Cycling in Tenerife
The combination of sun-baked flatlands and huge mountain peaks make cycling in Tenerife a real thrill. Many of the island’s best and most varied routes give you the perfect excuse to explore further, delving into local secrets, discovering long-held traditions and uncovering the authentic atmosphere as you go.
Long journeys
Tenerife’s popular southern coast has a great share of exciting resorts and top, barely-rivalled cycling routes. You could take on a five-hour long, 65km journey that begins in the centre of the island and extends all the way to the water’s edge.
Off the bike
You’ll have the option to stay in action-packed places like Playa de las Americas, with plenty to keep you busy. Costa Adeje’s slightly more sedate, featuring gourmet restaurants and classy boutiques. But either way, you won’t be far from waterparks and golf courses!
Valley routes
From Puerto de la Cruz, you can easily access routes that reach ascents at Mount Teide, Spain’s highest point. Ride into dense forests towards Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, or head to La Laguna, known as the ‘Florence of the Canary Islands’.
