The scene was breathtaking and magical. Totally worth the early start of the day.
5 stars, would definitely recommend.

A must see on Madeira. Were thinking many others too.
I was expecting a few others and their cars up there. In reality, hundreds of people were there and all together we sat like in an ancient amphitheatre, and were watching the sun slowly rising.
One of th ethings on Madeira I was keen on:
Sunrise above the clouds. Early morning ride through the darkness up to Pico Arieiro, hoping for clouds. Felt happy to see them upon arrival.
(this will be a series throughout the next days)
Kayaking is life. Finally did a tour from Leipzig city harbour to lake Cospuden. The best way to explore nature. And to enjoy summer.
1200m above sea level. This is the highest point I reached on my bike trips on Gran Canaria this summer. High enough to catch a view over to Tenerife with Mt. Teide. (far in the back of the image)
And high enough to reach another climatic zone. It became green up there.
Imagine the fun riding it all back down to sea level.
This trip was from Maspalomas up to Parque Nublo. Roque Nublo almost marks the center of the island of Gran Canaria. As the island has 4 different climatic zones (sea level north and south, mountain area north and south), the goal was to go up to Nublo national park and see a different climatic zone.
The photo was taken on the way back along canyon walls, always the magnificient ocean view ahead.
What an awesome place to be. A short but steep trip uo to Arco del Coronadero. Another early morning start to climb uphill before the heat kicks in.
Vacation time! Another bike ride in perfect conditions. Short 42km trip to the Ayagaures reservoirs. The short round trip to get used to the conditions on Gran Canaria.
Summer, finally! Sunset Bike&Swim yesterday. These are the days I am always waiting for.
Sky above, sand below, peace within. (and a drink in your hand. Cheers.)
