Circular route through Ayagaures for beginners

31/01/2023 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria Leave a Comment

In this post we want to tell you about a bike route through Ayagaures, in the south of Gran Canaria. It is an initiation route that starts from Playa del Inglés and from there we set off to the village of Ayagaures. It is true that we know the area so it was not difficult for us to find the way.

First of all, you should know that the bike route through Ayagaures is circular and it is almost 43 kilometres long. In total it took us almost 4 hours to finish the route. Being in the south of Gran Canaria, this part of the island is very sunny and there is little breeze, even in winter. We went in the middle of March and it was still hot, as the sea is quite far away. Therefore, the experience was quite tough, although rewarding. At the end of the post we leave you the track of the route so you can do it on your own.

To do the bike route through Ayagaures you have to go in the direction of the health centre of Maspalomas and go into the ravine. First, you will leave Aqualand Maspalomas behind, then you will pass by a very special place called Montecristo and if you continue along the same path you will reach the village of Ayagaures. Here you can make your first stop and buy some water and even have a snack, as there are several bars and cafes. The rest of the way will be deserted, so try to refuel here.

Bear in mind that Gran Canaria is very mountainous and finding routes of this style in the middle of nature is complicated. In other words, the slopes tend to be much steeper.
