Rent a bike
The long stretched beach promenade from Playa del Ingles to Meloneras is well suited for a relaxed bicycle trip. There’s also plenty of opportunities to cycle on the various local roads in Gran Canaria.
There are many different places that rent out bicycles in the Playa del Ingles & Maspalomas area. I counted at least 3-4 various ones. The prices for the most basic bicycle seem to be €6-7 a day. Better bicycles are available from €10-15. Racing bicycles are also available some places, priced from €20-25 and upwards.
We rented two bicycles from Lino’s Rent a Bike. Lino is a friendly and charming man who runs his bike rental business from the Faro II shopping centre in Maspalomas. He has a free pickup service from the nearby hotels, that means that you can rent a bike from him and then have him come pick up the bike at your hotel when the rental is over. Great service.
We rented two decent hybrid-bikes for two days, the cost would be €44, but he gave us a discount without even having to ask him. Ended up paying €40. There were no deposits or any complicated bureaucracy when renting.
