The paved connection from the FV-1 is 2.7 km long; cycling and driving routes have their own distances and time estimates. For your planning, it is important to match each duration to the route it refers to.
Access and longer routes
A paved, 2.7 km municipal access road connects the FV-1 half-interchange with the urban area of Parque Holandes. The connection opened to the public in February 2024. If you arrive via this interchange, check before setting out whether traffic arrangements have changed since then. The distance refers to the connection between the interchange and the urban area, not the entire journey from another starting point.
A description of the official motorized-vehicle route network, published in March 2019, lists Route 1 from Parque Holandes to the FV-101 roundabout near Casilla de Costa in the municipality of La Oliva. Before setting out, check the current authorization and route conditions.
A driving route through Puerto del Rosario, La Oliva and Corralejo passes through Parque Holandes. It is 78.2 km long in total, with an estimated driving time of 1 hour and 34 minutes. Traffic and stops may affect the actual duration. Treat this time as a guide for the entire tour, not just the drive to Parque Holandes.
Cycling between Villaverde and Parque Holandes
The Villaverde–Parque Holandés cycling route is 8.9 km long. A route description published in March 2022 gives a duration of 45 minutes to one hour, a moderate difficulty level and 175 m of cumulative elevation gain. Check the route conditions before setting out. For planning purposes, the distance is not the only factor: also consider the stated duration, difficulty level and cumulative climb.
The route passes through landscapes of fossil dunes and Malpaís. If the scenery is also part of your travel decision, this route offers a specific reference point alongside distance and time.
There is a restaurant directly opposite the end of the cycling route. If you plan to stop there, check beforehand whether it is currently open at the route’s end point.
The cycling and driving times are not direct alternatives for the same journey: they refer to different modes of transport, distances and routes. Use the cycling time for this section and the estimate of 1 hour and 34 minutes only for the entire driving route.
