Overview
The Canary Islands are a very special and unique destination, unknown to most of the world, and definitely a great winter cycling destination. Even though they belong to Spain, they sit in a subtropical climate located off the coast of northern Africa. The island’s volcanic beauty, surprising landscapes, and fascinating gastronomy and lifestyle will surprise and delight you.
VOLCANO ADVENTURE
This journey is designed to experience three of the most stunning islands, with very distinct features. You will see the volcanoes of the Timanfaya National Park, charming whitewashed towns, spectacular lookouts, incredible meandering roads, thrilling gravel sections, and the top of very high mountains.
An adventure for those looking for the uncommon. Discover a different side of Spain, with a taste of the most delicious fish the Atlantic Ocean has to offer.
The route
Three islands, three widely different sceneries
LANZAROTE
We start in Lanzarote, riding by spectacular volcanoes and charming white-washed villages on quiet roads and exciting switchbacks. We dive deep into the fascinating wineries thriving in extreme conditions and taste the unique volcanic wines.
FUERTEVENTURA
The next stop is Fuerteventura, one of the lesser-known islands. With the trade winds on our backs, we cross the island from north to south, exploring the impressive white dunes and some of its more remote and spectacular corners. Take some time to relax on the dreamy beaches or brave the gravel roads to the very edges of the island.
GRAN CANARIA
On our last island, we conquer high-altitude volcanoes. The orography changes drastically from the previous islands, as we ride through lush tropical landscapes, an amazing and wild coastline, and beautiful banana plantations on our way to the highest point of the island. We celebrate our wins with a grand dinner at the lively capital of Las Palmas.
