La Graciosa by bike with children
As it requires some physical effort to ride on sandy roads, we wouldn’t recommend renting a bike in La Graciosa if you are travelling with children. The best thing to do for kids is to spend the day at Caleta del Sebo, go to the beach La Francesa on foot or go on a boat trip.

Bike Routes in La Graciosa
There are four cycling routes in La Graciosa and all of them start in the capital: Caleta de Sebo.

A circular route in the north of La Graciosa
This route is quite similar to the one to Las Conchas, but this time, instead of going back, you have to take the deviation to Pedro Barba and ride past Playa del Ambar.

Route to Montaña Amarilla
This route brings you to Punta del Cobre, at the foot of this volcano in the south of La Graciosa. The only inconvenience is that you can’t access La Francesa Beach through this path.

- Difficulty: difficult.
Which cycling route should I choose?
The two most popular routes are the ones that go along the north of La Graciosa. It’s also worth it riding to Montaña Amarilla, even though you can’t reach the beach.
Is it worth renting a bike in La Graciosa?
As it requires quite a lot of physical effort (even the easy cycling routes), we would recommend walking instead of riding a bike if you are not used to it. Otherwise, you may want to throw your bike away in the middle of nowhere, but it’s a rented bike and you can’t do that!
If you’re spending just a day in La Graciosa, renting a bike is not worth it, as you’ll have enough to see in the capital and the beaches in the south of the island. This beautiful island is to disconnect, we don’t want you to get stressed out.
