Co můžete očekávat
This is a dramatic western ascent on La Gomera along the GM-1, climbing straight out of the green basin of Vallehermoso through the high cloud forests of Epina and finishing at the cliffside Mirador Ermita del Santo in Arure
The character of the road is defined by its continuous elevation gain and rich cultural folklore. Tracing the rugged western ridges, the route offers views back toward the iconic Roque Cano before crossing near the famous Chorros de Epina springs. The ride transitions rapidly from terraced agricultural valleys into misty laurisilva fringes, ending at a small chapel perched over the sheer vertical drop of the Taguluche valley
A deeply engaging uphill ride with rewarding torque demands through tight hairpins. Watch for rolling mists and damp tarmac near Epina, soak in the golden hour light over the Atlantic at the finish, and experience the journey on a punchy dual-sport like the 2025 BMW F 900 GS
