Lanzarote Villas - Great For Cycling

For cycling lovers believe me or not, Lanzarote Villas is a dream come true!
USP’s of Lanzarote Villas

Here worlds top professional cyclists and triathletes come to the island in the winter months for warm weather training and they offers year-round training in the perfect climate and some of the toughest climbs and routes you will find.

You will find temperature very conductive as the range with which it varies is from a daytime maximum of 20 to 23C, so no need for those 3 or 4 layers, gloves and hats and normally roads are no that busy!

Apart from weather being favorable, toughness of the terrain is another factor to bag on! As there are more than 300 volcanoes on the island, this results in varied type of cycling run as opposed to a more general up and then down route.

Timanfaya is the main volcano and cycling there is always a pleasure as the wind is nearly always in the north, climbing north to south is nearly always easier. Often quite strong Trade Winds from the north, make some days in the saddle a 2 hour cycle out and a half hour back! Winds are generally a bit lighter in the winter though.

Mirador del Rio offers the toughest ride which being further north and also you can have a beautiful view from the top to the island of La Graciosa!

If you move further south, you find more plain terrain like Playa Blanca has which has constant northerly wind, this makes a perfect base for your cycling holiday as you can plan nice routes into the wind to start, some climbs in the middle around Timanfaya and Tinajo, and then a lovely wind-assisted run back home.

If you plain for long duration cycling then carry on after Tinajo into the village of La Santa where there is a training camp for people from all sports, on to the beautiful beach and cliffs at Famara, inland to Teguise, and back down to the south through the lava fields around La Geria and Yaiza. As don’t just forget the sunscreen!

There are ample of staying facilities in Playa Blanca like having a own private villa with a pool, close to the beaches and resort centreand make sure you choose the best one as your family need something rather special to keep them happy once you away on your quest of cycling!
