In this post we share with you a Gravel bike route that passes through the municipalities of Firgas and Tejeda. As we see it, this is one of the most beautiful gravel bike routes in Gran Canaria, we’ll tell you all about it below!

Shortly after this point, we will exit on the right by a dirt track that leads to Cuevas de Caballero. Although shortly after, we will take the left direction at the next junction. Do not worry, you can download the track of the route at the end of this post. We will continue along some paths with unbeatable views until we reach Cruz de Tejeda. After the rigorous stop in one of the food stalls of Cruz de Tejeda, we start the descent back to complete this circular route. Although there are still surprises.

Hi. Is it possible to do this route? Or is the route blocked by the Heredad de agua de Arucas y Firgas? Thanks
Hi Richard! It is possible to do the route, but actually it is forbidden as it is a private way. However, the last 4 times that we were around there there was no problem and we could go through. There were more people around too. It is a pity to have this kind of prohibitions, as it is an amazing part of the island! So, as we say in the post, access is prohibited (although you can get in) and we can’t confirm you 100% that you will be able to go through. However, we think it’s worth a try! Good luck!
Hi Jorge
Is there GPX files for our Garmin that we could buy before we get to Gran Canaria for our cycling gravel holiday?
