From Tenerife’s southern villages to Vilaflor

With its historic centre at around 1,400 m, Vilaflor is the highest municipality in the Canary Islands and one of the highest in Spain. Vilaflor combines a sustained climb with the scenery of southern Tenerife. The usual route passes through hillside villages before gaining height towards Vilaflor, then descends back towards the coast. This tour is scheduled for Tuesdays.

The route description places the start in La Camella, following the transfer to the departure point. It passes through the Valle San Lorenzo, La Centinela and San Miguel area before reaching Granadilla de Abona. Use this opening section to settle into a rhythm and save energy for the main climb.

From Granadilla, the ascent towards Vilaflor calls for a steady pace and comfortable gearing. The usual return takes you through the La Escalona and Arona area. Stay focused on the long descent and follow your guide’s instructions.

The approximate distance is 65 km, in line with the available GPX. The route information gives 1,550 m of ascent and around 4 hours as a guide. Check the profile, prepare your equipment and confirm the meeting point or collection arrangements for your date.
