Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, has long attracted cyclists with its perpetual sunshine and varied terrain. It offers ideal conditions for year-round riding, making it a popular destination for both professionals and amateurs. Among the many challenges the island poses, one of the most iconic is climbing the majestic Teide volcano. This impressive mountain, the highest peak in Spain, attracts cyclists from all over Europe to tackle its slopes. I will, of course, devote a separate post to it. However, on this epic route, about halfway to the summit, lies the charming town of Vilaflor. Situated at around 1,424 metres above sea level, Vilaflor is not only the highest town in Spain, but also a natural and extremely welcoming stopover for cyclists on their way to Teide. Where does this charming name come from? According to legend, the name Vilaflor comes from the cry of a Spanish conquistador who, upon seeing a beautiful Guanche woman, exclaimed: " ¡Vi la flor de Chasna! " (I have seen the flower of Chasna!). Previously, Vilaflor was known as Chasna, which was the capital of the vast Abona region. The modern name Vilaflor means "Village of Flowers" in Spanish. Road to Vilaflor A cycling adventure in Tenerif e most often begins on the southern coast of the island, in popular resorts such as el Medano or Los Cristianos . The first kilometers lead inland, gradually moving away from the blue ocean. The landscape is initially diverse - you can admire vast vineyards picturesquely climbing the slopes of the hills. With each meter up, the Canary pines characteristic of Tenerife begin to dominate the surroundings, creating pleasant shade and introducing a mountain climate.    The climb to Vilaflor is gradual but relentless. There is no hiding the fact that if you are not in good enough shape, the climb will not be a pleasure. The incline is very demanding from the start, and every pedal turn requires effort. The average gradient is 5.5-6.1%, but the highest elevations, depending on the route, are 11% or even 20.5%.* However, the satisfaction of the meters of altitude covered and the vast panoramas that begin to reveal themselves compensate for the hardships of the climb. *If you want to experience this elevation gain, here’s where you’ll find this segment: Los Cristianos → Vilaflor (TF-51) (21.1 km, 1,277 m elevation gain), the 20.5% jump occurs on the third bend (~9 km climb), just after passing through the small village of La Escalona and starting the final sections to Vilaflor. This is a very short section — only about 100 m long — but it’s the steepest on the entire route. It’s very common to meet other cyclists also heading in the same direction, which creates a sense of community and motivation. Unless you go in the afternoon, by then the cyclists are usually already heading downhill. If cycling in Tenerife is new to you, read my post below. There are many different routes and types of towers to choose from. Today I will suggest options for getting to Vilaflor by road bike. This is the most popular type of bike chosen for conquering these climbs. I recommend choosing a road bike with a good range of gears to make it easier to conquer the steep climbs. 🚴🏻 Routes from the south to Vilaflor 1.

Disc brakes are recommended, as they are more suitable for long descents. Equipment : Always wear a helmet! (This is mandatory on the islands). Bring sunglasses. It is a good idea to have front and rear lights. Hydration and nutrition : Make sure you have enough water and energy snacks before starting the ascent. Food options are limited in the higher elevations of the island, and there are no food options or shops from the ascent from Chío to Vilaflor. Weather and clothing : Weather conditions can change quickly at higher altitudes. I recommend taking appropriate clothing to protect against wind and cold. Even if it is warm on the coast, temperatures can drop significantly higher in the mountains. It is worth bringing layers of clothing, including a windbreaker, a vest and, depending on the season, a warmer sweatshirt. Don't forget your UV cream - the sun is very intense at this altitude. Suggestions for rest areas : at every major intermediate point (town, mirador, café) you will find basic supplies: water, snacks, toilets. When planning your route, it is worth checking the opening hours of local bars in advance. Route planning: before setting off, plan it carefully, taking into account rest areas and possible service points. Inform someone about your planned route and estimated return time. Ride responsibly : obey road traffic regulations, respect nature (don't throw away paper, don't litter), other cyclists and drivers. Take on challenges, but listen to your body! A bike trip to Vilaflor is not only a beautiful adventure, but also a demanding challenge - almost extreme. Steep climbs, significant elevation gain, long descents and changing weather conditions can significantly affect the comfort of the ride and your fitness. It is a completely different effort than riding on flat terrain, even if you cover a greater number of kilometers. When planning a route to this picturesque town, take all these factors into account and adjust the pace to your abilities. IMPORTANT In Tenerife, the following are mandatory: 🚲 wearing a helmet 🚲 having bicycle lights 🚲 respecting traffic regulations It is forbidden to: 🚲 wearing headphones 🚲 using a mobile phone Driving culture and road safety Tenerife is a popular destination for cyclists, both amateur and professional. Drivers on the island are generally polite and accustomed to cyclists on the roads. They keep a safe distance when overtaking and are aware of the specifics of cycling in mountainous terrain. However, cycling infrastructure in Tenerife is limited. Cycle paths are rare (non-existent on mountain routes) and cyclists often share the road with other vehicles. As a result, it is important to exercise caution, especially on busier sections of road. ⚠️ Potential hazards and precautions Although cycling in Tenerife is generally safe, there are some risks to be aware of: Traffic : in the south of the island, especially around popular resorts, traffic can be heavy. It is advisable to avoid riding during rush hour. Weather conditions: in the higher parts of the island, such as around Vilaflor, the weather can be changeable. There can be strong winds (around El Medano), sudden changes in temperature and fog that reduce visibility. Road conditions : some roads can be in poor condition, with holes and loose gravel. It is advisable to be careful, especially when going downhill. Photo fun fact: The road leading to Vilaflor offers not only picturesque views, but also excellent places for photo sessions. While we focus mainly on riding during our rides, it was on this route that MAKYO did a photoshoot for our cycling clothing brand TROFEO. The results of this session can be seen here and elsewhere on our blog. Although we no longer manufacture clothing, we still ride with passion in our kits, enjoying cycling in Tenerife. If you feel like it, we invite you to visit our Instagram profile. Vilaflor – yes, you are in the right place! I always welcome the entrance to Vilaflor with relief and satisfaction. The town, situated at the highest point, exudes a peaceful atmosphere. You can immediately see that Vilaflor is a place friendly to cyclists. You can often see bicycles parked in front of local cafés and restaurants, and the atmosphere inside is full of understanding for the needs of cyclists. Cafes in Vilaflor are aware of the specifics of cycling and adapt their service to guests arriving on two wheels. The premises offer a convenient place to leave bikes and a quick service of drinks, which is crucial after a demanding climb. Almost every local café allows you to refill your bottles with free water, and the staff is sensitive to the need for quick service for tired cyclists. In the center of the town there are at least three catering points with plenty of seating and clean toilets, which significantly increases the comfort of cycling breaks, especially if you are riding in a large group. Vilaflor is one of the best places for a short coffee break during a full-day road trip in Tenerife. Thanks to this, whether you are an amateur or a professional, you can be sure that after the difficult kilometers that accumulate, you will find efficient service, access to the necessary facilities and a moment of regeneration before continuing your ride. Below I am posting you 2 popular places friendly to cyclists, but on the map you will find many pubs where you can relax after a long climb. If you have the strength, you can ride up to see the Plaza de San Pedro and the Church of San Pedro or Pino Gordo and Pino de las Dos Pernadas, the oldest trees, which are a must-see for nature lovers visiting the southern part of Tenerife. PLACE INFO LINK Restaurante Teide Flor Full restaurant menu (salads, meat dishes, homemade desserts) in a rustic-modern room and on a terrace with a view of the mountains; designated area and bike racks; quick filling of water bottles; possibility of ordering "takeaway" for cyclists continuing their route.

Google Maps Plaza de San Pedro i Kościół San Pedro If you want to see something along the way, you can drive up to the 18th-century Baroque parish church. Three centuries-old cypresses at the entrance (“Cipreses”). Google Maps Pino Gordo This is an impressive specimen of the Canary Island Pine (Pinus canariensis), one of the most characteristic natural landmarks in Vilaflor. The tree reaches a height of about 45 meters and a trunk circumference at chest height of 9.36 meters, making it one of the thickest trees in Spain. It is estimated to be between 700 and 800 years old, which makes it one of the oldest trees on the island, along with the famous Drago Milenario of Icod de los Vinos. Google Maps Pino de las Dos Pernadas On the other side of the road stands the tallest native tree in Spain, reaching a height of 56 metres. Google Maps If you can't ride your bike Of course, you can use a car or public transport, because Vilaflor and its surroundings are also worth exploring on foot. In addition to the atmospheric, historic town, you can visit the gallery Mar de Nubes | Instagram and stock up not only on local wines and delicacies, but also on art by local artists. The area around Vilaflor also offers many trekking trails. For those who want to visit the town or its surroundings, I will create a separate post. The bike tour from Vilaflor towards the majestic Teide is an unforgettable journey that combines a physical challenge with the extraordinary beauty of Tenerife's landscapes. From the hospitality of Spain's highest town to the raw beauty of the volcanic terrain, this route offers experiences that will stay in the memory of every cyclist for a long time. I encourage you to try your hand at this iconic route. Share your experiences, impressions and advice for other two-wheeler enthusiasts in the comments!

I will start a series of cycling posts for all lovers of two wheels, both more and less advanced, with this, in my opinion, important post. Of course, on the Internet you will find individual texts about the most popular cycling routes, places worth visiting, etc. and they are certainly valuable, especially for more advanced bike users. What about those less advanced bike lovers and those beginners? What about people who would like to ride a bike in Tenerife for recreation? Can a bike be treated as a means of transport in Tenerife? I will try to answer these and other questions briefly. So that you know what level of "expert" I am, I will outline my general cycling fitness: I am generally a very active person, I cannot imagine life without exercise. In Poland, I rode very often in the flat Mazovia. Both on the road, on a gravel bike in the field, and I used the bike as a means of transport, from spring to autumn. When I came to Tenerife, it turned out that the constant riding uphill (because it is always uphill here), combined with my past illness, which affects the current state of my respiratory capacity, forced me to verify my fitness and choose the right bike for my abilities. I started with a gravel bike, which I rode on the road and a little off-road, and eventually ended up with an electric MTB and an electric road! And that was a game changer! Of course, it took me some time to mentally accept the fact that I can't do it on a "regular" bike ;), but the local atmosphere of ease, taking care of myself and the joy of riding won over overly ambitious plans, which were clearly impossible to achieve. So much for me. Back to the topic... So, is cycling around Tenerife a big challenge and is it for all lovers of two wheels? Of course, it depends - on the chosen route and the type of bike you decide on. Depending on your level of fitness, there are various cycling options - from traditional bikes to modern electric machines that make it easier to spend an active holiday on the island. My different cycling stages on Tenerife Bike Options – traditional or Electric? As you can probably guess, if you are a beginner cyclist or are planning a recreational trip, a traditional bike can be quite a challenge, especially on the steep climbs of Tenerife. Therefore, for people who want to take advantage of exploring Tenerife by bike, I recommend considering renting an electric bike. Electric support makes it easier to cover long distances and steep routes, so you can focus on admiring the picturesque landscapes without getting too tired. In rental companies (which I will write about soon) you will find various types of electric bikes, from city bikes to typical sports bikes. For advanced cyclists, a traditional bike offers unforgettable emotions related to overcoming demanding mountain and road routes. Many experienced cyclists appreciate the possibility of choosing their own routes, challenges and derive satisfaction from overcoming the local elevation gains (5-6% is the norm, there are often 9-10% climbs, and in some places, the elevation gains reach 15-30% - the greatest are in the north of the island). So what options do you have if you want to explore Tenerife by bike? Trekking bike or electric trekking bike For those planning long trips on various surfaces with a focus on sightseeing, but who are in good physical condition, a traditional trekking bike can be an excellent choice. It is ideal for covering distances in mountainous terrain while maintaining a suitable position for sightseeing. However, if you are not afraid of such challenges, an electric-assisted trekking bike becomes an irreplaceable assistant. With the support of the engine, you can cover long routes and steep hills, while having the freedom to explore Tenerife without excessive fatigue. Road and gravel bikes Tenerife is a mecca for road cycling enthusiasts. Practically at any time of the year, in most places on the island, you will meet a cyclist, entire groups, even professional cycling teams. Road bikes offer the possibility of achieving better cadences, dynamically covering distances and, above all, overcoming elevations and achieving your own cycling goals. Gravel bikes, on the other hand, are perfect for more varied terrain (there is no shortage of gravel, especially in the south), where both comfort and efficiency count . A gravel bike is universal, you can use it for road riding, and when you feel like going down a forest or gravel road. It is also great for cycling trips with panniers. Tenerife by bike is a great place for bikepacking, it offers many areas to explore and has a great place to camp. The presence of an electric drive in these models allows you to extend routes and achieve better results, allowing you to enjoy riding in more difficult conditions, such as overcoming the challenge of the iconic Teide climb. This is a great alternative for all those who dream of riding a bike to the highest peak in Spain, but are not sure if they will be able to cover this route on a regular bike. You can take an additional battery with an electric bike, which will make it easier to overcome the elevation gain (approx. 2,200 m above sea level). When going on bike trips, take into account the need to charge the battery and look for camping spots that have access to electricity. Mountain bike (MTB) and downhill bike (DH) Tenerife offers many areas for both mountain biking and downhill biking. You will find both mountain, marked routes ( check the markings of these routes ),as well as wild, challenging terrain in the higher and lower parts of the island. This type of cycling is also very popular here. A mountain bike with electric assistance is a solution for those looking for extreme sensations during descents and ascents in difficult, mountainous terrain. A bike with a centrally located engine provides stability and precise control, which is crucial on demanding routes. Thanks to advanced suspension and lightweight frames made of carbon or aluminum, such bikes allow for safe riding even on rocky, uneven trails. I rode an electric MTB in the south of the island and I am not a fan, but I know that every fan of both mountain bikes and downhill will enjoy riding. A regular bike, of course, requires more strength in the legs and better physical fitness, but you will also meet many fans of bikes without assistance here. City bikes In Tenerife’s urban-tourist landscape, electric city bikes are becoming increasingly popular. While the island is not ideal for daily use as a primary means of transport, it is worth considering this option if you are planning to stay in the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife or for example in Puerto de la Cruz , to explore nearby attractions freely and without any problems. It's a great alternative to a car, allowing you to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Tenerife while caring for the environment. Tenerife by bike – culture and safety of riding In Tenerife, the culture of cycling and driving is based on mutual respect – drivers are aware of cyclists and adjust their speed, which contributes to increased road safety. Even on the most heavily used roads, drivers drive slowly, waiting to safely and legally overtake cyclists or groups. As a driver, you can see how aware cyclists in safe places give a hand signal that you can safely pass them. When you hear a horn - don't worry, no one " honked " you. Such a signal means that the driver " thanks " you (and/or greets you). The island has introduced specially marked " Ruta Cyclista " roads, dedicated to cyclists, which allows for free and safe riding, eliminating conflicts between different road users. The campaign aims to remind people about road traffic regulations. Thanks to these solutions, both cyclists and drivers can enjoy a more orderly and friendly road environment. It is worth remembering that dangerous situations on the roads also occur in Tenerife - after all, the whole world comes here. Fortunately, these situations are not common, and as a road user, you should be present, aware and take into account the rights of both parties. MPORTANT In Tenerife, the following are mandatory: 🚲 wearing a helmet 🚲 having bicycle lights 🚲 respecting traffic regulations It is forbidden to: 🚲 wearing headphones 🚲 using a mobile phone Cycling in Tenerife is a great way to actively explore the island. Whether you choose a traditional bike or an electric bike, each option has its own unique advantages. For beginners, an electric bike can be the perfect solution, allowing you to enjoy the trails without too much effort. Advanced cyclists will appreciate the challenge of demanding mountain trails. By choosing the right route and equipment, you can fully enjoy the charms of Tenerife, discovering beautiful landscapes and an authentic Canarian atmosphere.

Tajinaste Rojo (Echium wildpretii) is one of the most unusual plants in the Canary Islands archipelago. This endemic species occurs exclusively on Tenerife and has become its unofficial botanical symbol . It is distinguished by its intensely red, panicle-shaped inflorescences, reaching up to 2 meters in height. This plant blooms only once in its life – usually from May to June – and then dies, leaving seeds for future generations. Tajinaste Rojo is a biennial plant. In the first year, it develops as a dense rosette of long, narrow, blue-grey leaves covered with delicate hairs. Only in the second year does it sprout an impressive inflorescence shoot, which can reach up to 2 metres in height. It consists of thousands of tiny red flowers, rich in nectar and pollen – a real feast for bees and other pollinators. After flowering, the plant dies, leaving behind seeds for the next generation. Where can you see Tajinaste Rojo? The largest number of Tajinaste Rojo can be found in the Teide National Park, especially in the areas of Llano de Ucanca, Roques de García and Minas de San José . In spring, the landscape of the volcanic valley turns into a red wave of flowers against the background of black rocks and the snow cap of the volcano. It is an absolutely unique view and one of the most beautiful natural spectacles in Tenerife. Tajinaste can also be found in the town of Vilaflor – one of the highest towns on the island, the La Fortaleza region, and also in some highlands of the southern part of the island. The plant also grows at altitudes above 1600 m above sea level, most often on dry, rocky slopes. Importance for the island's ecosystem and culture Tajinaste rojo is not only an aesthetic symbol. It is also an important element of the local ecosystem – it attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies and birds. Bees play a key role in the reproduction of the plant – the flowers die after blooming, and thanks to pollination they can produce seeds. The nectar of this plant produces a creamy, delicate honey of high quality, covered by the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP). Tajinaste is also often used in campaigns promoting environmental protection on the island and is under partial species protection. When is the best time to admire the blooming tajinaste? The blooming season is in late spring. The best time to visit is in May, when the fields of red flowers create breathtaking views . At this time, the weather is mostly stable and tourist traffic has not yet reached its summer peak. However, it is worth paying attention to the weather conditions in a given year – as a result of climate change, spring is sometimes colder, which delays the start of vegetation. In addition, tajinaste blooms at different times depending on the altitude: the higher, the later the flowers appear. If you want to see this wonder of nature in exceptional conditions, plan a morning trip – early morning sunlight beautifully highlights the contrast between the red plant and the black volcanic ground. Regardless of the time of day, remember not to get too close to it and not to pick the flowers – it is a protected plant. How to prepare for a trip? When going to Teide Park, it is worth taking care of appropriate clothing (it can be cold at high altitudes) and hiking shoes. Don't forget sun protection and water. It is also a good idea to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and admire the flowers in the soft light. All the information on how to prepare for visiting Teide itself can be found in this post: Climbing Teide - new rules. How to prepare to conquer the highest peak in Spain? Entry to Teide National Park is currently free, but changes are planned – I will keep you updated. Interesting facts and other varieties of Tajinaste The name "tajinaste" comes from the Guanche language and means "needle", referring to the slender, pointed shape of the inflorescence (it reminds me of a dwarf's hat :)). The species was named after Hermann Wildpret, a Swiss-German botanist who directed the Acclimatisation Garden of La Orotava in the 19th century and contributed significantly to the documentation of the flora of the Canary Islands. Echium wildpretii is just one of several varieties of plants known as "tajinaste". There are about 15 species and subspecies endemic to the Canary Islands: Echium wildpretii subsp. trichosiphon – a pink variety from La Palma, Echium simplex – tajinaste blanco, a white variant from Tenerife, growing on the steep slopes of Anaga, Echium callithyrsum – a blue-flowered species endemic to Gran Canaria, Echium webbii – a shrubby form from La Palma, resembling a candlestick. Tajinaste Rojo is a true wonder of nature and one of the most emblematic natural phenomena of Tenerife. Its appearance in the landscape heralds the arrival of spring and is a celebration for nature lovers, photographers and all those looking for authentic experiences away from commercial attractions. Don't miss the opportunity to see this endemic wealth with your own eyes!
