Wind off the Atlantic washes across the dunes as riders set off from the Maspalomas promenade — the soft sand to the right, the paved coastline to the left — and the electric motor hums underfoot, turning effort into motion. The route quickly leaves the tourist strip and climbs into a green valley of palms, cacti and Canary flora, the road rising in a steady, manageable grade until the ancient village of Ayagaures appears above the reservoir.

Reserve Tapas Ahead
If you want the cave tapas, book in advance and note they’re unavailable in July–August and require a two-person minimum for the €15 tasting.
Wear Closed‑Toe Shoes
The guide requires closed shoes for safety; pedals and short gravel near the dam make sneakers or light hiking shoes the best choice.
Mind the Weight Limit
E‑bikes have a 100 kg weight limit — confirm bike sizing and restrictions when you book to avoid last‑minute issues.
Bring a Light Jacket
Coastal mornings can be warm but windier and cooler inland and at the dam — a thin windbreaker keeps you comfortable on the descent.
Closed‑toe shoes
Protects feet on pedals and when walking short rough sections; required by the provider.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
Strong Canary sun on exposed coastal stretches and downhill sections demands sun protection.
summer
Light wind/rain jacket
Shields against cooler inland winds and unexpected showers near the reservoir.
winter
Small daypack or waistpack
