It can get really cold here. Often the rain clouds hang in here. Luckily the road has been repaired. Before that it was a very bumpy affair (see photo)

February 27, 2025,LA PALMA!!! 🌴🌋
It's the last day of our trip. Today we're going to treat ourselves to something special. We're taking you to the island of La Palma: La Isla Bonita.

Like all Canary Islands, La Palma is of volcanic origin. It's the youngest island in the archipelago and both the greenest and the steepest. We're avoiding the really tough climbs in the …

One of my favorite training laps on La Palma. First it goes up the El Pilar climb from the west, then follows the descent towards Santa Cruz. In Mazo we head back towards the south of the island.

Unfortunately, this tour is currently no longer possible. The volcanic eruption in 2021 completely destroyed the road from Los Canarios to Los …

September 10, 2022,UCI Volcano Gran Fondo 2022
The UCI Volcano Gran Fondo on La Palma was one of my highlights of the season, precisely because of the special connection to the island. The race ran over 128km and 3050hm and started directly at the sea, in Los Cancajos on the east side of the Canary Island. Around 300 participants from 14 nations started at the Gran Fondo, …

December 1, 2024,La Palma: Südrunde
My terrible ROSE discounter plastic RR last moved 3 months ago... but it would have liked it here - there are completely new views and a few hills too.

To be precise, today we went 2-3 km at most from 107 km on flat ground.

September 3, 2021,El Pilar und Fuencaliente
This round is similar to my favorite round on La Palma, except that you also take the tip down to Fuencaliente. Please don't underestimate that. At the latest when driving down you think "oh wow, I have to go up everything again" but the great views of the Atlantic make this very bearable ;)
