Co můžete očekávat
This is a steep, highly technical cliffside ascent in northwestern Tenerife along the TF-42 and TF-421, climbing from the coastal plains of Los Silos directly up the sheer mountain slopes to the elevated town of El Tanque
The character of the road is defined by its dramatic vertical climb, tight hairpins, and expanding coastal vistas. Departing the humid banana plantations of the Isla Baja, the route turns onto the narrow TF-421 to negotiate a relentless series of steep switchbacks carved into the mountain walls, revealing bird’s-eye views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Roque de Garachico
A thrilling, low-traffic mountain pass that demands sharp throttle control and accurate gear selection through tight, first-gear switchbacks. Enjoy the rapid drop in temperature as you gain altitude, take in the breathtaking panoramic views, and experience the journey on a tall, well-balanced adventure tourer like the 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp

Zajímavosti
- Los Silos gets its name from the ancient grain silos built to store wheat produced in the very mountains you are about to climb
- The TF-421 is incredibly steep, with some sections reaching gradients that will test your clutch control and low-speed balance
- As you climb higher, you gain a perfectly clear view of the Roque de Garachico, a massive volcanic rock formation sitting just offshore
- El Tanque sits at around 500 meters above sea level, providing a completely different, much cooler microclimate than the coast below
- The 21-inch front wheel of the Honda Transalp smoothly absorbs the rougher patches of rural tarmac frequently found on this vertical mountain pass
