El Golfo
This version of the El Golfo climb starts near Volcán El Guincho along the LZ-703 and ascends steadily toward Montaña de Los Picos over approximately 3.8 kilometers, averaging a gentle 3 percent gradient. You begin with sweeping views of black volcanic formations before settling into an open, exposed road where wind often plays a role. The smooth tarmac allows you to maintain a steady effort while absorbing the stark volcanic landscape. As you near Montaña de Los Picos, the scenery becomes more rugged and dramatic, rewarding your steady climb with a unique feel of Lanzarote’s volcanic heartland.
