The tour for the "climbers" among you. We start the tour directly at the bike station in Frontera. The first HM is to warm up on asphalt to Los Llanios where we go to the Pista Longuera which leads us back to the Cumbrestrasse after 200m. Only a few kilometers we enjoy the gentle uphill on asphalt until we continue on the slopes at Casa Forestal. The 400m are decently crisp;) Finally back on the road we drive the remaining 500m comfortably on asphalt to Malpaso. After all, we still need enough power for the following downhill. From sandy trails we come into dense laurel forest. From super flowing, switchbacks and blocked passages, this descent offers everything that makes a biker's heart beat faster. At the end of the tour and the hardships, we review the day with a cold Dorada beer.

On this tour we will visit the zero meridian in addition to the lighthouse (Faro de Orchilla). Before Columbus discovered America, the old world ended at this point and the zero meridian was defined here, which was only later relocated to Greenwich.

From pine forest to lava trails and through dense jungle, this treat offers just about everything a biker's heart desires. Start of the tour is once again La Llania. From there it goes directly to the descent of the Magma Bike Marathon. This flow trail, which can hardly be described in words, is a MUST on El Hierro. Small jumps and berms put a smile on every biker's face. Beware of the slippery pinoches (pine needles) when you leave the ideal line, they hit you mercilessly ;-) After a short pit stop, the trail continues through pine forests past almond trees in the direction of El Julan. From here begins the main climb of today's tour. Sometimes steeper, sometimes less steep, the route climbs past the Mercadel fire lookout tower. We keep screwing our way to the Cruz de los Reyes. Finally at the top we prepare for the upcoming descent. First we ride down the Camino San Salvador until we turn towards Los Llanillos. This endlessly long epic trail makes us quickly forget the hardships of the ascent. As long as our forearms allow it, we ride towards La Frontera on deserted trails.

Through the wild plateau! A short shuttle takes us to the starting point of today's tour - Mocanal. It goes uphill through Gurazoca to the Mirador de la Peña. The building bearing Cesar Manrique's signature offers a unique view of the Golfo. From the Mirador it goes down 600 meters vertically. We continue along the ridge up to the highest point of the tour, the Mirador Jinama. From here we make a short tour on the plateau of the Meseta de Nisdafe, which is reminiscent of Scotland due to its cattle pastures bordered by stone walls. From San Andres, a short and steep uphill takes us to Ventejis. Once at the top, it goes endlessly downhill along an extinct volcanic crater in the direction of the island's capital, Valverde. After a refreshment, we continue biking via the beautiful Camino Reales to the mountain village of Echedo. Here it is again necessary to mobilize the last forces to cycle back to the starting point Mocanal.

Our first shuttle takes us to La Llania today. To warm up, we do a little lap in the fairytale forest in La Llania. Flowing trails put a big grin on our faces in the morning. After the "trail fireworks" we have to climb the first meters of altitude today. The ascent takes us to the edge of the Golfo valley. From here we ride on a dream trail along the abyss to Mirador Jinama. After a short photo stop, we continue to the plateau "Meseta de Nisdafe". This landscape, which is unique for the Canary Islands, is reminiscent of Scotland due to its cattle pastures bordered by stone walls. The weather is also a bit rough here ;) Crossing the Meseta, we continue to Ventejis. A short steep ramp takes us to the highest point of this area. Along a mountain ridge we go on a mega flowing trail in the direction of the island's capital Valverde, which we also cross for the most part on trails. The final section of the first descent takes us down the ancient Camino Reales to the seaside village of La Caleta. We are grateful for every centimeter of suspension travel on these paths.

Shuttle to La Llania starting point. Right at the beginning it goes a few meters steeply uphill to the Mirador La Llania. After putting on our protectors, we cruise through the jungle interspersed with ferns and lichens. We continue via the Camino de la Virgen to the mountain village of San Andres. We continue on beautiful Caminos towards Gurazoca where we make a short rest. Then it's downhill on single trails in the direction of Charco Manso. Lava trails typical of the Canary Islands lead us down to the Charco Manso (tame bay) which rarely lives up to its name. Meter-high breakers do not really invite you to swim.

Shuttle by Taxi Express from Gustavo to La Llania. Today we follow the tracks of the Magma Bike Marathon towards the south of the island. Through the spooky forest of Llania we descend towards El Pinar. The Magma Bike Trail is awesome, no matter whether you are a freerider or a beginner, this trail highlight is a MUST for EVERY biker. 

The ground is covered with pine needles (pinoches) which are quite grippy when wet but bring us down to earth quickly when it's dry ;). At the Hoya de Morcilla picnic area there is a delicious cafe con leche. We continue through the pine forest until we reach the agricultural zone. Initially through almond groves we come across the wine-growing area of El Pinar further down. From now on the landscape changes completely, in the dry south there is not much vegetation apart from succulents and cacti. Fig trees invite you to "steal" :) - Further down the ground becomes looser and looser, from fine sand to gravel with stones the size of a medicine ball, everything is there. Shortly before the end of the first descent, we catch our first glimpse of the Tacoron bay. In our opinion by far the most beautiful bathing bay in El Hierro. Arrived at the bottom we refresh ourselves in the waters of the Atlantic and have a few tapas in the beach bar.
