Gran Canaria, biking paradise
It is well known that Gran Canaria is the perfect place to escape to in the winter with its 128 beaches and 24ºC average temperature all year round.
But very few people are aware of the central mountainous area, providing mountain biking paradise. Gran Canaria is a miniature continent with a privileged eco-system. It has 32 natural protected areas, 8 nature reserves and around 100 native plant species. In Gran Canaria you can witness the evolving flora – the island is as important for scientists in terms of botany as the Galapagos Islands is for zoology.
Due to its morphology, the island is mountainous with abrupt and spectacular landscapes. Both the mountain and road routes here are characterised by the almost complete absence of plains and the constant presence of stones due to its volcanic origin.
