Cycling route from northern to central Gran Canaria

This circular bike route which penetrates the very core of Gran Canaria starts on the north coast of the island, in Bañaderos, where you can leave your car in order to make the descent to banana groves, orchards and hamlets which give way to Los Tilos ravine. The winding roads lead to the town of Fontanales, the centenary pine trees in Galdar and then on to the viewpoint at La Cruz de Tejeda, an ideal spot to have a rest before taking on the central loop which leads to the emblematic Roque Nublo.
