A 57 km road ride along Tenerife’s southwest coast that finishes beneath the towering Los Gigantes cliffs. Expect steady climbs, coastal wind, and sweeping views of La Gomera.
The ride begins where ocean wind collides with basalt: Playa de las Américas loosens into coastal road, and the cliffs of Los Gigantes rise on the horizon like a dark wall. Cyclists push through seaside villages—Playa de San Juan, Alcalá—each turn widening views of La Gomera and the Atlantic that dares you to keep the pace.

The ride begins where ocean wind collides with basalt: Playa de las Américas loosens into coastal road, and the cliffs of Los Gigantes rise on the horizon like a dark wall. Cyclists push through seaside villages—Playa de San Juan, Alcalá—each turn widening views of La Gomera and the Atlantic that dares you to keep the pace.
Geology here is blunt and ancient. The cliffs are remnants of the Teno massif, stripped by lava flows and later sculpted by sea and time into 500–600m escarpments. Culturally, the southwest coast is still threaded with fishing communities and terraced vineyards; you pass small harbors and lunch bars that remember the island’s maritime rhythms.
The route: 57 km with roughly 950 m of climbing and a technical ascent to Tamaimo (10 km at up to 7%), followed by a fast descent through Chío and Guía de Isora. Riders should expect open sunny exposures, short steep pitches, and some narrow coastal road sections.
Practical guidance: bring layered, sun-resistant kit and a filled bottle—guides supply water and a gel but the climbs demand steady fueling. Ride a road bike with compact gearing; be ready for sustained efforts and confident group descents. Morning departures sidestep stronger afternoon winds and allow clearer views of La Gomera. Hotel pickup is commonly included, and guides provide helmets and pedals, but check shoe and frame fit before you roll.
This is a coastal road ride that balances big scenery with demanding climbs—ideal for experienced road cyclists who want concentrated elevation and ocean views in a single, efficient loop.
