✔ To take into account before taking the route
As it is long, it is important that we carry enough money or food/water to complete it. It is perfect for cyclists in good physical shape or for electric bikes, but on hot days it can get tough because of so much climbing. It is not excessively difficult, although goes through some relegations of the Gran Canaria cup. The perfect bike to do the tour would be an All Mountain with double suspension and 14cm of travel.
