Quick ride by bicycle from Maspalomas to Playa del Ingles

This is a super easy and scenic ride that links two of Gran Canaria’s most famous beach resorts: Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. You'll be cycling just about 1.5 km, so it’s perfect for a relaxed spin—maybe even in flip-flops!

Starting in Maspalomas, known for its sweeping golden sand dunes and iconic lighthouse, you’ll cruise mostly on quiet roads, glancing over at lush gardens and palm trees. There’s a short, gentle climb (about 25 meters up—no sweat) before you roll down slightly toward Playa del Inglés.

Over 85% of the way is smooth asphalt or paving, so the ride is comfortable, though you’ll pass a tiny stretch less finished—just keep an eye out. Playa del Inglés is super lively, with endless restaurants, bars, and, of course, its beautiful, wide beach. If you fancy, stick around for a swim or an ice cream!

All told, it’s the perfect little coast-hugging hop between two Canary Island highlights.
