We wanted to call this enduro route the Talayón Cross. Its main claim is that it goes through one of the longest hard-driving descents on the island of Gran Canaria. It is a circular route that also goes down two variants of trails mythical from the summit. Perfect for eBikes or fit endurance riders!

The route begins in the town of Teror, around the area of his soccer field. It begins by going up the road, taking some detours along the way towards tracks or trails. After the ascent, reach the Cross of Tejeda, a place where we recommend you fill up on water and eat something at one of their stalls. Then the route continues climbing to begin the first descent. Eye! It has some possible variants, which (if they are downhill), end in the same place, so you can choose the one you like the most.
Then cross a road to continue with the unknown descent of the Recorcho, fun and fast. Once finished, go back up to start one of the longest descents in Gran Canaria. The record is about 20 minutes without stopping, but the normal thing is to take about 30 and even 40 minutes. The final part was even part of one of the Spanish enduro Championships. It's a joy. Enjoy it!
