Ride an electric bike along Gran Canaria’s southern shore from the dunes of Maspalomas to the old fishing hamlet of El Pajar. This three-hour coastal loop blends volcanic coastlines, migratory-bird lagoons, and an optional fresh-fish tapas stop.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a low-slung promenade with salt air pressing at your face and the Atlantic daring you to look farther. For three hours the electric motor hums beneath you as the route opens: windswept golden dunes, a botanical garden where mango and aloe lean toward the sun, volcanic beaches rimmed in darker sand, and a compact fishing hamlet where the sea sets its own pace.

Helmet & visibility required
A helmet and reflective vest are mandatory; wearing them keeps you legal and safer in coastal winds.
Bring sun protection and water
Strong sun and reflective sand make sunscreen and a full water bottle essential for comfort on a 3-hour ride.
Tapas are extra
The fishing-tapas stop is optional and costs about €20 per person (minimum two) — plan cash or card and time for the break.
