Overview

Cycling uphill around the world. The Canary Islands belong to Spain, and are a popular cycling destination for North Europeans. Gran Canaria perhaps has the greater number of different rides. The rides are long loops with a fair amount of rolling riding along the GC-500 between coastal towns. The best rides are in the south part of the island, and Free Motion has stores in Playa del Inglés, Arguineguín, Puerto de Mogán, Meloneras, San Agustín, and Las Palmas.
