The Best Road Cycling Routes in Lanzarote

Leave Puerto del Carmen and ride through Tías, Guime, and the edge of Arrecife before reaching Costa Teguise. Head north through Guatiza and Órzola, where black lava fields meet the Atlantic. From there, climb to Mirador del Río, a steady 10 kilometers lined with volcanic stone and sweeping ocean views. There are nice coffee and snacks stops in Yé, Haría, or Máguez. Continue through the palm valley of Haría, then roll south through Teguise and Mozaga into La Geria before returning to Puerto del Carmen via La Asomada.

Start in La Santa and ride north through Soo to the cliffs of Famara, where the Atlantic meets rock and sand. Climb through Teguise and into the palm valleys of Haría, with chances to pause in Teguise, Máguez, or Haría before tackling the scenic ascent to Mirador del Río. After a short descent, pass through Yé and Órzola, then head southeast through Guatiza and inland toward the coast near Costa Teguise. From Arrecife climb through Montaña Blanca into the stone-walled vineyards of La Geria. From Yaiza, roll across the lava plains of Timanfaya, then take on the final climb near Tinajo before descending back to La Santa. With over 2,000 meters of elevation and smooth roads throughout, this full island loop delivers Lanzarote’s most dramatic landscapes in one ride.

Climb out of La Santa through Soo’s gentle hills, then pass the quiet lanes of Muñique and Tiagua on the way to Tao. Ride through Mozaga and San Bartolomé, where white houses sit among wide volcanic views. From there, head toward Costa Teguise for a well-earned coffee stop near the coast. Continue south into Arrecife, then turn inland through Guime and Montaña Blanca, where quiet roads trace the island’s rural interior. Enter the volcanic park for open views over lava fields and craters, then climb to Tinajo and descend gently back to La Santa.

Leave Playa Blanca and head north through the lava plains of La Hoya toward the steady climb into Timanfaya, surrounded by black volcanic fields. Descend to Tinajo and continue to La Santa, a good early coffee stop by the sea. Follow the coast to Famara beneath towering cliffs, then climb inland to Teguise through Soo and Teseguite. From Teguise, roll through Tahiche and San Bartolomé, both offering solid café options before entering the vineyards of La Geria. Vines grow in volcanic ash behind curved stone walls, with quiet roads leading you through Uga and Las Breñas before the final drop back into Playa Blanca.

Ride into Arrecife and follow quiet inland roads through Tahiche and Nazaret to reach Teguise, where shaded plazas and bakeries invite a morning stop. The climb into Haría winds through the Valley of a Thousand Palms, with gentle gradients and volcanic peaks all around. Keep north toward Mirador del Río for a smooth ascent and panoramic views over La Graciosa. From there, descend to Órzola, then follow the coastline south past turquoise bays and black lava. Continue past Caletón Blanco and Jameos del Agua, returning through Mala, Guatiza, and El Mojón.
