GC-291 Cenobio de Valerón
Where it goes

What to expect
The GC-291 shows the quieter, more historic side of Gran Canaria. Up in the green, agricultural north it winds past Cenobio de Valerón — one of the island’s most important pre-Hispanic archaeological sites, a cliff-face granary carved by the islanders centuries ago.
It is a short road, but a memorable one: volcanic terrain, rural towns and the Atlantic-influenced atmosphere of the north, a world away from the dry southern coast. The 2026 Ducati DesertX V2 suits this kind of relaxed, exploratory riding perfectly.
Ride it as part of a wider north-coast loop and mix history, scenery and motorcycling in a single day. Traffic is usually light to moderate, so take it easy and soak in the surroundings.
