Climb Description

The climb to Ayaguares is short and gentle from both sides and makes for a nice, easy circular ride from Maspalomas.

This route follows the GC-503 road, passing through the village of Montaña la Data and Monte León, before arriving at the viewpoint (mirador) which marks the top of the climb. This is probably the more scenic side of the climb, with open rocky views throughout much of the ascent.

Like all climbs in Gran Canaria, Ayagaures is open throughout the year.
