Travel: Gray in gray and rainy, that's what winter in Germany is like now and snow is hardly to be thought of. Especially for us cyclists, this time of the year in Germany is not really ideal. Because once the conditions are good, the weaker self has to be overcome first.
But somewhere in the world it's always summer and there are perfect cycling conditions. Among the many cycling destinations in the German winter, the Canary Islands are way ahead. The journey is quick and easy by plane, the time difference is not worth mentioning and the archipelago west of Africa offers the best conditions almost 365 days a year.
The main island of Gran Canaria can be reached by direct flight from many German metropolises via Las Palmas Airport. In February, about a month and a half in advance, a direct flight from Munich to Las Palmas costs from 164 euros and you escape the winter in less than five hours flight time.
