Soria - Road bike excursion on Gran Canaria

Cycle a route that has it all.
From rolling coastal roads and gentle valley flats to the iconic Soria climb with stunning cliff views.

This guided road tour is made for riders who enjoy a steady challenge with a scenic reward: varied terrain, quiet roads and a fast, flowing return. We ease into the day with a gentle warm-up, settle into a smooth rhythm through quiet valleys, and push ourselves on a climb that feels challenging but is truly rewarding.

Tour route:
We start with rolling terrain along the coast, soaking in the morning light and ocean views. Then we head inland through a peaceful valley lined with mango farms. The road here begins as a gentle false flat, easy to pace and with plenty of time to settle in. Just past Las Filipinas, we take a left and the real climb begins.

It’s a steady effort with challenging gradients, but always manageable and well-paced by your guides. Along the way, we pass the mountain village of Barranquillo de Andrés and enjoy views over the Soria valley. We stop in Soria for a proper fuel break with local treats alongside the usual cyclist staples.

Then comes the thrilling descent down the very climb we just completed. It’s fast, smooth, and packed with flow. The route home brings a long, false-flat downhill, followed by rolling terrain where ocean views return.

Highlights:

• Ride all terrains: coastal rollers, false flats, short kicks, and steady climbs
