Day 2: Costa Teguise – Haría, 20-32 mi. (33 - 51 km)
The ride today leads from Costa Teguise to the inland town of Haría. En route, you will have opportunity to visit the famous works of César Manrique, native of Lanzarote and a world renowned artist and architect. His creations, integrated in the natural landscape are notorious for their simplicity. His works are recognized unanimously by the intellectuals as well as the esthetes. As an interior architect he has accomplished a harmony of space and volume. Your itinerary includes the works El Jardín de Cactus, Los Jameos del Agua, and El Mirador del Río which form an integral part of the volcanic landscape. You will also have the opportunity to visit the volcanic cave of La Cueva de los Verdes. The route leads through typical fishing villages with the impressive Monte Corona as your backdrop. The picturesque village of Haría, surrounded by its uncountable palm trees, is your day's destination.
Day 3: Haría – San Bartolomé, 17 or 29 mi. (27 or 47 km)
From Haría, you cycle to Teguise, the one-time capital of the island, through spectacular scenery along the coast. Teguise itself is a delightful small town with typical architecture and many pleasant bars for refreshment. The route then continues to San Bartolomé and the fascinating wine-producing area of La Geria to the country hotel where you will spend the next two nights.
Day 4: San Bartolomé, round trip or rest, 31 mi. (50 km)
Today is a free day. You choose to take a break from the bike, or to enjoy a round trip ride around the town, or both! The cycling includes the beach of Famara with the spectacular backdrop of volcanic cliffs, in the Natural Park of the Chinijo Archipelago. This beach is well know by surfers from all over the globe who come to tackle this "European Hawaii". After following the coast, you will pedal across extensive lava fields and a lunar landscape back to San Bartolomé. A shorter route is possible to Fundación César Manrique or Teguise.
Day 5: San Bartolomé – Playa Blanca, 29 or 36 mi. (47 or 58 km)
First on the cycling agenda is the island’s main attraction, the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, where Lanzarote’s volcanic nature is at its most spectacular. The eruptions of 1730 – 1736 buried around a quarter of the whole island, including several villages, and gave rise to the impressive lava and volcano landscape of today. Next, heading south, you will stop en route to visit the seaside volcanic crater of El Golfo before finally reaching the seaside village of Playa Blanca.
Day 6: Playa Blanca, round trip or rest, 23 or 44 mi. (36 or 70 km)
Playa Blanca sits at the very south of the island and looks across to Fuerteventura. Today there is opportunity to take a boat across to Corralejo and enjoy a visit or a ride on another island. Alternatively, you can enjoy the day in Playa Blanca, visit the nearby coves and secluded beaches of Papagayo, or visit El Golfo for a seafood lunch by the beach.
Day 7: Playa Blanca – Arrecife , 29 mi. (46 km)
From Playa Blanca, you pedal across the dramatic hills of Femés before heading to the wine country of La Geria. Here, the unusual vineyard cultivation techniques have given rise to a fascinating landscape not to be seen anywhere else in the world, not to mention, also producing some fine wines! The route then descends to the coast and follows a nice promenade from Puerto del Carmen to Arrecife.
