The desert queen returned to the island between competitions to establish her training base in the south of Gran Canaria

 

Misha Sekulova, acclaimed for having completed the most editions of the Titan Desert and boasting a long list of cycling awards, returned to the island that was her home for many years to train. Gran Canaria, with its miles of roads that wind through its diverse landscapes, is the ideal destination for any cyclist, professional or amateur, looking to combine training and rest.

This was the case for Misha, who didn't hesitate to share with Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run his desire to cycle in our destination between competitions. The association, an official tourism brand of Gran Canaria, organized a balanced program with bike rides and moments of relaxation in accommodations designed for athletes.

The first part of her stay was spent at the Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity . The Czech cyclist highlighted the modernity and amenities of this five-star hotel. Its location nestled in the mountains makes it a haven away from the noise, where you can enjoy tranquility after a day of riding. It also boasts six swimming pools for cooling off and a spa center for those seeking complete relaxation.

And Misha never stopped cycling around Gran Canaria. Besides exploring on her own, she enjoyed several personalized routes with I'm Pedal . This Canarian company designs tailor-made itineraries, adapted to experience levels and special requests. The desert queen shared videos on her social media of her journey through the south of the island to reach the summit, highlighting the excellent service provided by I'm Pedal.

 

The other accommodation she chose as a starting point for her hikes was Seaside Palm Beach . Facing the Maspalomas Dunes, this hotel offers an oasis of tranquility in the heart of the tourist area, nestled among palm trees. Here, the professional was able to recharge between hikes with high-quality food, essential for tackling the most demanding routes. Its proximity to Maspalomas Beach also allows for walks at sunrise or sunset.

However, the training wasn't going to be limited to just endless rides. Misha took advantage of her visit to Sport Hotel Monte Felizpowered by Playitas – to do a full-body workout circuit. Its facilities and services were a real discovery for her, with post-workout shakes, courts for almost any sport, and the option of keeping her bike in her room.

Before heading home, it was essential to get a good dose of relaxation to revitalize her muscles. For this, she accessed the thalassotherapy circuit at the Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel . Seawater, known for its healing effects, speeds up the body's recovery after exertion and significantly contributes to its strengthening.
