The climb to the Hoya de la Vieja from Tejeda is relatively short (9 kilometers) and nowhere really hard. The steepest five hundred meter segment (9%) is the final one. The ride takes place on a quiet road with almost perfect asphalt (as of 2022). So one can enjoy cycling here, also because the landscape with its steep mountains is impressive. During most of the ride the landmark of the Roque Bentayga (1415 m) is visible.
