The best Cycling Routes in Tenerife
These routes include the best roads, climbs and coffeestops in Tenerife
Teide XL from la Laguna
Leaving from La Laguna puts you on the climb right from the start. After around 40 kilometers, you’ll reach El Portillo, with only a short stretch of climbing left near the top of El Teide. From there, descend through Vilaflor and ride about 80 kilometers parallel to the coast on scenic, winding roads.
Bailadero - Anaga Mountains
This route serves up spectacular views all the way up the Anaga Mountains and at the top. Along the way, you’ll hit two stunning viewpoints: Bailadero and Pico del Inglés. You can start this ride from either Santa Cruz or La Laguna.
Los Gigantes to Punta de Teno Lighthouse
This route brings big climbs and some of the best views of the island. Roll out from Los Gigantes and climb up to Erjos. From there, a beautiful descent to the coast is waiting. Ride toward Buenavista del Norte, and if you’re feeling strong, keep going to the Punta de Teno Lighthouse at the island’s western tip. From the coast, a winding climb takes you up to Mirador Altos de Baracán, then on to Masca and Mirador de Cherfe.
Coastal loop to San Miguel
Starting from Los Cristianos, this route rolls along the coast all the way to El Medano before turning uphill. The main climb kicks in as you head toward Granadilla de Abona. From there, it's a long, sweeping descent back down to Los Cristianos.
Visit to Villaflor
The ride to Vilaflor is a solid warm-up for a climb up to El Teide. We take the easier way up through Granadilla de Abona, then follow the winding, well-paved road up to Vilaflor. It’s a good spot to take a break before the descent back down to the coast.
