Road routes

1. Roll at the foot of the La Corona volcano

Discover a route of contrasts that begins in Arrieta’s coastal town, in the northeast of Lanzarote, and ends on the beach of Caleta Famara. A journey of 103 kilometers, which ‘touches’ the foot of the enigmatic volcano of La Corona, and reaches the seaside enclave of Órzola.

From this point on, the coast is left in search of unique interior landscapes, such as Malpaís de La Corona, in Haría, with the most challenging slopes!

2. Enjoy the end route in Caleta de Famara

Experience a magical place of contrasts with your bike, which unleashes the volcanic black sand terrain where the grape that produces the famous island wines grows. La Geria is enjoyed at the stroke of a pedal until contemplating the towns of Uga and Yaiza, which head northwest, towards the Timanfaya National Park.

Here you roll between lava fields and craters, in the middle of a superb landscape, to continue to the La Santa facilities and tackle the end of the route in Caleta de Famara, with its wild and unique beach.

3. Ironman on the island of volcanoes

Without a doubt, you cannot miss this great event; ideal for sports lovers: their Ironman. A 180-kilometer route starting and ending in Puerto del Carmen, located in the south of the island. The bike route alone already means undertaking a demanding day of 2,130 meters of unevenness!
