The route
A short loop around La Graciosa, the island with no tarmac roads north of Lanzarote. You set off from Caleta del Sebo, where the boat from Órzola arrives, and follow the sand and dirt tracks to the north of the island, passing Playa del Ámbar, between volcanoes and with Lanzarote and its Risco de Famara opposite. It is an official route within the Parque Natural del Archipiélago Chinijo: stay on the signposted tracks. The surface is compacted sand with loose sections, so a gravel bike with wide tyres or a mountain bike works better than a gravel bike with narrow tyres. In Caleta del Sebo you can hire a bike, eat and get water; outside the village there is nothing and no shade, and the trade wind blows hard almost all the time. Bring water and sun protection, and check the time of the last boat.
