Enduro route through El Toscón

In this post we talk to you about a route with an enduro bike through El Toscón in the municipality of Las Palmas from Gran Canaria. This route could be considered a double circular route. Below, we give you all the details and even the track so you can do this route on your own.

Enduro route through El Toscón

The starting point for all the routes in this area is usually the San Lorenzo parking lot near the clinic. There is a parking area here and a store to buy water or energy bars if necessary.

Route characteristics

To do this route, you have to take some local roads, interspersed by short paths between houses until you reach Country City. Once we have overcome the climb we will abandon the asphalt to finally begin the paths through the old cookie factory towards the picnic areas of San José del Álamo.

Up to here the entire trail is mostly flat with some climbs. The fun hasn't started yet. But as always, good things take a long time to come. We continue going up with our bikes between the grill and barbecue area, passing through the San José del Álamo neighborhood. At this point there is a little more road until you finally reach the El Toscón neighborhood. Later we will not enter a dirt road to crown the area and prepare to begin the first descent of the day with our Enduro through El Toscón.

The decline is moderate difficulty if you have experience with enduro bikes. Maybe with XC bikes you would have to have a medium-high level to go down here. After the first round of enjoyment, we will link the next descent with a small climb through an area frequented by enduro motorcycles. Here we will start another Dh that even has some quite fun cuts and areas with some prepared cambers.

The route continues with a good dirt climb that ends on the main road of San José del Álamo, again. That is why we said at the beginning that it is a double circular. We would have already finished the first of the two circulars.

We pass the picnic areas again to head to the mythical descent of El Román. Quite technical and rocky. But a delight for MTB enduro bikes. This ends very close to where we left, the town of San Lorenzo. Here we will regain our strength in the famous little store in town.
