But Gran Canaria can offer a lot except cycling ! Sandy beaches, bars, restaurants, you will discover Gran Canaria’s wonders, especially in Maspalomas where you will stay during the camp. We chose Maspalomas for its location in the south of the island, where the weather is always hot and sunny all year long due to its closeness from Africa and Western Sahara Desert !

Cold months of western and northern Europe are the bests in order to enjoy a week full of sun !
