Description:
On this electric bicycle tour, you will have to opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenic view over Playa del Inglés. One of the viewpoints we will be visiting is the Mirador de las Dunas. Be awe-inspiring by the sheer size of the Maspalomas dunes with its powdery sands extending as far as to the sea. This rare natural phenomenon was declared a natural reserve since 1987.
Next, we will paddle towards the Botanical Garden of Maspalomas. Boasting over 500 plant species, your guide will introduce some of the endemic varieties of the Canary Islands such as bananas, nopal and the aloe vera. Afterwards, we make our way to the Parque del Sur (the South Park), nicknamed the green lung of Maspalomas. This park is not very touristy and relatively calm, you will have the opportunity to observe the local families relaxing or exercising in the park.
We continue our e-bike tour to San Fernando for its local market. Here, we will find stalls selling a variety of goods, ranging from local produce such as fruits, vegetable and cheeses to handicrafts and souvenirs. Cosmetic and skin care products made from local aloe vera can also be found.
After the market visit, we will explore the old neighbourhood called San Fernando. This residential area is inhabited by the majority of the locals on the island. With our two-wheels, it is easy and fun to explore the small alleys and streets of this local residence and see how the locals live. We will stop at a local tapas bar where we will get to sample some Canarian tapas and experience the local flavours.
