Las Playitas (Fuerteventura)

The small village of Gran Tarajal is a trail hotspot on Fuerteventura. The mountains between Gran Tarajal and Las Playitas are a kind of playground that offers numerous tour options. This version results in a route with almost 100% singletrack!

Description

The starting point of the route is Las Playitas and this is where the singletrail begins! A flowing path leads gently uphill, later the trail becomes a little crisper, but overall it is flowy and fun at S1 level. In this way, you circle the unnamed mountain with the summit cross and reach the village of Gran Tarajal almost entirely on singletrails. This is where the singletrail ascent begins. This leads up to a crossing, which you will reach again later from the opposite side. But now you climb towards the summit cross. The bike has to be pushed up for a short section on this section. A little below the summit, you enter a great singletrail descent over the ridge down to the coast. On the descent through this rugged area, there are always great views of the Atlantic.

From the coast, a singletrack trail leads uphill back to the transition, which you have already climbed once from the opposite side. The trail is easy to ride uphill to the transition. Afterwards, take the same push section again, but this time all the way to the summit cross. Here you have a great panoramic view, with the village of Las Playitas at your feet. This is also where the singletrail descent along the north side of the mountain rides to. This descent is a great final section of a rather short, but very great singletrail tour.
