Paolo Aresi, a journalist from the well-known Italian media, stayed at the “Suites & Villas by Dunas” hotel for several days in which he was able to tour the south of Gran Canaria through multiple cycling routes.

 

The magazine “BC” of Italian origin that has more than 10k unique visitors22,5k copies and a community of more than 6k followers on networks, traveled last July to enjoy a getaway full of cycling adventures, along a trip that allowed its journalist to learn about the offer of the official Gran Canaria Tourism brand, Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run, in matters of sport.

 

During his visit, Aresi stayed at the “Hotel Suites & Villas by Dunas” located in the privileged environment of Maspalomas. From here the journalist established his base camp to discover the incredible routes that make Gran Canaria the ideal destination for trips designed for sports to go “smoothly”.

 

To do this, he took an exciting tour to the imposing Ayagaures ravine with the guide of “Free Motion Bike Center”, experts in organizing bicycle excursions throughout the island. This company has five stores in the main tourist areas of Gran Canaria, including the capital, where it is possible to rent all types of bicycles to carry out your preferred cycling activity.

 

In his search for unbeatable routes and new experiences, he could not miss a tour of the cozy municipality of Agaete. Throughout his itinerary he made several obligatory stops, the first being at the colonial mansion “Rural Hotel Las Longueras”. There he was able to learn about its strategic location, close to access to several routes on the island, along with its 18 stations with locks and a self-repair workshop.

Subsequently, the “BC” journalist resumed his journey until he reached the familiar “Finca La Laja & Bodegas Los Berrazales”. Surrounded by centuries-old Canarian pine forests, its coffee and tropical fruit plantations result in a menu of award-winning local products. On a guided tour, she learned first-hand the arduous process involved in bringing the final result to the table, which she was able to taste with lunch at “The Romantic House".
