Quite a classic tourist cycle route this circular way along the southwest of Gran Canaria starts and finishes on the golden coast of this round island. The charming harbour of Mogán composes the first 30 kilometres, a cycle on flat terrain which snakes along the coast, among marinas and wonderful beaches before getting to Maspalomas.

Touring The Meridian Island by bike is a pedal power adventure which begins in its capital, Valverde, located in the northeast. Once you are in the farming village of San Andrés, take the HI-4 road to the junction which leads to La Hoya del Morcillo and the intact landscape of El Julan, one of the places which makes El Hierro so special. It is a slope covered with pine trees where only the hermitage of the Virgen de los Reyes (Blessed Virgin of King of Kings) and the lighthouse at Orchilla remind us the place is inhabited.
