The Italian magazines “Cyclist” and “Ciclismo.it” find a cycling paradise in Gran Canaria

 

The Italian cycling publications “Cyclist” and “Ciclismo.it” spent several days in Gran Canaria last March exploring some of the island's most iconic cycling routes with the help of “Free Motion Bikecenter .” Their tour of Gran Canaria was characterized by stunning natural landscapes and a climate that practically begged to be out on the bike; an ideal setting for cyclists that they hope to share with “Cyclist’s” more than 148.000 monthly readers and the nearly 70.000 unique monthly visitors to “Ciclismo.it.” During their stay, they also visited the sports accommodations “Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel” and “Seaside Sandy Beach,” where they had the opportunity to relax and recharge. This latest promotional activity was organized by the Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run association , the official tourism brand of Gran Canaria.

 

 

To ensure they had all the necessary equipment, Free Motion Bikecenter provided them with high-end bicycles and essential safety gear. Accompanied by their professional guides, they enjoyed two memorable guided tours . The first was a route from Playa del Inglés to Soria, a ride that included both climbs and descents. Their second trip involved a journey to the renowned Pico de Las Nieves, a challenging climb that tested their endurance while they enjoyed the stunning panoramic views of Gran Canaria's summit.

 

Rest after these intense days was of utmost importance to ensure the guests' return to calm. During their first stay at the Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel , in addition to renting their cycling equipment at the hotel's 'Free Motion' shop , they were also able to relax in the Fitness Pool of its modern thalassotherapy center. The seawater in its pools, at different temperatures, allowed them to relax their muscles and regain energy. They also had a reservation in the Harmony Zone , an exclusive area of ​​the center that includes a sauna and contrast showers.

 

 

With the aim of exploring the wide range of accommodation options available to athletes, the media representatives chose to stay at the Seaside Sandy Beach Hotel . There, they experienced the hotel's attentive service, along with its exquisite cuisine and menus designed specifically for cyclists. Furthermore, its location near major cycling routes and the Free Motion center , situated within the same complex, made this hotel the perfect base camp from which to set off on new two-wheeled adventures.

 

 

Having experienced firsthand the benefits that Gran Canaria has to offer in the field of cycle tourism, the team from the magazines “Cyclist” and “Ciclismo.it” had to say 'see you soon' to this small but great paradise of cycling.
