Cycling bases in Tenerife

Playa de las Américas

Playa de las Américas, on the sunny south coast of Tenerife, is the island's main road cycling base and one of the most reliable winter training spots in Europe. The draw is simple: warm, dry weather all year and a single climb that has no equal. The resort itself is built for visitors, with hotels at every level, easy logistics and a flat seafront for recovery, while Tenerife South airport is only a short transfer away.

Puerto de la Cruz

Puerto de la Cruz sits on the green north coast of Tenerife and offers a different trip from the resort south. This is the older, more Canarian side of the island, set in the lush Orotava valley with banana plantations, a historic town centre and a backdrop of mountains that climb straight toward the clouds. For riders who want character and quieter roads over resort convenience, the north is the more rewarding base.
