Wheels & Cheers – The unexpected West
A road cycling tour that crosses one of the island’s most scenic and off-the-beaten-path routes. We start in the heart of the inland, in a rugged area shaped by canyons and ancient mountains, then ride through hidden valleys, man-made lakes, arid landscapes, and small villages suspended in time.
The beginning is uphill but incredibly scenic: a ride immersed in a rocky, arid environment, with steady climbs and wide, panoramic curves. After the first section, we take a break with a starting pack at a stunning viewpoint. From there, the tour climbs even higher, passing through rural areas and tiny hamlets where time seems to slow down. A second refreshment stop gives us a peaceful pause in a green, tranquil setting — the perfect place to breathe deeply and recharge.
The route continues through sparse forests and ancient terraced fields, alternating between climbs and rolling hills until reaching the highest part of the day. From there, a long descent begins toward the island’s northwest, following secondary roads through agricultural landscapes and increasingly open views.
The tour ends at the ocean, with an aperitif at a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the sea — the perfect way to celebrate the ride and close out the day memorably.
ITINERARY:
Between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, we pick you up directly from your accommodation. Bikes are safely loaded onto our support vehicles, ready for one of the island’s most spectacular routes.
We head to the far west of the island, to a dramatic landscape shaped by deep ravines, sculpted rocks, and untouched nature. This is where our cycling adventure begins.
The first section follows a scenic road that climbs gradually, opening up to wider views over isolated valleys, basalt gorges, and wind-swept ridges. The pace is steady, always supported by our following vehicle.
After the initial climb, we pause at a scenic viewpoint for a short break with water, dried fruit, or a local snack — a chance to recharge before diving into the heart of the route.
We continue through rural zones with views over water reservoirs, cultivated terraces, and sparse woodlands. The terrain varies, but the beauty never fades. Our support vehicle stays close for assistance, photos, and backup.
A longer stop in a green, quiet area — the ideal setting to relax, hydrate, and take in the journey so far before the final descent.
The route heads downhill through scattered villages, cultivated fields, and peaceful hairpin turns. There’s little to no traffic, a calm atmosphere, and the landscape changes at every bend.
The tour ends at a clifftop viewpoint overlooking the sea — one of the island’s most photogenic spots. We enjoy a relaxed aperitif here, sharing laughs, photos, and the satisfaction of the ride.
After the final stop, we bring you comfortably back to your accommodation in the afternoon.
