January in Lanzarote felt like we’d stumbled into a secret season. While friends back home were wrapped in scarves, we were pedalling along silky-smooth roads with the sun warming our backs to a perfect 20-something degrees - it felt like pure indulgence.

Over six glorious days we traced the coastline of Lanzarote, circumnavigating the island and even stole a day to hop across the water to neighbouring Fuerteventura. The beauty of this trip is the freedom. With GPX tracks and route notes in hand, we were able to choose each day’s ride, whether we wanted a short and leisurely day out, or a long and lung-busting challenge. Whatever we chose it was great knowing our bags would be waiting for us at the next hotel on arrival.

Being regular cyclists, we naturally gravitated towards the bigger challenges. My husband went all in with a feather-light carbon road bike whereas I took the e-bike upgrade and never looked back. It turned out to be the perfect pairing: he could power up the climbs while I carried the sun cream, wallets and a stash of snacks - ready to enjoy a leisurely nibble at the summit as I waited for him to catch up.

I must admit - cycling in Lanzarote was a cyclist's dream, it was so easy to get to, has glorious tarmac roads, loads of different route choices and of course… gorgeous warm sunshine.

It was the perfect winter break.
