Cycling In Lanzarote

Once you have flown into Lanzarote Arrecife Airport and arrived at your holiday destination you might decide to spend some of your holiday exploring this beautiful island in a leisurely fashion by hiring a bicycle.

The lack of high peaks on Lanzarote makes it quite easy to explore the island on a bicycle and the regional government have set up the Plan de Rutas Cicloturísticas detailing a series of routes and trails to enabling cyclists to enjoy touring the island.

If you are a keen cyclists and want to give yourself the challenge, there is a recently completed 205km cycle track which is divided into six sections and aimed at mountain bikers (given the terrain).

The longest and most demanding section is 46km in length and stretches between the whitewashed village of Arrieta, around the northern tip of the island to Ye which is a sleepy village slightly inland. Most of the route sticks close to the coast, turning inland to negotiate the Timanfaya National Park.

Because the sometimes demanding terrain and year-round warm climate provide perfect practice and training

conditions for amateurs and professionals you will regularly see many international athletes training on Lanzarote's challenging hills with The Ironman and Tres Islas events attracting the more serious cyclists.

There are cycle routes on Lanzarote for cyclists of all abilities ranging from flat runs from the edge of Papagayo with its beautiful beaches to Faro Park in the west, to a more strenuous climb up to the mountains of Femes. You will also find plenty of cycle paths in Playa Blanca town

If you are out for the day on the bike, head towards Timanfaya National Park on the LZ 67 and over Fire Mountain where the scenery is spectacular. Drop down the other side towards Mancha Blanca and Tintajo and head down towards La Santa or head back down the LZ20 to San Bartolome.
