Gravel Bike route through Gáldar, Sardina del Norte and Agaete

02/08/2020 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria

In this post we want to share with you a route on Gravel Bike through Gáldar, Sardina del Norte and Agaete, in the north of Gran Canaria.

Gravel Bike route through Gáldar, Sardina del Norte and Agaete

We started the route in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital of the island. But the most interesting area begins in Gáldar. So if you wanted to go by car to this northern town, you would just skip the highway and the road that goes from Bañaderos. Which passes through the emblematic Cenobio de Valerón. An aboriginal “construction” very well preserved and of tourist interest.

You have to keep in mind that there is a loop in the track before arriving Gáldar that has no exit. It has beautiful views towards Las Palmas de GC, but if you don’t have time enough, skip it and go directly to Gáldar.

Once there, we will enter through a stone ravine that ends at sea. And from that point we are going through different points of interest: Caleta de Abajo, Sardina Lighthouse, Sardina del Norte and some smaller ones.

In Sardina del Norte you can buy some water and food, since there is a small supermarket. You will need it, since after this we will enter more inhospitable trails. Without going through any town until you reach Agaete. We go through two “complicated” descents for a Gravel Bike or mountain bike. And after them, we will have to carry our bikes to get out of two ravines. The end of the route brings us closer to Puerto de Las Nieves, in Agaete. Just passing through the natural pools Las Salinas, very beautiful.

If you do not know places to eat in Agaete, we recommend a light meal at the Mesón del bocadillo to return to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Normally the return route is usually windy, so if you have time, we recommend you return by a secondary road (as we did) it can save you some effort, even if it takes longer.
