The Canary Islands are a paradise for cyclists seeking to escape winter and enjoy warm temperatures and long climbs.
Begin the adventure in the south of the island with two nights in the picturesque Puerto de Mogan. Climb up to the centre of the volcanic island to Pico de las Nieves – the highest point of Gran Canaria and home to spectacular 360 degree views. On a clear day it’s possible to see Mont Teide on Tenerife. From Puerto Mogan ride north via the leg-busting, breathtaking Valley of the Tears – a climb that will break the legs of the strongest cyclist (don’t worry, we’ll be on hand to support every pedal stroke and offer a ride to the top!) but rewards the effort with stunning scenery all the way up. At the top of the climb is our resting place for the night in the Parador at the Cruz de Tejedor, a rural retreat in the clouds. The following day brings respite as our route descends to the north of the island and the volcanic beach of Agaete. Choose to ride further out and back along the rugged coast road or check-in to the hotel spa & relax!
Stay in handpicked 4* hotels throughout the tour, enjoy a wide range of dining experiences selected to showcase the best cuisine on the islands and enjoy full support from the Eat Sleep Cycle team.
