Cycling the Canary Islands 2012
In October and November we have been cycling a few weeks in Tenerife & La Gomera. Because the weather was pretty bad we have been able to make less cycling days than intended. The altimeters have compensated this lack a bit. The Anaga Mountains and the corner with Masca we though it was the most beautiful part of Tenerife. La Gomera we have not seen a lot but because of the mist and remnants of bushfires but the circle along the Parque Nacional de Garajonay was very nice.
The different climbs to the Teide are nice too. From the northeast you cycle long by Eucalyptusforrest and from the southwest you cycle through the lava fields which is very spectacular.
The video we made of this trip can be watched here.
