산타 마리아 데 기아 데 그란 카나리아 최고의 사이클링 경로

This section towards Aegete is closed, with plastic barriers in place to prevent access. These barriers can be moved to allow bikes through. The road is passable (feb 26) but since this section can be avoided by traffic through a new tunnel the road is no longer maintained. There is stone and rock debris and one landslide and dodgy section which is easily crossed by dismounting. Not advisable during or after heavy rain.

Looking at the photos, I already wanted to go, but the truth is, I was expecting something else. Like a more isolated area, or I don't know, remote and all that. It's nice, though. A little higher up, there's a little spot to sit on and all that. But it's dirt, so I brought a towel.

According to local gentleman, 2 kilometers of mud; not possible for now

can confirm March 2025 that the tunnel allows cyclists and even signals to drivers throughout the tunnel that cyclists are on the right!

From here you can go hiking, there is a public car park nearby. Locals offer various delicacies😊

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.

Nice views from here

A very cool contrast unfolds as we transition from drier areas to a lusher zone and we were lucky to enjoy an incredible sunset.
