Fataga Village

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful town that looks like an oasis in the middle of the ravine. There are several bars in the town where you can take a break.

A beautiful viewpoint with views of the valley and the Monte de las Vacas. Nearby there is a restaurant where you can buy refreshments and food. The highway goes down to Maspalomas and goes up to San Bartolomé.

Alto de Fataga

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From Alto de Fataga you can descend south through the valley or to San Bartolomé de Tirajana. If you manage to reach this height, you will be 930 meters above the sea.

This height is surrounded by a dense pine forest and is crossed by the GC-60 highway.

Church of San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Highlight • Religious Site

On the way to the Pico de las Nieves is here in San Bartholomä at about 1000 meters altitude in about half time. How about a little break in this rather original piece of Gran Canaria? The Iglesia de Sant Bartolome and its church forecourt invite you to take a break.

On the way downhill you almost fall into a curve rush...really a great section of asphalt

View of the Guriete Canyon from the GC-65 Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This stretch of road that goes down from Santa Lucía de Tirajana to Guriete is a spectacle both for the asphalt and the curves and for the impressive views of the imposing Guriente Canyon.

Be careful when descending as the road is not very wide and there is not much space left when meeting cars.

View of the road to Santa Lucía

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Top asphalt and wonderful ups and downs through the breathtaking landscape of Gran Canaria. Recommendation: Definitely integrate into a tour to Agüimes and Santa Lucia.

March 2, 2026,Santa Lucia - Fataga + GC-550
Wow, the last ride already! These four weeks have flown by. Originally, I wanted to do 110km as my last ride with 2,200m of altitude gain, but the 3-4 days of sandstorms threw a wrench in the works halfway through. But that's okay. I cycled my planned 500km and achieved my desired 10,000m of elevation gain. So the penultimate ride …

Yes, that was the final tour of the training camp.
At the beginning it was about 1000 HM up to San Bartalome. After a short descent, the first coffee stop took place in St. Lucia.
After a very risky descent to Äigumes due to the wind, we decided to shorten the tour and drive back along the coast.
The wind …

One valley more beautiful than the other!
One climb steeper than the next!
One serpentine is more beautiful than the next!
One caffe con leche is tastier than the next!


Simply a great route that I can really recommend!

Once again my greatest respect 👍 to all cyclists 🚴 ♂️ who met and spoke today! You mastered the climbs without …

In the beginning the whole thing is really easy to pedal. I wouldn't take the turnoff to Santa Luzia again. With some coarse gravel and a gradient of up to 22%, that was it for me 🤮. Great landscape.

Today is probably THE standard lap that you do from Maspalomas if you want to take it fairly easy.
First you roll nicely along the sea and then steadily climb uphill on fabulous asphalt. In San Bartolomé we had a cappuccino and a vegetable soup (yes, you read that right. Soups and stews are great for me as a snack. …

Always nice the round Fataga Santa Lucia, in the south of Gran Canaria. Today we had a headwind on the way back in the last section. That doesn't happen often and has been a bit depressing for the cut.

Today, we're going on the short loop up to San Bartholomé. After the coastal tour, this is actually the loop with the fewest elevation gain on offer 😅. We were itching to continue on to Ayacarta, but we'll save that for later.

A scenic road cycling classic in the south of Gran Canaria, from Maspalomas via Fataga to Tunte and back via Santa Lucia. I've ridden this route so many times, but it's always a highlight for me. Today, there was a strong headwind/southern wind on the last 20 flat kilometers along the coast. According to Garmin, the climb was 1,440 meters. …
