Hello
I would like to know if you can join on your own by renting a bike.
And on the other hand, the tour from the port to the vegetation is a round trip and it takes more or less.
If you are interested, where can I sign up? On José's WhatsApp?
Thank you greetings Jose
Local Guide Gran Canaria says
Hello Jose! Thank you very much for your interest in bike routes with CanaryCleta!
I tell you, due to the pandemic, the usual tourist routes are not being done unless they are for a group. However, other local routes have emerged that José will be able to tell you about better via WhatsApp (we will update them here shortly). Write to him so he can tell you about them, he has already been warned.
Greetings localguide!
