One-day motorcycle itineraries designed by a rider, for riders

Most motorcycle tourists miss Gran Canaria's best roads. They follow generic GPS routes that take them on highways or poorly maintained back roads, arriving at viewpoints at the wrong time of day.

These itineraries are different. Each one has been personally ridden, tested, and refined over dozens of trips. I've cataloged every road condition, timed every segment, and positioned every stop to maximize your riding pleasure.

The Must Buy itineraries cover the island's main attractions in focused day rides — perfect if you only have only one day. The other itineraries explore deeper, revealing hidden gems suited for longer trips. For multi-day adventures, check out our journeys.
