A curve in the road that leads to Maspalomas with beautiful views of the sea. It is recommended to do this downhill road to finish the route with views of the Atlantic.

Views of Los Palmitos

Highlight • Viewpoint

This road overlooking Los Palomitos offers another section with a good surface, curves to enjoy, and calm traffic. The slope is quite manageable until just before reaching Ayuguares where it is steep.

I did the tour with a guide because I don't know Gran Canaria yet and I'm alone. So I had a safe feeling, people to talk to and someone who knew the island

Typical Gran Canaria: meters of altitude instead of kilometers 👍

A fantastic first climb through the tranquil hinterland of Maspalomas/Meloneras. No high-rises. No discos or crowds. No busy boulevards or souvenir shops. Just wonderfully smooth asphalt. Rugged nature. Beautiful hairpin bends. Tough climbs and challenging descents. Perfect for a road bike. No unpaved surfaces anywhere.

Bike tour through the beautiful valley to Ayagaures to the reservoir and back. In the village there is also a cafe for a break. The tour is always slightly uphill, but at the end you will be rewarded with a rapid descent 😉
