Just come back from Girona, I can see why lots of pros live there, rolling quite roads with short to huge hills scattered around and the Pyrenees withing striking distance. Had a wonderful day riding along the med into France and then back over the hills to Girona.
I went to Gran Canaria last Feb and it was fantastic. Some great places to stay once you get away from the package tours (which is easy to do), smooth rides, good hills and beautiful riding......much less crowded with bikes than Majorca.
Great replies. Thanks. Need to do some research now.
Majorca is too busy with cyclists. Gran Canaria is nice but I am looking for shortish rides morning and afternoon with plenty of time for the wife and baby in the middle.
Lanzarotte is good for shorter road rides (unlike Gran Canaria there's no decent mtb I've been able to find. There some nice hour or so loops on the north of the island (which is quiet and a cool place to visit anyway) and good hire in Costa Teguise. Smooth roads, laid back drivers (unlike Gran Canaria which can be much busier close to Las Palmas than the other islands). And surf. Shame about the mtb but I think I've just talked myself into going back.
