Road cycling

In the northeast of Tenerife lies one of the island's green gems, the Anaga Rural Park. It's one of the oldest ecosystems on the planet: the laurel forest, a humid subtropical forest with an enormous amount of foliage that traps the humidity of the Atlantic and creates a fairytale landscape.

The route isn't too demanding, with just over 53 kilometers covering just shy of 1,400 meters of elevation gain. Furthermore, since it's a circular route, you can start from your preferred point. This time, we suggest starting from a public parking lot in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, but you could also start from Santa Cruz; both cities are worth a visit to enjoy their respective historic centers. You could even go the other way.

Along the winding roads through vegetation tunnels that lead you to Anaga, you'll find typical farmhouses and some traditional eateries, ideal for sampling the local cuisine and having a snack. The route includes a detour to Pico del Inglés, from where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the island.

As if that weren't enough, the itinerary includes the famous Las Teresitas beach. It offers an ideal opportunity for a relaxing swim in the sea.

Anaga Rural Park

Highlight • Forest

Going around Anaga is like entering another world. The landscapes are wild and the forests dense and humid. In the morning/evening it can get quite cool due to the wind and humidity.

Historic Center of San Cristóbal de La Laguna

Highlight • Historical Site

San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a beautiful city, with a picturesque and colorful pedestrian-only historic center. It is the second most populated city in Tenerife and the third in the entire Canary Islands.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, it was considered the cultural center of the Canary Islands, home to the first university ever founded in the archipelago. Don't miss the spectacular dragon trees in the central squares.

If you need a bike shop, there's one downtown.

December 27, 2023,Tag3_X-Mas Vuelta Teneriffe: Rundtour Anaga-Gebirge

The Anaga Mountains are a MUST if you are cycling in Tenerife. The alternative route to the main road has little traffic and is nice to drive. The ridge road above is a dream 😍
But honestly: the section through the city is terrible. Traffic lights, smelly cars and the air is stagnant.
I started from Tegueste. My tip: I …

I'm cold. Really cold. My left thigh is throbbing, and I hope I can still make it to our destination without a cramp. I check my Wahoo for the third time in a row and estimate our approximate arrival time...

April 13, 2022,Kleine Runde ins Anagagebirge im Norden ab Santa Cruz

A nice little round in the north-east of Tenerife high in the Anaga Mountains.
Alas, the passover wind was hellish. It blew me over several times, especially on the driveway. I haven't experienced anything like that. So yeah, it's not called the Windy Mountain for nothing. On the rest of the tour, however, the gusts came well.
The north is …

If the tour starts with 18% ramps, you are inclined to drop the spoon straight away. After a short break for reflection, you instead continue to crank diligently, which takes you through the clouds hanging in the mountain to the crest of the Anaga Mountains. You will be rewarded by magnificent views to the north and south and a fast, …
