GRANGUANCHE
canary islands
Granguanche is an off-road bike route across the canary islands, planned to discover the archipelago’s ever-changing landscape and rich heritage. A chance to wander in the mountains, swim in the ocean and sleep under the stars. It’s a ride to the next ferry that goes island to island, east to west: La Graciosa, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and La Palma.

and ancient pine forests.
This archipelago seems to host every corner of the planet
…and some sights from another world.

HERITAGE
Guanches are named the aboriginals who first arrived in the Canary Islands from the nearby African mainland.
After the Spanish conquest, the European culture has been imposed and intermixed with Guanche’s traditions.
The archipelago then became a main stopover on the way to the New World, linking its history with the Americas in trades and migration.
This heritage is all around:
aboriginal caves, charming villages, historic cities and unique traditions.
