Cycling Training Camps
in Fuerteventura 2026

300 days of sun, volcanic climbs, flat coastal roads and Europe's largest sports complex. The serious cyclist's winter base.

Why Fuerteventura for Cycling?

Fuerteventura's flat northern plains and the challenging Jandía peninsula in the south offer a perfect mix of endurance and climbing terrain. The island has become the winter base of choice for professional cycling teams thanks to the reliable sunshine, empty roads, and world-class infrastructure at Playitas Resort. The consistent northeast trade winds add natural resistance that makes every session harder — and more effective — than equivalent training at home.
