The route
One of the six sections of Ruta 9, the round-Lanzarote bike route on tracks and paths. This one runs from Yaiza to Playa Quemada across the south of the island, through volcanic badlands, vines planted in hollows and plains of picón (volcanic gravel), with open views of the ocean and Fuerteventura. In OpenStreetMap it is marked as low technical difficulty, so it suits a gravel bike with wide tyres. It is linear: combine it with the next section or come back the same way. There are bars and water in Yaiza and Playa Quemada, and almost nothing in between: take plenty of water. Sun and wind rule in Lanzarote; the best hours are early in the morning and the best season is from autumn to spring.
