MTB Route in the northwest of Fuerteventura

Cycle routes in Corralejo

The unique arid landscape of Fuerteventura is discovered bit by bit on this circular route which starts in the northwest and includes cycle routes signed with information panels explaining the uniqueness of the surrounds. From the village of Lajares, the starting point, you bike through volcanoes until you get to Corralejo, the biggest tourist town on the island and the best place to contemplate the Tostón lighthouse. Then, it is westward and after taking the road to Majanicho, there’s an endless line of wonderful beaches and coves while advancing towards El Cotillo.

Cycle round Tindaya Mountain

Before going towards the “sacred” mountain of Tindaya, the next goal on this 79 kilometre route, it is best to recover strength in order to be able to cycle through beautiful places which lead once again to the coast, to the beach at Janubio, in Puerto del Rosario. Then retake the road and cycle round Tindaya again, although on this occasion on the eastside. Instead of tracks, you take the road to pass through the municipality of La Oliva and the pretty town of Villaverde which takes you back to the starting point at Lajares.
