Guiniguada Valley

Ride from the historical city centre of Las Palmas through gorgeous valleys and ravines

We start this MTB tour in Vegueta, the historical centre of Gran Canaria's capital city.
From here, we climb through the gorgeous Guiniguada valley.  As we ride past banana plantations, we enjoy the authentic Canarian atmosphere. The initially wide valley becomes increasingly narrow and will put our MTB skills to the test.
We enjoy a well-deserved lunch in the lovely village of Santa Brigida before heading back. On our way back, we pass through the valley again and turn into the Barranco Seco canyon, where we enjoy some flowy trails. We end the ride by visiting historical Vegueta and stopping for the best coffee in town.
The tour is mostly on dirt roads and flowy singletracks (S1, S2). The climbs are long and steady with sporadic steep sections. A very good overall fitness level, as well as moderate technical skills, are required to enjoy this route.
