Where it goes
Mirador de los Roques → Puerto de San Sebastián View route on Google Maps →
What to expect
This is a continuous, spectacular high-altitude descent on La Gomera along the GM-2, dropping from the towering volcanic plugs of Monumento Natural de Los Roques all the way down to the sun-drenched ferry port of San Sebastián de La Gomera
The character of the road is defined by its sweeping, rhythmic curves and dramatic environmental transition. Starting beneath the shadow of the iconic 1,251-meter Roque de Agando, the route follows the island’s eastern ridge. As you lose altitude, the damp laurisilva and pine forests give way to arid coastal landscapes, offering unobstructed vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Teide on neighboring Tenerife
A deeply satisfying 22-kilometer descent on wide, smooth tarmac. Rely on steady engine braking through the flowing sweepers, enjoy the golden afternoon light over the water, and experience the journey on a balanced, versatile tourer like the 2025 BMW F 900 GS
