Puerto de Mogán
Puerto de Mogán
The second largest island in the Canary Islands group is largely made up of rugged cliffs. The small town of Puerto de Mogán - which literally means 'Port of Mogán' - contrasts beautifully with the rugged mountains, with its white houses and blue details. The chalky white walls, in turn, compliment the many flowers that give the picturesque fishing village its distinctive look. The colourful scene gives the harbour town an idyllic atmosphere. After an intensive bike ride through the mountains, Puerto de Mogán is the ideal place to enjoy the sun on a terrace with a home-made sangria.

Barranco de Guayadeque
In the middle of the island is the breathtaking valley Barranco de Guayadeque. Known for its rich diversity of native flora and fauna, this magnificent natural monument is a paradise for nature lovers. Plants and animals feel at home in this green oasis, where among others palms, cactuses, agaves and almond trees grow. You can enjoy all the beauty that this nature reserve has to offer on a bicycle. A long dead end road winds into the valley and ends at a small restaurant on top of a rock in the middle of the valley. The terrace offers a beautiful view of the impressive valley.

The best starting point to see Barranco de Guayadeque is the village of Aguimes. From there, just follow the GC-103 and you will enter the green canyon towards the restaurant. The route is not very long, so to and from Aguimes you can determine the rest of your route yourself. The GC-120/GC-130 towards Pico de las Nieves is highly recommended!

The dunes of Maspalomas
The dunes of Maspalomas
The Maspalomas dunes are a special place on the island. The golden sand glitters at you from miles away. Standing in the middle of the dunes, you imagine yourself to be in the desert for a moment. At night, the sky turns purple-pink as the sun disappears behind the dunes. A beautiful place to challenge yourself as a runner or to take a nice walk. The extensive sandy beach where the dunes end is also perfect for an evening run.
