Cosa aspettarsi
This is a continuous, scenic mountain descent along the LP-301 in La Palma, dropping from the high-altitude pine forests of Refugio El Pilar down to the central LP-3 crossroad near El Paso.
The character of the road is defined by technical, rhythm-filled hairpins slicing through dense Canary Island pine trees. Departing from the heart of Cumbre Vieja Natural Park, the route frequently transitions through the famous mar de nubes (sea of clouds), breaking out into the warmer midlands with expansive views of the island’s volcanic topography before connecting directly into La Palma’s main east-west artery.
A deeply satisfying, technical descent where engine braking and smooth cornering rhythm take center stage. Enjoy breaking through the cloud line, carve effortless turns on long-travel suspension, and experience the journey on an adventure touring bike like the 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp.
