The triple crown is one of the most technical routes that we can do with an MTB in the northern area of Gran Canaria. It runs through three descents in which they have been disputed Canary Islands championships and even a Spanish enduro championship and descent. Below, we give you all the data and information necessary so that you can do the route on your own.
