About Gran Canaria Best Roads

The author on scenic Gran Canaria costal road

I created this platform because I could not find what I needed when I arrived in Gran Canaria — a proper motorcyclist's guide written by someone who actually rides these roads. Not a generic tourism site. A real guide, built from real experience on two wheels.

Every road here has been ridden personally — most of them dozens of times, in different seasons. My itineraries are rider-optimized sequences that consider asphalt quality, elevation, traffic patterns, and the best viewpoints. Each route alternates roughly one hour of riding with a 30-minute break — because the point is to experience every kilometer, not rush through it.

Gran Canaria packs over 1,000 km of paved roads into an island you can cross in an hour. From the coastal cliffs to volcanic passes reaching more than 1,900 meters, the terrain shifts from pine forests to desert canyons in minutes. With 300+ days of sunshine, there is no off-season — just year-round riding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What motorcycle do I need?

Any motorcycle works. The roads are paved and well-maintained. Adventure bikes, sport-journeyers, and naked bikes are all popular choices on the island. Scooters work for shorter routes too.

When is the best time to ride?

Year-round. Gran Canaria has 300+ days of sunshine with temperatures between 18-28°C. Winter (December-February) is actually peak season for European riders escaping the cold back home.

How do I use the GPX files?

Load them onto any GPS device or smartphone app — OsmAnd, Calimoto, and Google Maps all support GPX import. The PDF guide that comes with each purchase explains every stop in detail.

Can I combine multiple itineraries?

Yes, that is exactly what the multi-day journeys are — carefully combined itineraries without overlap. Or contact me for a custom combination tailored to your available days and preferences.

Do you offer group rates?

Yes, for both custom itineraries and guided rides. Get in touch with your group size and dates and I will put together a tailored offer.
