FV-30 Betancuria to Tefía
Where it goes
Betancuria → Tefía View route on Google Maps →
What to expect
This is the striking FV-30 climb out of the ancient capital of Betancuria across Fuerteventura’s panoramic central mountains, connecting to the wide-open plains of the FV-207 towards the traditional village of Tefía.
The character of the road changes completely in just 20 minutes. Starting deep in a historic valley originally hidden from the sea to avoid pirate attacks, the route climbs tight switchbacks past the giant bronze statues of ancient kings Guise and Ayose. As you descend, the rugged mountains give way to a sweeping, windmill-dotted desert landscape where locals historically ground roasted grain into a Canary staple called “gofio”.
A perfect two-in-one route that blends technical mountain carving with relaxed desert cruising. Shift your focus through the tight corners, then relax and enjoy the horizon on the long straights, experiencing the journey on a versatile bike like the 2025 Ducati Multistrada V2.
