25 January 2027 – 29 January 2027 · Maspalomas, Gran Canaria
Seven days of road cycling in Gran Canaria, the "miniature continent", based the whole trip in Maspalomas on the south coast. You land on the 24th and we'll pick you up to settle into the hotel; from the next day on, five road stages take you through every landscape the island has to offer, with no need to change hotels along the way. Stage 1 (90 km, 1,770 m D+) climbs to Ayacata, at the foot of the Roque Nublo, up through the Mogán valley. Stage 2 is the queen stage of the week: 122 km and 2,940 m of climbing that almost touch the Pico de las Nieves, followed by a spectacular descent through the Barranco de Guayadeque. Stage 3 (120 km, 1,821 m D+) climbs to the Roque Nublo again, this time via the wilder, quieter western side, weaving through ravines and hillside villages. Stage 4 is the transition day, 115 rolling kilometres through the island's southeast, perfect for resting the legs without giving up on the scenery. And Stage 5 closes the week with the biggest challenge: 164 km and 3,230 m of climbing to the roof of Gran Canaria, the Pico de las Nieves, at 1,950 m, with a 9-hour time limit. Every stage starts and finishes in Maspalomas, so there's no need to switch hotels during the whole stay: you head out each morning at 9am, ride through ravines, pine forests, endless viewpoints and mountain villages, and return each afternoon to the same base on the coast. The 30th, the last day of the trip, is left free, to choose between a trip into Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island's capital, or heading straight home; the hotel-to-airport transfer is included, and any other activity that day can be booked separately as an extra. A long week built for road cyclists who want real demands -stages topping 3,000 m of elevation gain- combined with the comfort of sleeping in the same hotel every night, in a setting where the scenery changes completely each day: Atlantic coastline, deep ravines, volcanic peaks and whitewashed inland villages.
Hotel with room and breakfast only (6 nights), transfers airport of Gran Canaria ↔ hotel, MASQUEBICI assistance (refreshment points along the route and bike cleaning). Group experience to enjoy road cycling.

Stage 1, climbing to Ayacata, is a 90 km loop starting and finishing in Maspalomas, on Gran Canaria's south coast. The route climbs inland up the Mogán valley and past the Soria reservoir before reaching the highlands around Ayacata, at the foot of the Roque Nublo, where the stage reaches its maximum altitude of 1,320 metres. From there it descends the eastern slope through the Fataga and San Bartolomé de Tirajana area before dropping back down to the coast. With 1,770 metres of both positive and negative elevation change, this stage combines coastal scenery, deep ravines and the dramatic mountain landscape at the heart of the island. Time limit: 6 hours.

Get ready for the queen stage: 122 km and 2,940 m of climbing that will take you to the roof of Gran Canaria. From Maspalomas, the route climbs relentlessly into the heart of the island, brushing past Cruz de Tejeda and the imposing Roque Nublo, until it almost touches the sky near Pico de las Nieves, at 1,860 metres. Up there the landscape turns wild and your lungs will feel it. Then comes the reward: a thrilling descent to the east, through the spectacular Barranco de Guayadeque, before turning south to return, exhausted but proud, to the coast. A demanding stage where every metre climbed is repaid with scenery you won't forget. Time limit: 8 hours. Do you dare to conquer it?

After the toughest stages, it's time to enjoy Gran Canaria's wild west. 120 km that leave Maspalomas and hug the coast to Mogán, before climbing inland towards Roque Nublo, the island's iconic symbol, where the stage hits its highest point at 1,310 metres. With 1,821 m of climbing and 1,822 m of descending, the profile never lets up: up, down, up again. Deep ravines, cliffs and hillside villages shape a demanding yet spectacular route, before your legs find flatter ground on the way back to the coast. A stage to savour every bend and every view, knowing the sea is never far away. Time limit: 6 hours. Roque Nublo is waiting for you.

A transition stage for light legs: 115 km that take you to discover Gran Canaria's southeast without the brutal ramps of the previous days. From Maspalomas, the route winds between Agüimes, Ingenio and Santa Lucía, climbing gradually up to nearly 950 metres near Cruz Grande, through ravines, farmland and quiet villages. The rolling profile, with 1,924 m of climbing and 1,925 m of descending spread across short rises, invites you to spin freely and enjoy the scenery without suffering too much. A perfect stage to rest your legs, ride in a group and admire a lesser-known side of the island, before heading back to the south coast. Time limit: 6 hours. An easy stage, but full of charm.
