Are there any restrictions on riding a MTB in Tenerife?
Yes, there are some restricted areas as far as mountain bikes are concerned. Mt Teide National park is now a World Heritage area so riding on any of the dirt tracks and trails within that zone is prohibited! If you get caught, you risk a large fine. The closest you can get to seeing the Volcanic crater on a bike is along track number 8 called «El Filo» on this hiking / walking tracks in Tenerife. Note that this particular track is located inside a «terrain of future incorporation», so it might not be possible in future…
Riding a bicycle on the narrower walking trails / singletrack is also technically prohibited, athough lots of local and foreign riders ignore this rule. (they’re called pistas de senderismo in Spanish)
