Probably a bit late for Mallorca. What about mainland southern Spain or the canneries?
Any recommendations?

Lanzarote is good. Can be a bit windy.

That is my fear for the Canary Islands.

Went to Lanza in Jan. It was hot, around 25-30degs but stupidly windy, i was blown off riding uphill & could hardly stand up to get back on! On the plus, you can ride on the roads even in pouring rain. It's pretty small though & I wasn't impressed with the roads / riding really. Traffic wasn't great either - despite being on roundabouts with right of way, it was the norm to be ignored & have cars pull out on me. Gonna try gran canaria next, forced to go off season due to racing so limited options for sun in winter.

I've been to Lanzarote - end of November. Was coolish and rained a couple of times - not what we were expecting, but apparently we were pretty unlucky.

Not exactly massive if you plan to put in lots of roadie miles either. We were mountain biking, which was ok but limited to a couple of routes.

It was stupidly cheap though.
