Where it goes
Poris de Abona → Chimiche View route on Google Maps →
What to expect
This is a dynamic, varied midland ascent along Tenerife’s southeastern slopes, climbing from the breezy coastal bay of Poris de Abona up the TF-627 to Villa de Arico, then sweeping along the legendary TF-28 to Chimiche
The character of the road is defined by its dramatic contrast between coastal terrain and historic mountain midlands. Climbing rapidly through arid volcanic landscapes of tabaibas and cardones, the route joins the historic “Carretera Vieja” (TF-28) to deliver an endless rhythm of flowing curves, deep barrancos, and traditional whitewashed villages overlooking the ocean
A highly enjoyable transition route blending a technical uphill climb with smooth, rhythmic midland sweepers. Enjoy the sunny, reliable weather of the southeastern slopes, take in the expanding Atlantic vistas, and experience the journey on a punchy, agile middleweight GS like the 2026 BMW F 800 GSMorning for a cool climb up from the coast
