The meteorological autumn has already begun. Although the weather is still good, we should slowly start preparing for months of rain and cold. And what's better than skipping a week of winter? The Gran Canaria Bike Week (December 1-8, 2024) is exactly what you're looking for. A whole week of soaking up vitamin D on Gran Canaria. And the best news: we have tickets with a substantial discount!

We know from experience: in winter, there’s no better cycling destination than Gran Canaria. How cool is it to spend eight days cycling on this sunny island at the beginning of December? You start with the Gran Fondo Pico de las Nieves. This is a semi-cyclo with several timed sections. The next day is a rest day that you can spend as you wish. You'll need it, because six more days of cycling await you. The elevation gain of these rides is serious: from 730 to a whopping 2930 meters. Check out the routes here.
