Ayagaures Valley + Tapas - E-Bike excursion on Gran Canaria

Explore timeless Canarian villages and unwind with tapas in a cave restaurant.

This e-bike tour is ideal for leisure riders looking to explore some of the island’s interior at an easy pace, featuring one winding descent that requires basic bike handling skills, in terms of braking and cornering.
It offers a ride through quiet mountain villages, views over the Ayagaures Valley, a stop at the Meloneras lighthouse, and a traditional tapas lunch in a cave restaurant.

The route:
We begin this guided e-bike tour at the Free Motion Bikecenter in Playa del Inglés. Before the ride, we conduct a safety briefing with all participants, explain how the electric bikes work, hand over the bikes and make adjustments as needed, and then we roll!

We initially head south to visit the famous sand dunes of Maspalomas. We then make our way across to the beautiful Meloneras Beach Promenade, where we make a short stop to look at the Faro de Meloneras lighthouse, and then we follow the coastline for around 2.5km to Playa de Meloneras. Then it’s time to see the mountains!

We make our way towards the beginning of the Ayagaures Valley and follow the valley all the way up to the La Cuevita restaurant, where we enjoy a light local Canarian tapas lunch.

After our lunch stop, we continue up to the picturesque village of Ayagaures and look at the two water dams just outside the village centre. We then start the main climb of the day, making fairly light work of the challenging climb with our e-bikes, all the way up to the stunning viewpoint at Mirador de Pedro Gonzáles, 490 meters above sea level. We make a short stop here to take in the magnificent views and snap a few photos.

Then it’s time to commence our journey back to the Free Motion shop at Playa del Inglés. On the way, we pass through the small villages of Monte León and Montaña La Data, with their stunning hillside villas. Once back at the Free Motion shop, we enjoy a well-earned post-ride drink before we say our thanks & goodbyes, and hopefully 'until next time'.
