The Canary Islands are just a two-hour flight from mainland Spain. These islands are essentially volcanic peaks rising above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The Canary Islands are blessed with a beautiful climate, with almost constant sunshine and temperatures ranging between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.
We often read enthusiastic reviews about cycling on the Canary Islands, particularly from those who enjoy mountain biking and challenging climbs on a road bike. The islands with the best cycling opportunities are Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote. Lanzarote is flatter than the other islands, making it also suitable for recreational cyclists. On all the islands, the roads are generally excellent, though some mountain roads are less well-paved.
Mountain biking on the Canary Islands offers a unique experience due to the distinctive landscape and unusual terrain, but it’s still relatively undiscovered by Dutch and Belgian cyclists.
