Los Gigantes to Punta de Teno Lighthouse
This route delivers big climbs and some of the best views on the island. You roll out from Los Gigantes and start the climb toward Erjos. From there, a beautiful descent drops you back to the coast. Ride on to Buenavista del Norte, then settle into a winding climb up to Mirador Altos de Baracán, continuing on to Masca and Mirador de Cherfe.
Visit to Villaflor
The ride to Vilaflor is a solid warm-up for a climb up to El Teide. We take the easier way up through Granadilla de Abona, then follow the winding, well-paved road up to Vilaflor. It’s a good spot to take a break before the descent back down to the coast.
Coastal loop to San Miguel
Starting from Los Cristianos, this route rolls along the coast all the way to El Medano before turning uphill. The main climb kicks in as you head toward Granadilla de Abona. From there, it's a long, sweeping descent back down to Los Cristianos.
Coast to Coast
Climb the winding roads up Parque Rural de Anaga twice to take in the coastal views from both sides of the mountains. If you’re looking to extend the ride, consider heading east toward La Cumbrilla.
