~ 125km, ~ 1500 Hm

Hard work,including the 14% climb to Femes and a trip to El Golfo - one of the most beautiful places of the island!

This is a really full-day-trip and is climbing gentle but steady in the heart of the island and then rolling down over La Asomada to the bigger road to Playa Blanca. Here you have a lot of traffic for some few kilometers - you should ask before if the second section of the road through La Geria is still at work - because if they made it already you could avoid the traffic in following from Masdache directly to Uga and Yaiza - not going down to La Asomada.

In Yaiza you head towards El Golfo and find one of the most beautiful places of Lanzarote - enjoy the views. Leaving El Golfo you follow the coastline to Playa Blanca,along the beautiful rocks of Los Hervideros and the Salina de Janubio where there is still salt made. On many days of the year you have on this road Fuerteventura in sight - enjoy the view again and as the road begins to drop - you are reaching Playa Blanca,w here you could get more water if you need - the hardest climb is still waiting.

For "warming you up" it goes straight to the north heading for Femes - getting steeper and steeper at the end. This is the hardest climb of the whole island - but the scenery is breathtaking. Then let it roll towards the climb for La Asomada - here you have again a road with traffic but you are downhill so it will not disturb you that much - and you are faster through. After reaching the valley of La Geria again the rest is more relaxing - getting another highspeed-downhill along Guime to Tahiche and finally to Costa Teguise.
