March 26, 2024,Gran Can: Zum Kaffee Trinken nach Ayacarta

Very nice, especially the climb from Mogan over the serpentines. To do this we had to go from Puerto Rico to Puerto de Mogan for 7.50 p.p. take the ferry. I'll ignore the upper section after the serpentines to Ayacata with the worst moguls in the rain. In the Ayacata café we dried our clothes, ate hot soup and drank …

January 14, 2023,Rennradtour: Mogán, Ayacata, San Bartolomé, Playa del Inglés, Puerto Rico (Gran Canaria)

Last bike tour on Gran Canaria. Quite challenging at over 2,000 meters in altitude. Beautiful scenic tour. I would have liked to drive up the "Valley of Tears". Conditionally I would have believed it. The only thing that kept me from doing it was the remoteness of going up there alone. There is a movie on YouTube.

From Arguineguín to Playa del Inglés annoying, hard headwind. Before Fataga, of all things, on the best road surface, a flat tire. A young racing cyclist from Augsburg helps me. The tire is really tough and it's difficult to get to grips with. More and more racing cyclists are discovering Gran Canaria for training. Unlike in the past, most of …

While the party-loving local islander slept off the frenzy of the carnival 🎊, we took the express train speed along the coast in hot temperatures towards Puerto de Mogan to complete the beautiful Serenety Climb. We were reinforced by Carmen, who we met by chance in the hotel and who also wanted to complete the route.

This tour has it all: almost 2,000 meters in altitude. My racing bike is excellent. With the disc brakes, the descents can be tackled more easily. Improbably impressive in terms of landscape.
