4/05/2023 Why practicing road cycling in Lanzarote is a great idea
Lanzarote is one of the world's main paradises for practicing road cycling , both for professionals, cycling fans and inexperienced beginners. There are several reasons for this, and we will tell you about them right away.
 

Lanzarote, the best climate for road bikes 

Let's start with the climate, because it is one of the main reasons for choosing this island. The mild climate allows winters to be mild in Lanzarote , with average temperatures between 15 and 22°.
 
Throughout the year, many professional teams choose to go training to stay in shape all year round.
 

Lanzarote - The most diverse landscapes 

Lanzarote is, and without fear of being wrong, one of the most beautiful places in Spain and Europe. The landscape that unfolds when road cycling is powerful: the views of the steep cliffs, the spectacle of its paths between volcanoes, or its paradisiacal beaches.
 
Few tourist areas in Spain offer such a complete and interesting recreational offer to their visitors as those offered by the island of Lanzarote . A highly recommended place to go on vacation not only for its landscapes and beaches but also for the extraordinary conditions for cycling .
 

“…Touring Lanzarote is like being on Mars, only without a diving suit. Surfaces of black stone and little vegetation, mountains that are or were ancient volcanoes, beaches with crystal clear waters and white sand, cacti everywhere…”

 
The landscapes of Lanzarote are as imposing as they are peculiar . We owe part of that charm to the Timanfaya National Park , it is the only national park in the Spanish network of an eminently geological nature, the Timanfaya National Park was the result of volcanic eruptions that occurred between 1720 and 1736, and in 1824.
 
Lanzarote cactus garden. We are facing an impressive botanical garden dedicated to cacti , with an area of about 5000 square meters , it was inaugurated in the 90s and is located to the east of the island of Lanzarote , specifically in the small town of Guatiza , shortly before arriving to the Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes .
 
The Los Volcanes Natural Park offers a breathtaking landscape that has been the result of the last major volcanic eruption that the island suffered.
 
It is a volcanic landscape with strange and interesting formations arising from the solidification of lava. The vegetation in this area is very scarce, and is only present in the oldest areas with lava solidification, where nearly a thousand different species of lichen can be found.
 

Lanzarote - The best infrastructure for road cycling 

That's right, and it is considered a bike friendly ​Not in vain has it hosted numerous professional teams that go to train in winter. Choosing Lanzarote for cycling has made both public and private institutions work together to continuously improve cycling routes and paths.
 
There are extensive routes on the island, with an average of 66 km, and it has a large network of roads and secondary roads that are perfectly signposted and maintained, in addition to offering specialized care for cycling tourism .
 
Thus, in Lanzarote there are a large number of hotels, special routes, accommodation for cyclists, workshops and of course our local shop is where we rent the best road bicycles , which cover all the needs of this type of tourism.
 

“…Cycling in Lanzarote is one of the greatest pleasures you can give yourself…”
