Guiniguada Valley

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

This is the more technical version of the Guiniguada Valley tour, designed for riders with good technical skills. We start in Vegueta, the historical center of Gran Canaria's capital city. From here, we climb through the gorgeous Guiniguada valley.  As we ride past banana plantations, we enjoy the typical 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 stop for the best coffee in town.
The tour goes mostly on dirt roads and flowy singletracks (S2, S3). The climbs are long and steady with sporadic steep sections. A very good overall fitness level and very good technical skills are required to enjoy this route.
