highway, the TF-28 follows the natural, winding contours of the eastern slopes, passing white pumice landscapes, sun-baked terraces, and offering broad vistas over the Atlantic Ocean and the Güímar valley
A deeply engaging midland ride where left-to-right transitions flow seamlessly one after another. Soak in the authentic rural heart of the island, enjoy the warm eastern sunshine, and experience the journey on an effortless, high-torque tourer like the 2025 BMW R 1300 GS
