Lanzarote

Costa Teguise – Arrecife

spanien, spain, lanzarote, vulkan, vulcano, costa teguise, arrecife

Land of the Volcanoes

A unique ride through some of the most dramatic landscapes to be found in Europe. These islands are of volcanic origin. Lanzarote suffered a series of eruptions in the 18th century and as a result has some fascinating volcano and lava scenery. The architectural works of César Manrique form a valuable complement to the volcanic environment and are a must. The benign climate, neither hot in summer nor cold in winter, means that cycling is possible all year round.

Dates 2024:

Arrival: daily
Duration: 8 days

Dates: Jan 09.-Dec 16.

1st Day: Costa Teguise

Individual arrival , transfer from Arrecife Airport to the hotel. The rest of the day is free to enjoy the beach resort of Costa Teguise.

2nd Day: Costa Teguise – Haría, approx. 33-51 km

Pick up and fit bikes after breakfast and off you go! Visit César Manrique’s famous and unique architectural works such as El Jardín de Cactus, Los Jameos del Agua, El Mirador del Río which form an integral part of the landscape. We also have the opportunity to visit the volcanic cave of La Cueva de los Verdes. We take in fishing villages without losing sight of the impressive Monte Coronavolcano. Finally, we arrive in the picturesque village of Haría surrounded by its uncountable palm trees.

3rd Day: Haría – Teguise, approx. 33-52 km

From Haría, we take the road down towards Teguise, the one-time capital of the island. Our route gives us spectacular views down over the coast. Teguise itself is a delightful small town with typical architecture and many pleasant bars for refreshment. From here we continue towards San Bartolomé and the fascinating wine-producing area of La Geria to our hotel where we spend the next two nights in or near Teguise.

4th Day: Roundride from Teguise, approx. 50 km

Today is a free day spent in or near Teguise. We can choose to relax, or enjoy a round ride, or even both. Our round ride takes us towards the beautiful beach of Famara with the spectacular backdrop of volcanic cliffs. After following the coast, we head across extensive lava fields and a lunar landscape back to Teguise.

5th Day: Teguise – Playa Blanca, approx. 50 km

We head towards the island’s main attraction, the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. This is where Lanzarote’s volcanic nature is at its most spectacular. The eruptions of 1730 – 1736 buried a quarter of the whole island, including several villages, and gave rise to the impressive lava and volcano landscape that we see today. Then to the south of the island, stopping en route to visit the seaside volcanic crater of El Golfo before we finally reach Playa Blanca.

6th Day: Roundride from Playa Blanca, approx. 36-70 km

Playa Blanca sits at the very south of the island and looks across to Fuerteventura. Today we can take a boat across to Corralejo and enjoy a visit or a ride on another island. Alternatively, we can enjoy a day in Playa Blanca and take the opportunity to visit the nearby coves and beaches of Papagayo, the best on the island and unspoilt by tourism. Another option is to visit El Golfo for a seafood lunch by the beach.

7th Day: Playa Blanca – Arrecife, approx. 50 km

From Playa Blanca, we head to the wine country of La Geria. Here, the unusual vineyard cultivation techniques have given rise to a fascinating landscape not to be seen anywhere else in the world, and producing some fine wines. We then descend to the coast and follow a nice promenade from Puerto del Carmen to Arrecife with its charming inland harbour of El Charco.

8th Day: Arrecife

The tour ends after breakfast with a short transfer from Arrecife to Lanzarote Airport.
