ピランコネスのおすすめツーリングルート

Ascent to the Roque Nublo Plateau Roque Nublo is one of Gran Canaria's most significant natural monuments. A giant that rises to an altitude of approximately 1,800 meters in the center of the island, within a natural landscape protected by a biosphere reserve. This impressive rock monolith—a symbol of Gran Canaria—rises 80 meters from the plateau and offers a uniquely expansive panoramic view; only a few mountains on the island can match it. On clear days, the neighboring volcano, the famous Teide, is clearly visible.

About 600 meters up. It's worth it

I've cycled there many times. It's simply stunning up there with a fantastic view.

Unfortunately, you're not allowed to take a bike on the trail to Roque Nublo. But the view is great.

Highlights in the highest village on the island

This upaved part of the GC-604 makes it perfect for some gravel fun

The landmark of the town, which has around 1,000 inhabitants, is the parish church of San Matías. In the older part of the town there are numerous inhabited caves. In the cave chapel of the "Virgin of the Small Cave" there is a statue that, according to tradition, was brought here by Majorcan missionaries in the 14th century. The figure of the Virgin Mary is the patron saint of the island's veterans and cyclists. Her feast day is at the end of August.
