A Cyclist's Life in Tenerife (Canary Islands)

I used a lot of GoogleEarth and Google map and Anaga region looked like riders amusment park! How long it takes to get the hot spots from the hotel?

Anaga is the best region on Tenerife for cycling, that’s for sure. It has the smoothest roads, and the least amount of traffic on the island. Magnificent views on top of that. Its still a secret. It’ll take up to 40 minutes by car. Best to start from Las Mercedes… the other fantastic rides go up to Las Cañadas / Mount Teide, where its best to start from either La Orotava or Aguamansa. Around Masca is also the other great zone.

I’m told that the google Earth map for Tenerife has just been updated. Its only a few weeks old now. At the beginning of the year [2007] the map was ~4 years old.
