Cycling in Anaga, one of the main sporting attractions of the area

According to the prestigious GEO magazine, Tenerife is the best cycling destination in Europe. This is certainly no surprise considering the climate and the diversity of landscapes and roads that you can find on the island.

The article, which you can find at this link, includes a ranking made by European Best Destinations, who have chosen the 12 best destinations in Europe for cycling. The list was compiled taking into account not only weather conditions but also the picturesque landscapes of the area. The Mountains of Anaga are, without doubt, one of the key ingredients in the island’s natural scenery.
Anaga is one of the most spectacular areas on the island of Tenerife. It is common to see hikers enjoying its many trails, but there is also no shortage of cyclists on its winding roads. These are a challenge for road cycling enthusiasts due to the steep gradient, but also a treat for all five senses.
According to the article in GEO magazine: ‘At the top of the list is the island of Tenerife in Spain. The island enjoys a good climate all year round, with breathtaking landscapes and a varied geography, with areas of high altitude. This is also the reason why Tenerife has been the favourite winter camp destination for the World Tour teams for several years.’
Here at the Montes de Anaga Hostel, we can tell you that many cyclists choose this place to enjoy themselves when they come to visit the island. We offer them a place to rest in the heart of nature and with everything they need to regain strength for the next route. Want to know more? Visit our website!
