What’s the Weather like in Tenerife South in January
Temperature
January is the coldest month of the year for Tenerife South, Canary Islands. Although it’s cold for locals, most holidaymakers from Europe will find the temperatures pleasantly warm. At this time of year, the average temperature for the region is 18.4°C, created by average highs of 22°C during the warmest part of the day and average lows of 15°C during the coldest part of the night. Daily averages fluctuate between 18°C and 19°C throughout the month, making it one of the warmest holiday destinations in Europe in January.
The highest temperature ever registered in Tenerife in January is 28.2°C, which was recorded on January 5th 1982 at Tenerife South Airport. On the other hand, the lowest temperature ever registered on the island during this month is 9°C, which was recorded at Tenerife South Airport on January 16th 1988. Not only was this the oldest January day for the south of the island, but it is the coldest day the south of the island has ever experienced during any month.
If you want to make the most of your holiday time and visit Tenerife South when it’s hottest, forget about going in January and plan your holiday for August or September instead, when average temperatures are around 25°C.
A calima is a common weather occurrence which can happen at any time of year in Tenerife South, including in January. Whilst the trade winds normally blow in a north easterly direction over Tenerife, a calima occurs when the winds blow in directly from the east, crossing over the Sahara Desert in northern Africa and bringing with them high temperatures and low visibility, due to a high concentration of sand and dust particles in the air. In Tenerife South, January 2015 kicked off with a calima which saw average temperatures of 20°C-22°C.
Rain
During January, Tenerife South is subject to a fair bit of rainfall, with an average of 17mm falling over the course of two wet days. The likelihood of precipitation occurring drops as the month develops, starting at 16% on January 1st and falling down to 13% by January 31st. The most common types of precipitation you can expect to see in Tenerife in January are drizzle (which occurs on 31% of days with rainfall), moderate rain (29%), light rain (20%) and heavy rain (13%). When it does rain in Tenerife South, it’s usually over with very quickly and only comes in short spells, so it shouldn’t affect your holiday too much.
The highest monthly rainfall ever registered in Tenerife South in January is 135.2mm, which fell in January 2006. Arona reported 95mm of rainfall and San Miguel de Abona reported 80mm. This month also had the highest number of wet days a January has ever seen in Tenerife South ten. January 27th 2007 was declared the wettest January day ever, when 46.2mm of rainfall fell within a single 24-hour period.
Although it rains heavily 2-3 times each winter in Tenerife South, the region is sorely unprepared. Drains often get blocked up at this time of year, which causes flash flooding, often resulting in the closure of roads. Fortunately, the island’s major attractions in the South such as Siam Park, Aqualand, Jungle Park, Monkey Park and, of course, the many beaches rarely close for rain, so you’ll always find something to do.
Average Sunshine Hours
Over the course of an average January, Tenerife South boasts an average of six hours of sunshine each day, along with median cloud coverage which stays roughly the same throughout the month. It begins at 40% on January 1st and steadily drops down to 37% by January 31st. On an average day, the sky is clear/mostly clear 39% of the time, partly cloudy 19% and mostly cloudy/overcast 16%.
Average Sea Temperature
Thanks to Tenerife South’s year-round pleasant temperatures, the sea is always warm enough for swimming in. In January, the average sea temperature is 21°C. Although the sea in January is much cooler than it is in June or July, it’s still definitely warm enough to go swimming in.
Humidity
The relative humidity for Tenerife South in January averages at around 62%, ranging between 48% (comfortable) and 79% (humid), rarely falling below 29% (dry) or rising above 90% (very humid). The air is at its driest around January 13th, when the relative humidity falls below 58% (mildly humid) three days out of four, whilst it’s at its most humid around January 2nd, when it rises above 73% (humid) three days out of four.

Tenerife South Beach for January
Playa Las Vistas is one of the most popular beaches in the south of Tenerife, tucked in between Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos. This golden sandy beach stretches on for about 500m and is backed by a busy promenade lined with international bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as several supermarkets and tourist shops.
The sea here is protected by several breakwaters, so the beach rarely sees any large waves even during strong winds. There are many facilities and services provided, including sun loungers, parasols, toilets, showers, jet ski rental, pedalo rental, parasailing and one beach bar at each end. There is no life guard cover, so make sure you keep an eye on your little ones and there is no nearby parking either, so you’re best off walking.
If you’re staying in Callao Salvaje during your holiday in Tenerife South, check out Playa de Ajabo. This small black sandy beach is 100m long and 20m wide, making it perfect for families who need to keep an eye on their kids. The bay is flanked by towering cliffs which protect it from strong winds and rough waves, which makes swimming here safe for everyone almost all the time.
Due to its small size, facilities and services are limited to showers, toilets, changing rooms, parasols and sun loungers, but there is a bar just a few metres away from the beach, plus additional bars, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets just a short walk away in the centre of the resort. There is ample nearby parking and a bus stop close by.
Bars and Restaurants
Oliver’s With a Twist in Los Cristianos has repeatedly been voted the best restaurant in Tenerife by TripAdvisor. But since it’s so popular, tables get booked up on average three months in advance. So if you want to visit, you’ll definitely need to make reservations before you go on holiday. If you are lucky enough to eat here, you’ll get to pick from a two-course set menu made up of traditional British starters and main courses, each of which incorporates a modern or Canarian twist.
There is a small dessert menu available, too, with a choice of handmade puddings, plus an extensive drinks menu with a variety of English, Canarian and international beers, ciders, wines, cavas, spirits, soft drinks and coffees. Although the restaurant is remarkably small (there are only about 15 tables) the décor is superb and features many quirky trinkets which will have you looking all over the place.
Things to do in Tenerife South in January
Thanks to Tenerife’s year-round warm weather, the sea is always warm enough for swimming in even in January. This makes the start of the year a great time to practise water sports such as parascending. Parascending Tenerife is based in Puerto Colon, Playa de Las Americas and provides parascending excursions from the harbour in the resort.
You can parascend on your own, in a pair or in a group of three and everyone from as young as 18 months can give it a go. If you don’t fancy soaring 100m above the sea, Parascending Tenerife also organises whale watching tours, jet ski safaris and boat trips.
If you’ve got a taste for heights, sign up for a trip with Helidream Canarias. This company is based in Costa Adeje and offers five helicopter tours which cover everything from Tenerife’s south coast, beaches and ravines to a flight over Mount Teide and a trip across the whole of the island. You can even create your own personalised itinerary or arrange to have a helicopter pick you up at the airport for an exclusive luxury transfer.

12 Best Things To Do in Garachico, a Lovely Town in Tenerife
View of Garachico from above
Garachico was once Tenerife’s most prosperous port and it had a commercial connection with Europe, as well as Africa and the Americas. Unfortunately, the town has suffered a series of unfortunate events, including one of the most severe eruptions in Tenerife’s history, which has altered the course of history for Garachico.

A bit about the history of Garachico
The town was founded in the 15th century by a banker by the name Cristobal de Ponte and it soon became the commercial port of Tenerife, with various maritime connections with Europe and the new world.
After the first half of the 16th century, the town of Garachico was struck with misfortune and bad luck, as it was hit by various diseases, like the plague and also massive fires, that had destroyed big areas in the city and around it.
It wasn’t until the 5th May 1706 that Garachico was hit by its worst misfortune: the massive eruption of the Montana Negro volcano destroyed the town in totality and its inhabitants, the one which survived, had to flee to other areas of the island.
Since then the town was slowly rebuilt and now it’s flourishing once again, with tourism being an important part of the local economy. The development of the Sports and Fishing Port is also another source of economic activity. The sports dock is around 20,000 square meters and the fishing around 9,500 square meters, with a wide esplanade attached.
Day trip to Garachico, one of the most charming towns in Tenerife
Garachico is one of the most popular day trips for people who want to explore Tenerife and wish to discover authentic places, with typical Canarian architecture and food. Also, Garachico is one of the most beautiful towns in Tenerife, so we absolutely recommend visiting this side of the island.

Garachico seems to check all the boxes, with beautiful natural scenery, natural pools for a fantastic swim, a charming square to chill and relax, plus small restaurants that serve fresh fish and seafood.
If you have a car rental and are on the lookout for a day trip, Garachico will provide a beautiful and scenic drive, especially if you’re coming from the south of the island.

About usContactCareersPrivacyTerms and conditionsCookiesDisclaimer
Although Lanzarote has had a golf course for nearly 30 years, it has not been well known for the sport. With the newest course now two year’s old, a number of new courses in the pipeline and an enviable year round climate, that is about to change.
The dry climate in Lanzarote does not naturally lend itself to the creation of lush green golf-courses.
This is a shame as the perfect year round weather would allow golf to be played at times when it is not possible elsewhere — at least not without some discomfort.
The advent of desalination plants, which produce abundant water straight from the Atlantic means that it is now, possible to produce the rich growth of grass needed for a top-class course.
This important fact, coupled to the desire of the Cabildo to take tourism much more up-market in Lanzarote, has allowed for additional golf courses to be planned and constructed.
The long awaited Lanzarote Golf Resort opened a couple of years ago just outside Puerto del Carmen. The eighteen hole, 72 par course is 6,133 metres long and was designed by the well-known American golf course designer, Ron Kirby.
Its location on the hills overlooking Puerto del Carmen gives it the incredible backdrop of the Atlantic ocean and the course itself is planted with numerous mature palm trees and other indigenous plants. Mindful of the environmental impact, the course has been sympathetically laid out to minimise its impact upon the surrounding countryside and incorporates an irrigation system that uses recycled water.
The friendly bi-lingual staff at the Golf Resort will be happy to assist anyone who wants to play a round of golf, from the absolute beginner to advanced golfers who want to improve their game. Buggies, electronic trolleys and clubs are all available to hire, whilst an experienced instructor is also on hand for those who wish to take lessons, including lessons for children. The superb climate of Lanzarote means that golfing is possible all year round.
Summer School
If you’ve always fancied learning to play golf, why not arrange to take some classes as part of your holiday? Lanzarote Golf Resort have a range of courses suited to all abilities, with individual classes of thirty minutes priced at €23 or an hour’s instruction for two people at €50.
There are also courses for groups of between four to eight people, with the beginner’s course equalling twelve hours of tuition and costing only €150.
The advanced course which also provides twelve hours of teaching is €180.
And for children, there’s the Summer Golf School. An ideal way to introduce youngsters to this healthy activity. Individual classes of fifty minutes are on offer for €20 to students of the Golf School. Over the summer months, a twelve week course is available, with groups of four children receiving an hour and a half of tuition per week, for €150 per child.
The Golf Academy has a wide range of options for golf enthusiasts, so for more information about a tailor made course, why not contact the staff at reception?
Every Tuesday during the summer months, existing players can attend the Golf Clinic, which will be available between 10. 00 and 12.00 for €35, giving you the chance to address weaknesses in your game and polish your performance.

Golf at Montaña Roja, Playa Blanca
A further course is at the very start of construction at the south of Lanzarote, in the resort of Playa Blanca.
This course will be on the edge of the resort close to the new development of Faro Park, which has large, luxurious villas to serve the golfer, as well as a number of top-class hotels, such as the Natura Palace.
Puerto Calero Golf
Although it is close to the new course at Puerto del Carmen, it is hoped that there are plans for a golf course to be built next to the luxury marina of Puerto Calero.
This may well be some way off, so for now you will need to visit the existing courses at Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen.
Costa Teguise Golf Course
The first course on the island, Costa Teguise Golf was opened in 1978 and provides a splendid setting at the foot of an inactive volcano.
It is a championship course and offers a good standard of golf in a very pleasant environment.
Whether Costa Teguise will maintain it’s top slot when the other courses open for business, remains to be seen.
A Healthy Future
What is certain, is that the choice for the avid golfer who wants to play all year round, is only going to improve.
It has to be said, that the future of Golf in Lanzarote, looks quite healthy.

⛳ Lanzarote Golf | Tee Times & Green Fees
This course opened in late 2008 and is a welcome addition to the Island designed by Ron Kirby. The fairways are wide and undulating and the greens are big so watch out where the flag is placed.
Lanzarote Golf is a 18-hole, par 72 course with four par 3`s four par 5’s and ten par 4’s, with a total of 6.133 m. length. The course was conceived to appeal to any player regardless of handicap, to enjoy the game on wide fairways and big greens.

A (Shockingly) Short History Of ‘Hello’ : Krulwich Wonders… : NPR
A (Shockingly) Short History Of ‘Hello’ : Krulwich Wonders…Alexander Graham Bell hoped people would answer the phone with the word “ahoy.” His rival, Thomas Edison favored another greeting — we all know who prevailed.
Opinion
What do you say when you pick up the phone? You say “hello,” of course. What do you say when someone introduces a friend, a relative, anybody at all? You say “hello.” Hello has to have been the standard English language greeting since English people began greeting, no?
Well, here’s a surprise from Ammon Shea, author of The First Telephone Book: Hello is a new word.
The Oxford English Dictionary says the first published use of “hello” goes back only to 1827. And it wasn’t mainly a greeting back then. Ammon says people in the 1830’s said hello to attract attention (“Hello, what do you think you’re doing?”), or to express surprise (“Hello, what have we here?”). Hello didn’t become “hi” until the telephone arrived.
The dictionary says it was Thomas Edison who put hello into common usage. He urged the people who used his phone to say “hello” when answering. His rival, Alexander Graham Bell, thought the better word was “ahoy.”
Ahoy?
“Ahoy,” it turns out, had been around longer — at least 100 years longer — than hello. It too was a greeting, albeit a nautical one, derived from the Dutch “hoi,” meaning “hello.” Bell felt so strongly about “ahoy” he used it for the rest of his life.
And so, by the way, does the entirely fictional “Monty” Burns, evil owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant on The Simpsons. If you watch the program, you may have noticed that Mr. Burns regularly answers his phone “Ahoy-hoy,” a coinage the Urban Dictionary says is properly used “to greet or get the attention of small sloop-rigged coasting ship. ” Mr. Burns, apparently, wasn’t told.
Why did hello succeed? Aamon points to the telephone book. The first phone books included authoritative How To sections on their first pages and “hello” was frequently the officially sanctioned greeting.
In fact, the first phone book ever published, by the District Telephone Company of New Haven, Connecticut, in 1878 (with 50 subscribers listed) told users to begin their conversations with “a firm and cheery ‘hulloa.'” (I’m guessing the extra “a” is silent.)
Whatever the reason, hello pushed past ahoy and never looked back. The same cannot be said of the phonebook’s recommended Way To End A Phone Conversation. The phonebook recommended: “That is all.”
Says Ammon Shea:
This strikes me as an eminently more honest and forthright way to end a phone call than “good-bye.” “Good-bye,” “bye-bye,” and all the other variants are ultimately contractions of the phrase “God Be with you” (or “with ye”). I don’t know about you, but I don’t really mean to say that when I end a conversation. I suppose I could say “ciao” — which does have a certain etymological background of coming from the Italian schiavo, which means “I am your slave,” and I don’t much want to say that either…
The more Ammon thought about it, the more he liked “That is all.”
…For several decades the great newscaster Walter Cronkite would end his broadcasts by saying “And that’s the way it is,” a fine turn of phrase that has almost as much pith and truth to it as “That is all.” Broadcast journalist Linda Ellerbee had a similar method of ending her news segments, with the trenchant “And so it goes.” These are perfectly serviceable phrases, but even they don’t have the clarity and utility of “That is all.” I should like to see “That is all” make a comeback in colloquial speech, and I have resolved to attempt to adopt it in the few telephone conversations that I engage in.
Well, this probably wasn’t fair or even nice, but I decided to call Ammon Shea to see if he practices what he preaches. He answered his phone with a very standard “hello” and then, after I’d gotten permission to quote from his book, when it was time to end our conversation, I gave him no hint, no encouragement, I just waited to see how it would go…hoping to hear him do his “That is all.” But no…
He said, “bye.”

Ammon Shea’s new book (Perigee/Penguin 2010) is called The Phone Book: The Curious History of the Book That Everybody Uses But No One Reads.
Our illustrations come from the magical pen of Adam Cole, intern with NPR’s Science Desk, and should anyone wish to place a call to “Monty” Burns in Springfield, be prepared. This is how he will answer the phone.

Puerto del Carmen is a well-known vacation destination on the otherworldly island of Lanzarote. Lanzarote is a volcanic island that is part of the Canary Island Archipelago, a chain of islands off the coast of Morocco, that is part of the Spanish Government.
Lanzarote is particularly special because of the harsh volcanic landscapes that you will find across the island. It feels almost like you are visiting an alien planet. El Puerto del Carmen, on the other hand, is a tranquil and secluded tropical oasis. Here you will find the best things to see and do in El Puerto del Camen.

Practical information to plan your visit to El Puerto del Carmen
5 top reasons to visit El Puerto del Carmen
Playa Chica
Playa Chica or “Small Beach” is just that, a small secluded beach, set inside a volcanic cove, that makes the water warm, still, and calm. If you are traveling with kids, it is a perfect set up because the beach is small enough to keep your eyes on them at all times.
The still clear waters are perfect for swimming or snorkeling. There are plenty of critters in the water to make snorkeling the waters worth your while.
If scuba diving is your thing, some meters off the coast you will find El Veril de la Tiñosa, a sheer drop perfect for thrill-seeking explores.
Playa Grande
Playa Grande or “Big Beach” is El Puerto del Camen’s other beach, and as the name would indicate, it’s bigger than Playa Chica. Just east of Playa Chica, this beach is much longer and there is more real estate for every beachgoer.
If you want to have a bit more space to yourself on the sand, head over to Playa Grande. what you gain in personal space, you lose in “secludedness”. Playa Grande can get windy at times as it doesn’t have a surrounding cove breaking the wind.
Playa Grande is pristine and just a few meters from the beach from you will find a bunch of places where you can enjoy a bite to eat and a cold drink.
Scuba Diving
Puerto del Carmen is an amazing place for scuba diving, especially if you are a novice.
The waters surrounding the Canary Islands are calm and warm thanks to the currents that get there from the Sahara and Gulf of Mexico. These conditions make the water, not only great for diving but very fertile as well. The waters of the Canary Islands are teeming with life and it’s one fo the best places on earth to go whale watching.
Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park
This is a great option if you are traveling with kids. Just outside of town you will find Rancho Texas, a Texan themed water park and zoo with live animal shows.
This activity will take up almost a full day, so if you are planning on visiting, keep that in mind. Your best bet is to check out the zoo in the morning, while the weather is still cool and in the afternoon head on over to the water park. .
Rancho Texas features cougars, white tigers, sea lions, and a great variety of exotic birds. They even offer an eagle show where the birds of prey show off their impressive hunting skills.
Timanfaya National Park
Just 20 minutes from El Puerto del Carmen you will find one of Spain’s most interesting nature parks.
Lanzarote, as we mentioned, is a volcanic island, Timanfaya is the volcanic epicenter of the Island: kilometers and kilometers of desolate volcanic landscapes and in the center the volcano itself.
This beautiful and alien landscape was created when, back in 1730 the Timanfaya volcano erupted and for over six years, spewed lava and covered a quarter of the island in volcanic rock.
Nowadays the Volcano lays dormant, calmly venting out heat from the earth’s core. In fact, if you make it all the way op the volcano you will find the El Diablo restaurant which literally cooks all its food using only the heat that emanates from the volcano’s core. Interesting to say the least.
Best time to visit El Puerto del Camen
The Canary Islands enjoy a tropical climate, so in that sense, you will have decent weather all year round. When it comes to crowds, the two most crowded times to visit Lanzarote is during the summer months.
If you are looking to avoid crowds and the heat of the summer then the months of March, April, and May are a good bet.

My top 5 things to do in Lanzarote
With so many amazing places to visit in Lanzarote (read on for over 30 that I recommend!), you may not have time to see them all, even on the typical 7-10 day break. So for those short of time I’ve listed my top 5 things to do first, to get you started. We stayed at the centrally located Finca Malvasia on this leg of the trip.
Jameos del Agua Lanzarote
Timanfaya National Park or the surrounding Parque Natural de los Volcanes – to discover the unique volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote.
Take a wine tour and go bodega hopping in the La Geria wine region – to taste the quality white wines and see how the vineyards thrive, despite the lack of water.
Visit Playa Papagayo and the string of rocky coves nearby – beautiful and undeveloped, they sit within a protected reserve, for sheltered swimming on the warm south coast of Lanzarote.
Visit Jameos del Agua, created by celebrated local artist Cesar Manrique – it’s a volcanic cave, turquoise lagoon, restaurant and events space all in one. If you can’t make it, try and visit at least one of the Cesar Manrique sites scattered around Lanzarote.
Take a day trip to La Graciosa – the smaller island to the north of Lanzarote which is just half an hour by ferry and great for cycling and swimming.

1. Timanfaya National Park
The austere landscape of Lanzarote is shaped by the volcanic eruptions of the past, notably those from 1730-1736. During these six years a third of the island was covered with lava flow and ash. The Timanfaya National Park was created in 1974, taking a slice out of the surreal moonscape left by the cooling lava and it’s one of the most popular things to see in Lanzarote.
There are several different things to do within the park, which is accessed from the road between Mancha Blanca and Yaiza. Since the different attractions are spread along the road, you’ll ideally need to visit the Timanfaya National Park by car or take a guided tour.

What to see in Timanfaya National Park
Timanfaya National Park tickets (cost €12 per adult) are available at the booth for the Montañas del Fuego or Fire mountains, allowing you to drive up the access road to the car park. Leaving your car here, the ticket includes a 30 minute coach tour on the Ruta de los Volcanes that winds through the park to view the charcoal and ochre moonscape.
At the end of the tour the guides create a water geyser and demonstrate the geothermal heat of the active volcano. You can also access the adjoining El Diablo restaurant designed by Cesar Manrique where chicken and steaks are roasted over an open barbeque, heated by underground volcanic activity.
Timanfaya National Park Lanzarote
A little further along the main road towards Mancha Blanca is the Timanfaya visitor centre. It’s free to visit and has a viewing platform over the volcanic lava fields, as well as interesting displays to explain the volcanic activity.
El Diablo Restaurant at Timanfaya National Park
Also just off the road in the Yaiza direction is the Echadero de Camellos or camel station. Here you can take a ride in the camel train and visit the small museum to learn how camels were used in the past to work the land. The cost is €12 per camel for 2 people for a 20 minute ride.
Montañas del Fuego at Timanfaya National Park
Visitors on a budget can drive along the Mancha Blanca to Yaiza road through the park and look around the visitor centre for free. If you don’t want to pay for the Montañas del Fuego tour, an alternative is to drive to the parking spots in the nearby Parque Natural de los Volcanes, where there are interpretation boards and walking trails to some of the volcanoes.
To learn more about the park and activities available, read my article: Timanfaya National Park and the volcanoes of Lanzarote
2. Parque Natural de los Volcanes
Much of the volcanic landscape outside the Timanfaya Park is included in the Parque Natural de los Volcanes. There are parking areas with information boards and walking trails to a number of the volcanoes.
A great way to learn more about the geology, flora and fauna of this area is with an expert guide, on the 3 volcanoes tour we took with Eco-insider. If you prefer to visit independently, the following volcanoes have parking areas and walking trails around them.
Caldera Blanca crater in Lanzarote
Walking trails in the Parque Natural de los Volcanes
Caldera Blanca / Montana Blanca – Head west from Mancha Blanca to find the car park at the start of this walking trail. This round trip takes a few hours, through the badlands or malpais, as the lava fields are known. Passing the smaller Caldereta, you’ll reach Caldera Blanca for an easy climb to the top of the crater and walk around the rim with views towards the coast. If you don’t have time for the long walk, the 3 volcanoes tour with Eco-insider will take you directly to the base by land rover.
Montana Colorada / Caldera Colorada – an easy trail from a parking area runs around the volcanic cone, although you are not allowed to climb it. Beside the trail is a huge volcanic bomb which is thought to have been deposited by the lava flow in the 1730s eruptions.
The volcanic bomb at Montaña Colorado in Lanzarote
Caldera de los Cuervos / Volcán el Cuervo – From the parking area a well marked trail leads towards the crater and runs right inside, then around the crater to take you back to the car park.
Montaña Los Rodeos – This 4 hour walk takes you along a straight dirt track to a high volcanic cone, with a trail that runs up to the peak, for views over the surrounding area. There is a parking area just south of La Mancha.
Read my article about our walking tour in the Parque Natural de los Volcanes and our 3 volcanoes tour with Eco-insider.

3. Lanzarote wines in the La Geria region
The La Geria region of Lanzarote is where you’ll find the vineyards and wineries, to learn about the island’s unique style of viniculture and taste the high quality wines. While the sweet Malmsey wine of the Canary Islands was praised by Shakespeare, most of the Lanzarote vineyards were planted after the 1730 eruptions, which covered the fertile farmlands with volcanic ash. Finca Malvasia Vineyard, where we stayed, is set in a working vineyard in the heart of this region.
Wine tours Lanzarote
The vineyards have a stark appearance, with vines planted individually in hollows, then covered in a mulch of grey picon gravel. With very low rainfall, the vineyards receive moisture from the northern trade winds and the dew that is channelled to the base of the vine. Low semi-circular stone walls known as zocos protect the vines and help to create a sheltered microclimate.
Making a bodega hopping wine tour is a fun thing to do in Lanzarote, either with a company like Wine Tours Lanzarote or on your own by driving around the different wineries. The main grape variety of Malvasia Volcanica makes a light, fresh white wine, but you can also look out for varieties such as Diego, Listan Negro and the Moscatel used to make sweet, perfumed dessert wines.

Wineries to visit in Lanzarote
It’s easy to spot the wineries on the road between Monumento al Campesino and Uga, and they all offer wine tastings either as a small taste to try before you buy, or sold by the glass from their bar or restaurant. Larger wineries such as El Grifo or Bodegas Rubicon offer a wide range of wines and additional things to see like a wine museum or restaurant.
El Tablero winery in Lanzarote
It’s also fun to explore down the side roads to find smaller boutique wineries like the El Tablero winery that sells direct to the public or the Vega Volcan smallholding that we discovered on our tour with Wine Tours Lanzarote. If you like hiking, you may enjoy this La Geria vineyards hiking tour which includes a wine tasting.
You can read more about Lanzarote wine in my article about our tour of the vineyards and wineries
4. Lanzarote beaches – Playa de Papagayo
Some of the most beautiful beaches in Lanzarote are around Playa de Papagayo to the south of the island, which provides an unspoiled alternative to the busy holiday resorts. This string of coves can either be accessed from the large car park at Playa Papagayo or by turning off on side tracks that lead to other beaches such as Playa Mujeres and Playa Caleta del Congrio.
Playa de Papagayo in Lanzarote
The beaches are within the Los Ajaches reserve so there’s no development here. You’ll need to pay a small charge of €3 to take your car into the reserve, payable at a booth on the entry road. Expect scenic views from the cliff tops, sandy beaches and crystal clear water for swimming, making these beaches a great place to relax for a few hours.
Views over the Papagayo beaches in Lanzarote
The two beach restaurants get very busy, so bring your own picnic and water if you plan to spend the day here. These beaches are also visited by yachts and boat tours from Puerto del Carmen, so this is another way to enjoy their beauty for a day of sailing and swimming.
5. Jameos del Agua caves
The Jameos del Agua caves are one of the popular Lanzarote attractions designed by Lanzarote’s most famous artist, Cesar Manrique. Entering through a system of lava tubes, you pass a dark and mysterious underground lake, populated by tiny white albino crabs, sitting like tiny stars on the bottom.
Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote
The path leads you up into the sunlight, to a turquoise lagoon surrounded by palm trees and protected by walls of volcanic stone. There’s a 60s vibe and you half expect to spot Roger Moore or Sean Connery surrounded by a bevy of bikini clad Bond girls.
Jameos del Agua Lanzarote
At one end of the lake is an underground auditorium used for concerts, created in another of the lava tubes. Scattered about the site are several cafes and the restaurant offers special evening events with live music. Jameos del Agua is my top tip for instagrammers – it’s incredibly photogenic even though it was created long before Instagram was invented!
This full day tour of Lanzarote includes Jameos del Agua as well as several other places around the island.

6. A day trip to La Graciosa
Take a day trip to the island of La Graciosa, just north of Lanzarote, for a relaxing day of cycling and swimming. The ferry (book tickets in advance here) takes just 30 minutes from Orzola and is part of the fun of the trip, as you spot seabirds and look up at the looming Famara cliffs topped by the Mirador del Rio. With only a few dirt tracks that criss-cross the island and one main town of Caleta del Sebo, a trip to this unspoiled island is like stepping back in time.
Read my article from our visit: Visit La Graciosa from Lanzarote: a day trip of cycling and swimming
Caleta del Sabo – Graciosa day trip from Lanzarote
One of the fun things to do in La Graciosa is to rent bikes and cycle through the volcanic landscape to discover golden beaches such as Playa de las Conchas and Playa de la Francesca. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in Caleta del Sebo where you can eat delicious seafood and admire the views of the ocean and the fishing boats in the harbour. If you love sailing and swimming there are also plenty of sailing trips that will take you to La Graciosa for the day.
Cycling la Graciosa Lanzarote Playa de las Conchas – Graciosa day trip from Lanzarote
If you prefer, you can also walk the trails to reach the far side of the island or skirt along the south coast for sheltered beaches and swimming. La Graciosa is part of the UNESCO Biosphere reserve made up of the five Chinijo islands and it’s a glorious place to spend a day when the sun is shining .
South Coast – Things to do in Lanzarote
Having covered my top 5 things to do in Lanzarote, let’s take a tour around the rest of the island. We’ll start with the warm and sheltered south coast, home to numerous sandy beaches and the most popular holiday resorts.
7. Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is the largest and busiest of the Lanzarote holiday resorts, with sandy beaches and plenty of bars and restaurants. This is where many expats have holiday homes and where you’ll get the typical package holiday experience of sun, sea and relaxation.
View of the marina in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote
As holiday accommodation is plentiful, Puerto del Carmen is where you are most likely to find a bargain holiday if you are on a budget. Although the resort is a bit busy for my tastes as a place to stay, I enjoyed a wander round and here’s what I’d recommend if you are just visiting;
Off for a walk along the coastal path to Puerto Calero
Top things to do in Puerto del Carmen
Take a stroll from the old town harbour along the boardwalk overlooking the marina.
If you have time, continue on the coastal walk following the cliffs to Puerto Calero.
There’s a water bus from the old town harbour of Puerto del Carmen to Puerto Calero with Lineas Romero so you can walk one way and take the water bus on the return.
Hotel Fariones overlooking the beach in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote
In the opposite direction you can relax or swim from the beaches of Playa Chica and the long stretch of golden sand at Playa Blanca.
Diving schools operate from Playa Chica, which is a small beach bounded by rocks, so it’s a good place for beginners to learn to dive.
There are plenty of bars, restaurants and coffee shops on the strip that backs Playa Blanca as well as in other parts of the resort.
Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote
8. Puerto Calero
A little further along the coast from Puerto del Carmen is Puerto Calero, which is not so much a beach resort as a marina that’s oozing with style and money. There is some holiday accommodation but it’s mostly private apartments and villas rather than hotels, and the whole place is a lot smaller than Puerto del Carmen.
Puerto Calero in Lanzarote
I popped in here for a walk around and thought it was a great place to stop for lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants around the marina. Sadly there’s no beach for swimming, but Puerto Calero will appeal to anyone who enjoys sailing and watching the yachts in the harbour. If you have a taste for designer shopping there’s also a small arcade of upscale clothes shops, with a few more gift stores set back from the marina.
This is also the base for sailing trips along the coast, or you can take the water bus to and from Puerto del Carmen as an alternative to the coastal path.
Puerto Calero in Lanzarote
9. Arrecife – capital of Lanzarote
As the capital of Lanzarote since the 19th century, Arrecife has more of a working town feel than a holiday vibe. It’s the administrative and commercial centre of the island, with the bustle of locals going about their business. To get a feel for local life I’d recommend spending a few hours here, to wander around the old quarter and see some of the cultural attractions. Here are my top picks for things to do in Arrecife.
Arrecife in Lanzarote
We started with a wander around the Charco San Gines, an enclosed lagoon full of small fishing boats and leisure crafts that’s lined with cafes and restaurants.
Our walk continued through the streets of the old quarter, past the old church of San Gines in a pretty square and the enclosed market or Ayuntamiento de Arrecife.
On one of the main pedestrian streets leading to the seafront we stopped at La Casa Amarilla, which was originally the government headquarters. The elegant old building is now used as a cultural centre with changing exhibitions about life on Lanzarote.
Reaching the seafront, we crossed the old stone bridge to visit the Castillo de San Gabriel, a small fortress that has been made into a museum about the history of Arrecife.
Nearby on the seafront is the Casa de la Cultura, an art museum which has some original murals and artworks by local artist Cesar Manrique.
Further along the seafront is the UNED library belonging to the university which has some original Cesar Manrique murals. It’s not generally open to the public but if things are quiet they may let you in to take a look.
Arrecife in Lanzarote
Castillo de San José in Lanzarote
On the outskirts of Arrecife we visited Castillo de San José, a stone fortress guarding the harbour that was built in the 18th century. It now houses the International Contemporary Art Museum which was founded by Cesar Manrique, opening in 1976 to house a collection of contemporary art with leading local artists, including a few of Manrique’s own paintings.

South-West coast – things to do in Lanzarote
The south west coast of Lanzarote is the most sheltered part of the island, home to the glorious beaches around Playa Papagayo that I’ve already mentioned in my top 5 things to do. The main holiday resort here is Playa Blanca, with the swanky Marina Rubicon and from here the road skirts north along the coast with several interesting places to stop.
10. Marina Rubicon
The resort of Playa Blanca is full of holiday apartments and hotels with some pleasant beaches and a strip of shops and restaurants. On the edge of the resort Marina Rubicon is worth a stop, if you enjoy looking at at beautiful yachts and hanging out with the sailing community.
Like many marinas this tends to be a magnet for the stylish crowd, with bars, restaurants and upmarket shopping clustered around the harbour. There’s also an artisan market held at Marina Rubicon on Wednesday and Saturday with a range of local crafts and produce.
Marina Rubicon in Lanzarote
11. Lanzarote Underwater Museum
Just off the coast from Marina Rubicon is the Lanzarote underwater museum, also known as Museo Atlántico which is an underwater sculpture park. Divers will enjoy swimming around the cement figures which are 12 metres deep, created by artist Jason deCaires Taylor.
Dive tours are arranged from Playa Blanca and even if you don’t have a licence, you can take the beginner’s diving package which involves some basic training and then a dive with an instructor. Museo Atlántico has ten different groups of underwater figures which form a natural reef including the famous Raft of Lampedusa, a reference to the refugee crisis in Europe.

12. Las Salinas de Janubio
Follow the road north from Playa Blanca (along smaller LZ-701 road that runs parallel to the newer LZ-2) and you’ll arrive at Las Salinas de Janubio. This patchwork of salt flats makes a pretty photo at sunset and the Mirador de las Salinas restaurant is a good place to stop for lunch with a view.
Janubio salt flats in Lanzarote
In the past much of the coastline was covered with salt pans, to harvest sea salt that was used to preserve food in the days before refrigeration. Tours are also available of the salt pans run by the Salinas de Janubio on weekdays at 10.30am for English speakers.
If you continue your drive around the coast, there’s a car park on the headland with access to the black volcanic sand beach of Playa de Janubio.
Janubio sea salt in Lanzarote
13. Los Hervideros
Continuing on the coast road brings you to Los Hervideros where the waves crash against the cliffs and bubble up through blowholes and lava tunnels. The name Los Hervideros literally means “boiling pots”, since the sea here washes in and out of the caves, churning and throwing up spray.
Los Hervideros in Lanzarote
Follow the path from the car park to find balconies and viewpoints where you can feel the power of the Atlantic waves and look down into the blowholes and foaming water.
Los Hervideros in Lanzarote
14. Charco de los clicos
Nearby, on the southern edge of the village of El Golfo is the curious green lagoon known as Charco de los Clicos, glowing in the sun like an emerald against the black sand. You can reach it easily in a short walk from the carpark to a viewpoint where you can look down on this green lagoon or “Lago Verde” and the black sand beach.
Charco de los Clicos in Lanzarote
The green colour comes from the algae that live in the water and this area is protected as a nature reserve, with no swimming in the lagoon allowed. A path also leads down to the black sand beach where blue fishing boats are left on the shore, making a pretty picture. If you don’t have a car, this full day tour of Lanzarote includes a stop at Lago Verde and El Golfo.
Charco de los Clicos in Lanzarote
15. El Golfo
After visiting Lago Verde, walk into the village of El Golfo, a quiet fishing village with white houses, that’s known for its seafood restaurants. I can recommend settling down for lunch on one of the restaurant terraces, with a view of the Atlantic waves breaking against the jagged black rocks.
El Golfo in Lanzarote
From the car park at the furthest end of the village is a coastal path from El Golfo to Playa El Paso, which runs along the rugged coast on the edge of the Timanfaya lava field.
Lunch in El Golfo Lanzarote Fish stew in El Golfo in Lanzarote
Central region – things to do in Lanzarote
The central part of Lanzarote was once fertile farmland, although much of it was covered by the lava flow and ash from volcanic eruptions in the 1730s. I’ve already mentioned the Timanfaya National Park and the La Geria wine region in my list of the top 5 things to do in Lanzarote but there are several other places that are well worth a stop.
Where to stay in Lanzarote
We stayed in the centre of Lanzarote at Finca Malvasia – boutique rural accommodation in the heart of the La Geria wine region, set among a working vineyard. The stylish cottages converted from the old winery are furnished in contemporary style, around a turquoise Cesar Manrique style swimming pool. Read my review of Finca Malvasia here.

Finca Malvasia in Lanzarote
16. Museo-Casa del Campesino
The Museo – Casa del Campesino is one of the sustainable tourism initiatives founded by artist Cesar Manrique and is dedicated to the farmers and artisans of Lanzarote. The traditional finca or farmstead hosts craft shops and workshops set around the courtyard, with an excellent restaurant serving local dishes.
Casa Museo del Campesino Lanzarote Casa Museo del Campesino in Lanzarote
I tried my hand at painting with the red dye from cochineal beetles that feed off the local cactus. Other workshops include making the Mojo Canarian sauce, plaiting palm leaves to make hats and baskets, and baking with the gofio cornmeal.
Painting with cochineal at the Casa Museo del Campesino in Lanzarote
Monumento a la Fecundidad
Next to the Campesino is the Monumento a la Fecundidad (Monument to Fertility) designed by Cesar Manrique as a tribute to the farming communities of Lanzarote. The abstract sculpture made of old water tanks is reminiscent of an ear of corn, a camel or a goat depending on which way you look at it. If you’d like to discover more, you can take this Cesar Manrique full day tour which includes this and many other attractions designed by the artist.
Monumento al Campesino Lanzarote
17. Lagomar
LagOmar is a unique house and visitor attraction in Lanzarote that once belonged to 70s heart-throb Omar Sharif, who bought it after filming on the island. The property was the design of artist Jesús Soto, but Omar Sharif barely lived here, since the story goes that he lost it in a game of bridge and never returned to Lanzarote.
LagOmar in Lanzarote Lagomar in Lanzarote
Built into the hillside, with not a straight line in sight, the property is full of hidden chambers and vistas over the turquoise pools and sheltered gardens. After falling into disrepair, LagOmar was redeveloped by new architect owners in the 1980s to create an artistic and cultural centre. This is a place where you’ll want to photograph every beautiful nook and cranny and we can also recommend the cafe and restaurant overlooking the lagoon pool.
Lagomar in Lanzarote
18. Cesar Manrique Foundation at Tahiche
The Volcano House near Tahiche was the home of artist Cesar Manrique for 20 years from 1968 to 1988 and is now headquarters of the Cesar Manrique Foundation that maintains his artistic legacy. Although it was closed when we visited, it’s well worth a visit to see the place that Cesar Manrique himself designed, built into a series of lava bubbles left from the volcanic eruptions.
Cesar Manrique foundation at Tahiche
The lower floors enclosed by volcanic rock, house a characteristic turquoise lagoon pool and built in seating areas with sculptural plants and vegetation. The upper floors are spacious, light and bright, while the artists’ former studio is now used as an exhibition space.

Cesar Manrique later moved to a quieter home at The Palm House in Haria (also run by the Cesar Manrique Foundation) and used the Volcano House as his headquarters and exhibition space, until he sadly died in a car crash in 1992.
If you’d like to discover more, you can take this Cesar Manrique full day tour which includes this and many other attractions designed by the artist.

Teguise
Teguise is the former capital of Lanzarote which was founded in 1402 and definitely on my list of top places to go in Lanzarote. The old town area is mostly pedestrianised, so you can wander among the pretty whitewashed buildings and traditionally built houses, now converted into restaurants or gift shops. My top things to do in Teguise include:
Teguise in Lanzarote
Best things to do in Teguise
Visit the Teguise market that takes place on Sundays in the morning until around 2pm for artisan crafts and traditional produce. On market day the town is lively but it’s quieter at other times and many shops are closed on Mondays.
Wander around the gift and artisan shops – this is the place to find a great selection of stylish items and traditional crafts.
Have a drink or lunch in one of the pavement cafes in the old town and watch the world go by – we can recommend Cantina Teguise which has a modern take on traditional dishes.
Visit the Casa Museo Palacio Spinola, a gorgeous old mansion that now houses the Museo del Timple dedicated to Lanzarote’s traditional instrument similar to a small guitar.
Look around the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the central square that built over the giant water cistern that held the town’s water supply.
For a place to stay in the heart of the old town, take a look at the stylish boutique hotel Palacio Ico with 9 contemporary suites and bedrooms in an historic 17th century mansion.

20. Castillo Santa Barbara and Pirate museum
While you are visiting Teguise, you might want to drive up the hill overlooking the town to the Castillo Santa Barbara, a fortress on the volcanic hill that was started in the 14th century. The Castillo now houses the Museo de la Pirateria which documents the Berber pirate attacks on Teguise during the 16th and 17th century.
Looking for a place to stay in Lanzarote? We can recommend the boutique vineyard accommodation at Finca Malvasia – read my review
Most of the invaders came in search of slaves or those they could kidnap for ransom. The castle and Lanzarote Pirate Museum were closed for renovation at the time of our visit but should be open later in 2021.

North – things to do in Lanzarote
The north of Lanzarote has a wild and rocky character, in contrast with the sheltered and warm south coast. The prevailing winds from the north make the beaches windy and popular for surfing, with dramatic cliffs and a volcanic landscape mixed with fertile hidden valleys like that at Haria.
Where to stay in Lanzarote
We stayed in the north of Lanzarote at the delightful Finca de Arrieta with Lanzarote Retreats – a small eco-village on the northern coast at Arrieta which has a number of different villas, stone lodges and yurts with a relaxed and friendly vibe, that are ideal for independent travellers. Read my review of Finca de Arrieta here.

21.
Haria
The small town of Haria has a peaceful, rural feel with an Arabic flavour due to the number of palm trees. It’s known as the Valley of 1000 Palms due to the local custom of planting two palm trees on the birth of a boy and one on the birth of a girl. As you approach on the hill road from Teguise you’ll get the most dramatic views of Haria as the road winds steeply down into the valley.
Most people visit on Saturday when the Haria market is in full swing, with artizan craft stalls set out on the main square of Plaza León y Castillo. At other times there isn’t a huge amount to see, other than wander around some of the craft shops or visit the Cesar Manrique House on the edge of town.
The market at Haria Lanzarote
22. Cesar Manrique house museum – Haria
The Cesar Manrique house museum at Haria is in a quiet location on the edge of the town and was closed when I visited Lanzarote, but I’d love to go back to see it. After living for 20 years at his house in Tahiche (now the Cesar Manrique Foundation) the artist started work in 1986 on land that he had owned for some years, to renovate and rebuild an old farmhouse.
Set among the palm groves – Cesar Manrique house museum at Haria
In this quieter location, set among the palm groves, Cesar Manrique made his home and had his studio until his untimely death in a car crash in 1992. The Palm House at Haria is the most intimate of the Manrique designed properties that are open to the public around Lanzarote, and has been left as if he had just walked out of the door.

The artist’s studio in a separate building has been conserved as it was on the day he died, with canvases and unfinished paintings stacked around the walls and floor and oil paints lying all around.
If you’d like to discover more, you can take this Cesar Manrique full day tour which includes many attractions designed by the artist.
23. Jardin de Cactus
The Jardin de Cactus was one of my favourite places to visit in Lanzarote, with a collection of 4500 cactus and succulents from all over the world. They are contained within a sheltered garden surrounded by the walls of an old quarry. The cactus garden is another creation of Cesar Manrique’s, who spotted the potential of this rofera or volcanic plug, with the photogenic windmill at one end.
Jardin de Cactus Lanzarote
We spent a pleasant couple of hours here, basking in the suntrap with the high rocky walls providing shelter from the wind. It’s amazing to see the variety and sculptural quality of the cactus that take many years to grow to such size. In case you don’t have a car, the Cactus garden is included in this full day Cesar Manrique tour.
Looking for a place to stay in Lanzarote? We can recommend the eco-village at Finca de Arrieta – read my review
There’s an excellent cafe with a terrace overlooking the garden, specialising in local dishes from Lanzarote. You might like to sample the cactus burgers made from the fleshy cactus leaves or other dishes made from prickly pear cactus fruit.

24.
Cueva de los Verdes
Close to Jameos del Agua, which I’ve already mentioned in my top 5 things to do in Lanzarote, are the Cueva de los Verdes. The “Green Caves” are an underground complex of volcanic lava tubes from the eruption of nearby Volcán de la Corona. They were transformed into a tourist attraction by local artist Jesús Soto, who designed the illuminations with coloured lights and soft, atmospheric music.
Cueva de los Verdes in Lanzarote
Entrance is through a guided tour that takes you through the caves, with some narrow and claustrophobic passages opening up into a series of chambers. Within the final cave is an underground auditorium, which is used regularly for underground concerts. The Green Caves are included in this full day Cesar Manrique tour which covers many of the attractions designed by the artist.
Cueva de los Verdes in Lanzarote Cueva de los Verdes Lanzarote
25. Arrieta
We stayed at Arrieta in the north of Lanzarote at the relaxing eco-retreat of Finca de Arrieta, with Lanzarote Retreats (read my review here). The eco-village is set just outside this laid back coastal village, made up mostly of whitewashed holiday homes and apartments with no hotels.
Surfers of Playa de la Garita at Arrieta in Lanzarote
Even if you’re not staying at Finca de Arrieta, it’s worth a stop at the beach when you’re driving north along the coast road. I can recommend lunch at the Casa de la Playa beach restaurant right on the beach which serves excellent seafood or a drink at the Mojito van on the promenade. Read more about some of the best food in Lanzarote.
Playa de la Garita in Arrieta is a popular beach with surfers who are mesmerising to watch as they hang in the swell, waiting to catch the perfect wave.
The Mojito van in Arrieta
Walking through town there’s another small beach with the unusual Casa Azul, which was built by a local man for his daughter so that she could recover from tuberculosis, which is said to be modelled on her doll’s house.

26.
Mirador del Rio
Yet another creation of Cesar Manrique, the Mirador del Rio on the northern tip of Lanzarote, is part viewpoint, part visitor centre, part cafe. Sitting 400m high on top of the sheer Famara cliffs, the views are towards the island of La Graciosa and the “Rio” or strait of water that lies between it and Lanzarote.
Graciosa view from Mirador del Rio –
We visited right at the end of the day, when the light was turning golden and illuminating the flat plain of Isla Graciosa with just a few bumps of the extinct volcanoes. There are several different viewing levels and numerous ‘selfie’ spots, as well as the coffee shop designed by Cesar Manrique with panoramic windows. The Mirador del Rio is included in this full day Cesar Manrique tour which covers many of the places designed by the artist.
Explore the volcanic landscape of Teide National Park in Tenerife

There’s a charge to visit, or you can buy a multi-visit card to include the other attractions run by CACT Lanzarote. If you’re on a budget you can just walk a little way down the road to find other viewpoints on the clifftop.
27. Famara surfing
On the north-west coast of Lanzarote, Famara beach is known for its long stretch of sand backed by dunes, which is a mecca for surfers. The Atlantic surf that pounds this beach makes it an obvious choice for surfing and other sports such as kitesurfing, with numerous surf schools that offer surfing lessons.
Famara beach in Lanzarote
There’s a cool, hippy vibe here, with a string of cafes, seafood restaurants and side streets that are covered with sand between the low whitewashed houses facing the ocean. I can recommend the cafe of Las Bajas which had super- friendly staff, where they make the most amazing Venezuelan arepas, a spongy wrap made with corn flour and lots of tasty fillings.
Although I didn’t try out the surfing, I found it very soporific watching the surfers in action from the beach, willing them to stay on their board as they caught each wave.
Famara beach in Lanzarote
28. Ermita de las Nieves
At the top of the Famara cliffs, looking down on the beach, is an amazing viewpoint at Ermita Nieves, well worth driving up to for the views. The small chapel, which is closed except for services, was established in the 15th century and is dedicated to the “Virgin of the Snows”.
Ermita Nieves in Lanzarote
In front is a large parking area and from here you can walk along the cliff top to look down on the town of Famara. There are numerous rocks and boulders where you can perch for that perfect Instagram image, making you look as if you are on the edge of a sheer drop even though you are a little way from the edge! For walkers there’s a path from here that winds steeply down the cliff and takes you to the beach at Famara.
Ermita Nieves in Lanzarote
Around Lanzarote
There are a few other things to do in Lanzarote that I want to recommend that aren’t specific to one part of the island.
29. Local markets in Lanzarote
The local markets in Lanzarote are a fun way to discover the artisan crafts and shop for authentic souvenirs. Look out for the stalls that sell traditional food products such as goats cheese, fig or mulberry jam, local breads and fresh vegetables like the local cherry tomatoes.
Some of the markets focus on fruit and vegetables, ideal if you are self-catering and want to buy locally grown produce. The best known are Haria market on Saturday and Teguise market on Sunday but there are many more. Here’s a list of some of the popular Lanzarote markets:
Teguise Market in Lanzarote

30. Swim in the natural pools
For lovers of wild swimming, the natural swimming pools in Lanzarote make a fun change from the beaches. They are created on rocky shores where the rock formations have been enclosed and equipped with ladders and steps to make it safer to swim, sheltered from the waves and surf. We visited the rock pools at Punta Mujeres, just north of Arrieta where we were staying. This small fishing village has a whole series of rock pools on the seafront, which are easy to locate as you walk along the promenade.
The rock pools of Puntas Mujeres in Lanzarote
The other well known rock pools of Los Charcones are in a more secluded location off the small LZ-701 road between Playa Blanca and las Salinas de Janubio. The access track is rocky and you’ll need good shoes to climb down to the pools to be rewarded by swimming in clear, turquoise water.
31.
Eat seafood in Lanzarote
The seafood in Lanzarote is outstanding and inexpensive, much of it locally caught by the fishing boats that work from different ports. All around the island you’ll find seafood restaurants, overlooking a rocky shore or Chiringuita style on a sandy beach, where you can dine with a view of the ocean.
Prawns in garlic butter in Lanzarote
The waiter will recite a list of the fresh fish of the day but if you’re not sure what to order, a paradilla or platter for two is a good option, giving you a selection of fish and seafood.
King Prawns in Lanzarote
Typical specialities are Sancocho (fish stew), pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus) gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns in sizzling oil) and lapas (limpets) grilled with green Mojo sauce.

32. Cesar Manrique wind toys
Driving around the island, we came across unusual sculptures on some of the roundabouts and learned that these juguetes del viento or “wind toys” were designed by artist Cesar Manrique. As they catch the trade winds from the north, the sculptures move and turn to catch the eye, in a reference to the windmills that were once common on Lanzarote.
Cesar Manrique wind toy at Arrieta
The Cesar Manrique wind toys can be found at the following locations:
Arrieta – near the garage on the roundabout into town
Tahiche – on the roundabout closest to the Cesar Manrique Foundation Volcano House
Tahiche – in the gardens of the Cesar Manrique Foundation Volcano House, which can only be viewed as part of a visit.
Lanzarote airport – on the roundabout as you exit the airport
Montaña Blanca – the roundabout on the road from Tías to San Bartolomé, where you turn off for Montaña Blanca.

Plan your trip to Lanzarote
For a comprehensive but compact guidebook covering all you need to know about Lanzarote, I recommend the Lanzarote Marco Polo pocket guide.
This is the guidebook that I used while were were there and it gives lots of background information and insider tips on the best things to see, including a free touring app with maps to download and use offline.
Where to stay in Lanzarote
We stayed at two delightful places during our 10 day trip to Lanzarote

Slide 1 of 4
Cueva de los Verdes is a yawning, 1km-long chasm, which is the most spectacular segment of an almost 8km-long lava tube left behind by an eruption that occurred 5000 years ago. As the lava ploughed down towards the sea, the top layers cooled and formed a roof, beneath which the liquid magma continued to slither until the eruption exhausted itself. Guided tours, lasting about 45 minutes and available in English, take place every 30 minutes or so.

xTuL3p — Google review
Fantastic tour inside a lava cave 7 km long. Although you only walk about 1 km i was thrilled to see the beauty inside. You can only visit the tour with a guide so you might have to wait around 20 minutes before it starts. Inside it can be huge, but also very cramped, so if you are in a bad condition of have claustofoby, don’t do it. The tourguide speaks spanish and english, and quite good. Good explanation. Come early because it can be very busy!!!

Worth a visit. It takes about 50 minutes, a round trip down the cave. A hidden Lanzarote gem.

Let yourself fall in love with the beaches of the newly named “island” of the Canary archipelago, La Graciosa, and enjoy this beach of white sand and crystal clear waters that will give you the most desired rest. Take the adventure of discovering this small corner located to the north of Lanzarote by getting on a boat that will take you to one of the smallest islands in the Atlantic ocean.
hotelesdunas.com: The Best Beaches in the Canary Islands | Dunas Hotels & Resorts
La Graciosa is popularly known as the “eighth island,” and although it is neither the most popular nor the most mentioned of the archipelago, its charm is unrivaled. Its 29 square km are full of paradisiacal beaches, turquoise waters and incredible natural monuments. All this is wrapped in an aura of introspection and spirituality that invites you to recite poetry to Mother Nature.
ferryhopper: Which is the Best Canary Island for your Vacation
Probably one of my favourite canary island in terms of beauty, not many tourists and the picture perfect views. What a great place to visit. Boat ride from Lanzarote is about 20min with stunning views. I would highly recommend spending a day here, you’ll not regret it.
Alfred Aquino — Google review
For those who are going in the future or who have already been one of the less popular islands, but definitely worth visiting because of the beauty of the beaches and peace from the crowds of tourists.
Lukasz Taborski — Google review
I drove around the island with rented bike and camped there for one night with my tent for one night. Really memorable experience and I would really recommend that. You should book a place for your tent as soon as you know that you are going to camp there. Those places are really fully booked in the summer!

Playa de las Conchas lies on the northwest coast of the little island of La Graciosa, five kilometres along a gravel road from the ferry departure point back to Lanzarote. Its almost white sand stretches for 600 metres beside shallows the colour of turquoise. Reaching a maximum width of around 100 metres, Playa de las Conchas is surrounded by the red-tinted foothills of the volcano Montana Bermeja.

You’ll find it on the islet of La Graciosa, which is a quick ferry trip from Lanzarote’s north coast. Playa de las Conchas retains its virgin beauty due to its remoteness. After the ferry ride, you’ll cycle for about 20 minutes or get there via a 4×4 taxi.
Lelongweekend.com: Most Beautiful Beaches in Lanzarote
Amazing beach with only few people on it. You get there easily on the bike from the harbor in 20 minutes. Or you take a taxi for 15 euro. But definitely a place to see while on Graciosa…
Martin Hrab?lek — Google review
A short (but not easy) bike ride from the port, or a nice walk (count about 1h40 if you don’t stop on the way). It’s worth going there just for the vistas, but know that you can’t swim there, it’s too dangerous.

Am I in the Caribbean?!?!? This place is just mind blowing!!! This kind of waters, in Europe, you can only find in Sardinia and Formentera!!! And HERE!!! Totally worth the one hour bike ride to see this beauty! Wild, few people, remote. It also has views to the rest of the Chinajo archipelago, fantastisch landscape. A place to dream <3

Absolutely very beautiful garden. I have never seen so many cactus in one place, nor have I ever giant cactus, some from as far as Mexico, Brazil etc. The garden has a café, toilets, an old windmill worth going up the stairs to see it. The garden is so beautiful and serene, you should plan to spend at least 2 to 3 hours there.
Writing Reflex — Google review
Super cute garden, you learn about the different types of cactus around the island and you take nice photos. However the garden is small and I think the ticket is overpriced. It was nice and I enjoyed it but you can skip it as the cactus are around the island in gardens or in the nature

One Lanzarote attraction that is often overlooked is the Lanzarote Aquarium, based in costa Teguise this place is a lovely way to spend a few hours looking at all the marine life including sharks which you can actually swim with on the swim with sharks Lanzarote excursion!. This is the only Lanzarote Aquarium on the island and ideal if you are staying in Costa Teguise or have a car and touring the different resorts.
excursionslanzarote.com: The Aquarium of Lanzarote | Excursions Lanzarote
Well, this is the largest aquarium located in the Canary Islands. Here you can see hundreds of different and unique marine species in 33 different environments. You can also see sharks swimming both backward and forward in the central tank and underwater tunnel.

It was so well set out. The tanks were huge and so clean. The shark tunnel was great. We had good views of the fish and turtles. Would recommend this aquarium.
Alison Golightly — Google review
If your looking to spend sometime exploring the island then I recommend you give the Lanzarote Aquarium a go. They have an ecological view rather than just for profit. I was especially pleased to see they help injured sea turtles. I spent sometime looking at the huge tank that has fish, turtles and giant stingray, so relaxing. I recommend that you take time to have a good look rather than pass by.
Robert Hughes — Google review
Not a large aquarium but still worth a visit.
We spent about an hour here which was time enough to see all the exhibits. It is quite a small aquarium and costs 15 euros per adult which felt just a little pricey. The black tip sharks are small but still quite impressive. Overall it would probably suit adults with young kids more than adults on their own.

Sizable waterpark with long slides, along with paintball, kids’ go-karts & an eatery.
Slide 1 of 6
Situated in the town of Costa Teguise, little over ten minutes away from the capital of Lanzarote by car, this complex boasts facilities for the whole family, as, together with different sized slides, rivers navigable with floats and ball pools, there are relaxation areas for adults, such as a pool with a sun deck and a hydromassage bathtub. What’s more, it also boasts the only indoor paintball court on the island, offering different group competitions, from team duels to the most original forms of play, such as flag capture and “all against all”. The water park supplies players with all necessary equipment—suits, weapons and paint balls, etc.

Do not bring younger children.
Park is okay.
Better than most reviews lead you to believe.
Slides are fun.
Staff are too strict though. That was my biggest grudge. When your trying to help your 6 year old on a slide, they isolate you completely.
There’s a rough enough concrete surface in places,
Staff stupidly strict. No common sense.
Gary Mc Donagh — Google review
I have been to siam park in tenerife so this park was rather disappointing. I had read reviews about the staff being miserable and rude but every staff member i spoke to was very friendly, polite and helpful. I personally wouldnt spend the €26 to get in again. I imagine its better for younger kids but for adults not so much. The slide hurts your back going down because of the connection between the sections, didnt seem to be enough floats for the rides either and it just has that unloved feel, a bit of paint here and there would make a big difference. Food was very nice and reasonably priced.
Nicole Walker — Google review
Park was okay but was the worst so far as my visit there.
The pizza to hard to bite and the hotdogs with VERY cheap sausage. Fries too dry. Hot chocolate size of a shot.

Paintings by Spanish artists in Manrique’s studio-home & garden built into an old lava flow.
Slide 1 of 3
Spectacular place. A fabulous insight into how Cesar Manrique lived and enjoyed life from his house containing lots of exhibition pieces and information about his life. This place is very well set out and you build a picture of this great modern artist as you move about his home. I absolutely love his ethos and belief in the connection to nature to find what is beautiful wherever you are and create it into further beauty. He absolutely did this with his creations and local materials and landscape.
This exhibition v his other house gives you an insight into the more hedonistic side of him. The only insight I couldn’t get a grasp on was whether this side was a feature of his earlier life or whether it was just not portrayed at his other house. He created such amazing entertainment spaces that I just stared at and longed for!
The exhibition contains lots of interesting photos and magazine articles, as well as audio clips (with English subtitles).
I was totally absorbed for the 60-90 mis we were here and so wanted some of his furniture, design in my own home. It’s amazing some of the design of the lava cut out rooms he created.
Worth getting a combo ticket for Euros 17 (Instead of 10 Euros each) and visit both houses.
Sue Vogt-Skard — Google review
We hired bikes in Teguise and cycled to the foundation. Fantastic and cultural place to visit. Great view into the life of Cèsar Manrique. Lots of areas to explore and plenty of art. €10 each,Would have paid extra to dip in the pool if we had the option. Fantastic design, beautiful views and cactus gardens. Would highly recommend to all the culture vultures out there. Bathrooms on site, small snack shop, not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
Not so Plain — Google review
One of the best 60’s houses I have ever visited. This is a must for anyone who loves architecture and who loves design. It is in perfect condition, a time capsule which encaptures the personality and intentions of the artist himself.

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Animal park with bird & sea lion shows, cowboy lasso displays, Gold Mine, pony rides & splash zone.
Slide 1 of 5
If you fancy getting in the water and experience swimming with some of the habitats at this Lanzarote zoo then you 100% want to book the swim with sea lions experience here you get to work with the trainers and get to know Brutus and the family as they swim alongside you and you can stroke and play with them and get lost in a magical world. Again this experience needs to be booked in advance as there are very limited spaces but when you book it includes everything you get for the full day out at Rancho Texas.
excursionslanzarote.com: Rancho Texas Park Lanzarote day tickets | Excursions Lanzarote
Just outside of town you will find Rancho Texas, a Texan themed water park and zoo with live animal shows. This activity will take up almost a full day, so if you are planning on visiting, keep that in mind. Your best bet is to check out the zoo in the morning, while the weather is still cool and in the afternoon head on over to the water park.
MAKESPAIN: Puerto del Carmen City Guide
A very beautiful zoo!
Yes, we (two adults + baby) paid 60€ + 30€ for photos with dolphins. Considering that the transfer was included, this is a fair price.
BUT: the zoo was absolutely clean and well maintained. It is very manageable in size and not huge. 10000 steps we still managed.
The shows were great and very informative. The animals also seemed to enjoy the shows. Even if the price seems high for one or the other, we were very happy to pay it! The photo with the dolphins was an absolute highlight!
This is not self-evident, you read another rating for an Ozeanium from me 😉
The water park was “nice” to look at, because unfortunately too cold. All in all, it was still a wonderful day trip for us as a family, which we can only recommend!
Very important to take the shows;)
Marek D. — Google review
Super nice activity for everyone, the animals are well kept and they seem healthy. It is absolutely worth the price, especially for the dolphins show and sea lion exhibition. The thing I appreciated most was that both during the show and in the park there were always reminders about how we should be more responsible for the environment. I absolutely suggest it!
Maria Funghini — Google review
At first I thought 30€ is a lot for the ticket but at the end of the day I realized it’s totally worth it. It’s definitely a full day visit ! You take a walk around the zoo, definitely visit all of the animal shows they offer, the dolphins and sea lions were exceptionally good. And once you’re done with that, grab some food at the restaurant (reasonable prices) and go to the pool. I found it pretty funny that a “zoo” has a water park but it was fun. You can get a key to the lockers at the souvenir shop for 2€, there is plenty of chair where you can lay down.. so don’t forget your swimwear and have a lovely day!

Stephanie Smart — Google review
Great place to visit, I recommend a guided tour as a bus gives a greater vantage point.
The demonstration on steam and fire is awesome. It gets very busy so an early start is recommended. Think about sensible footwear too the ground can be hot. You can get coffee and cake in the cafe. The guided tours can tell you about the history
Robert Hughes — Google review
Amazing natural park that allows you to see the effects of the eruptions that happened at the beginning of the 18th century.
The tours will take place in a bus. Its recommended to come early in the morning as the parking areas get easily full.
You will need to pay for the entrance.
Loved this wild place. Amazing contrasts of green lake, blue waves, red rocks and black beach
Tereza Kasalova — Google review
Really nice, peaceful black beach. The sand is obviously much coarser than standard sand so don’t be expecting to sunbathe etc. The views are spectacular and the weather was good too! Only downside is there is no car park from the southern side so we ended up parking on the roadside and walking along the road to the beach.

Such a lovely atmosphere at the Marina and we went on market day which gave it even more charm. Well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back again,loved it there.

A shopping centre by the beautiful Rubicon harbour. Not many shops, couple of clothes shops, a Hiper Dino supermarket, tiny kids play area. Really good value cafe though, lots cheaper than any on the Marina. Also has a brilliant crepe van outside. €2.50 for a Nutella and Strawberry crepe. Yum bargain.

Is this small island worth visiting? If you have more time and are looking for something else, buy a speed boat cruise. It is only 15 minutes from Corralejo (2 km) and you will be on a moon island. Raw landscape, no roads with paths only, no inhabitants. The highest point of the Caldera de la Montaña (127m), 14 km of coastline and lots of lagoons and absolute peace. In a few hours you can get around the island and meet no more than a few people. I suggest spending a minimum of 4 hours here to explore the island a bit. Personally, I must say that the landscape of this island made a great impression on me. There is something magical here … starting with the silence of the rocks that dominate every step…
Lukasz Taborski — Google review
A must visit if staying in Fuerteventura. The island is a short hop on either a cheap (and fast) water taxi or a bigger less thrilling boat, available to book at vendors near the docks or in town centres.
The island is small and features a lovely beach, a volcano you can walk up, some exquisite little bays with gorgeous views and lots of rocky trails to explore.
Make sure to book enough time as it really flies by once you’re there, and although there is a cafe on the island, make sure to take snacks and drinks as walking through the rocky trails can get very warm.
The beach has shallow water and is great for little snorkelers (and big ones)
One word of warning, if you are planning to travel on the small water taxi speed boats, you do not get provided with a life jacket. Not really an issue for swimmers, but both my kids are young non swimmers so if the boat hit a big wave (it gets very choppy) and flipped, they would be in big trouble. The driver made sure to go slower on the way over due to our small children, but as we stuck armbands on them for the return trip, they opened the throttle and rode the waves. The kids loved the thrill ride and it made the perfect exciting end to our holiday. 🙂
Mike Gabler — Google review
Took the 10:00am boat and came back on the 2:20pm one. 4 hours were well enough to walk the entire island and hike up the mountain, we even could chill on the beach a little. Turquoise water on one side and mars landscape on the other. If you are in Fuerteventura I would recommend doing it.

Large preserved park area featuring expansive stretches of sand dunes & pristine beaches.
Slide 1 of 4
This nature park of yellow dunes stretches along the east coast for about 10km south from Corralejo; it’s also several kilometres wide, so covers a lot of territory and is excellent for hikes through sand. Breeziness also makes it popular with windsurfers and kiteboarders. The area is also known as Grandes Playas; sunloungers and umbrellas are available for hire in front of the two (eyesore) luxury hotels.
Lonely Planet: Fuerteventura travel
Beautiful national park bordering the south side of corralejo Town down along the east coast for about 5 miles to red mountain.
Beautiful beaches large dunes reaching 5 and 6 stories high.
Interesting part for me are the little brown shell/ stone like objects you will find scattered I’m the sand with little half inch holes. Turns out they are little egg sacks that have been petrified from a long since extinct pre historic wasp.

Visited on Easter weekend and had an amazing time! The place was very busy but the queue for slides moved quickly. Great variety of slides and the lifeguards/staff were very friendly and attentive. We found the place very clean. We enjoyed the dark cave and rapid river. We paid the extra 5 euros each for the rings, just beware they might go walkies if you don’t keep an eye on them!
Sam C — Google review
We had an amazing day at the park! The water was warmer than expected and the place was really quiet so there were no queues. It’s a shame that there aren’t more rings for use at each ride (without the need to hire them at an extra €5 each) as that wasn’t obvious from the website, but we were extremely lucky and didn’t have to wait for anything! The kids thought it was a fantastic way to spend a day!

Located in the northern zone, the beaches of Cotillo are the most famous and spectacular in the area, and they include Playa de los Lagos and Playa de la Concha, which are practically connected, with crystalline waters and soft sand that won’t stick to your feet. Want to have views of the Faro del Tostón lighthouse?. In that case, we recommend going to Playa de los Charcos, whose waters are clearer than the previous beaches and is a true paradise for sun worshippers.

El Cotillo is on the north-west coast and is about a 25 minute drive from Corralejo (or a 40 minute bus ride on the number 8 bus). The beaches of El Cotillo include the lovely lagoons to the north of the village and the more rugged beaches to the south. The lagoons have calm safe water to swim in and lots of little beaches and areas to sunbath in.

A lovely beach with natural lagoons. The coast line is quite rugged in parts however there are still plenty of sandy parts to sun bathe and the area has the typical Fuerteventura stone/ lava walled wind protecting “houses”. As always please pick up your litter and take it home to help protect the beauty of the area and the wildlife living there.

MUST-SEE – Best things to do in Lanzarote
Everyone has its own taste and favorites, it is not easy to identify the top locations. These top 3 are the places that gave me the most emotions during my trip. My opinion is that they are to top things to do in Lanzarote.
1. Walk around and inside a volcano
What is is & Why I love it
I completed many walks on the island. But my absolute favorite is actually one of the easiest and (sadly busiest) ones: Montana Cuervo. Located in the Lanzarote Los Volcanes Natural Park (with surrounds Timanfaya), is it easily accessed by road. You first walk facing the whole volcano, with great views of a well-preserved cone. Around you is lava in many shapes. Signs help you understand the landscapes around you and the geological history of the volcano. Then the path allows you to circle it as well as enter inside from one side which has collapsed.
My favorite Volcano in Lanzarote.
Tips
Plan 1 to 2 hour, depending on how much of the tour you do and how many pictures you take 🙂 There is no shade, so bring water and wear good shoes. If you don’t want to drive, excursions depart from all the resort-towns, on a volcano tour that include the first third of this walk (the best part). Check out program and book.
2. Explore la Graciosa island with no roads
What is is & Why I love it
La Graciosa is a small island Located North of Lanzarote. You access it by ferry and there are not roads at all, just tracks in the sand. So you explore it either on foot or with one of the 4WD taxis. Contrary to Lanzarote it is covered by white sand. But it also have a few volcanoes. The colours are stunning and you can enjoy different landscapes: Beaches, volcanoes and basalt columns. Even the ferry ride is fascinating with great views of the Famara cliffs of North Lanzarote. (See my article about La Graciosa Lanzarote for more photos)
Tips
I recommend taking the first ferry in the morning to avoid the crowds who come for a day at the beaches. Ferries depart from Orzola. Note that for people staying in Playa Blanca it is quite a drive to get all the way to the North (1h20min drive) 2 companies proposes ferries from Lanzarote to La Graciosa. Check out the departures.
Another option if you don’t rent a car. is to join a day out sailing on a catamaran around la Graciosa – Check out program
3. Go on a cactus frenzy
What is is & Why I love it
A garden filled with cacti!!!! yeah!!! I really love those funny and varied plants. This is my favorite of all the best places to visit in Lanzarote. The Cactus Garden is the work of famous architect and artist Cesar Manrique. He imagined how the transform this ancient rofera (a quarry) into a display of the most beautiful cactaceae flowers from all over the world. It has around 1500 specimens of 450 different species representing the 5 continents. (see my Cactus Garden article for more photos)
Tips
Visit at opening or late afternoon if you want a less crowded experience. If you don’t want to rent a car, you can join a Lanzarote excursion from all major towns, which cover several locations created by César Manrique. The tour include the Cactus Garden. Check out program.
SCENIC LANDSCAPES – Best places in Lanzarote
4. Get up to THE Viewpoint
The most famous viewpoint in Lanzarote is Mirador del Rio. It is considered one of the best places in Lanzarote. Located in the North of the island, on the Famara Cliffs, this ancient military based was modified by César Manrique and camouflaged into the rock. It offers grand views of the cliffs and La Graciosa island. If you don’t want to drive, it is also included in the César Manrique day trip
5. Watch the waves crashing at Los Hervideros
One of my favorite landscapes on Lanzarote was at Los Hervideros. I really enjoyed the mix of turquoise water, dark basalt columns and the small red volcanic hill behind. I just sat there to watch. It was the perfect mix for my taste. A path has been set up to explore those amazing cliffs and even see below one of the arches. This is a fun and easy short walk.
It is located on the West Coast, South of Timanfaya National Park and the views are best at high tide, where maybe you will see the waves crashing. If you don’t want to drive, it can be combined with a visit to the famous Timanfaya National Park. Check out program.
6. Admire the colors at the salt pans
I have always loved salt pans, the shapes, the colours and the small white cones of salt. On the west coast of Lanzarote, you can fin the Janubios Salinas. In that amazing landscape, it is quite a sight!
7. Enjoy the reflections on the beach at sunset
It is well known, that one of the best places to see sunset in Lanzarote is at Famara Beach. And where I saw that the conditions were going to be good, I jumped in the car and headed there. I was not disappointed! The large beach has reflection of the impressive Famara cliffs hit by the setting sun. It is one fo the best photography locations in Lanzarote with silhouette of surfers and light plays. But you won’t be the only photographer around.

VOLCANO LAND – What to see in Lanzarote
If you come to Lanzarote, you come to see volcanoes and other volcanic features. This is quite fascinating. Below are some of my favorite experiences in Lanzarote:
8. Sit back and take it all in as your ride inside Timanfaya
The most famous activity in Lanzarote is the coach tour inside Timanfaya National Park (see my Timanfaya guide). Located on the west, it is one of the best parts of the island, the most scenic. It is entirely made up of volcanic soil. There are not many ways to experience it. The main one is the coach tour through the one road in the park. You can’t get out of the bus so as to protect the park, but you get to see some of the most unique views you could imagine. It is like visiting another planet! The area is also called Fire Mountains Lanzarote.
If you don’t want to drive, half-day tours take you from all the resort towns, to experience Timanfaya. Check out program.
9. Watch to heat of Earth
Along with the coach tour, you get to stop by the restaurant of the park where they carry out small experiments to show you the heat under the earth.
10. Be impressed by the size of a Volcanic Bomb
Another great place to see in Lanzarote is Montana Colorada (the colorful mountain). It is another walk that takes you all around the volcano with signs explaining what you see. One side of the volcano is a vibrant red, hence its name. Apart for the colour, Colorada is also famous for having the biggest volcanic bomb (projected by the volcano during the eruption) on the island. It is massive. Sadly there were nobody around where I walked (early morning) to I can’t give you a sense of scale.
If you don’t want to drive, the excursions that takes you to Montana Cuervo (#1), also takes you on the first quarter of this one to see the bomb. Check out program and book.
11. Feel vertigo in a lava tube
This picture was taken in Cueva de los Verdes, in the North of the island. Jesus Soto set up lights in the lava tunnel to create a fascinating experience. I am not going to say too much, because I risk spoiling the surprise. But I was very impressed by the experience at the end!

CESAR MANRIQUE’s work – Lanzarote Points of Interest
Lanzarote is not only a nature wonder, but also a great place to appreciate architecture that integrates with Nature. Thanks to César Manrique, you have some fo the best places to visit in Lanzarote. Below are a few examples:
12. Be frustrated not to be able to swim in one of the most inviting swimming pools
I think this was one of the most frustrating things in Lanzarote. This swimming pool in Jameos des Agua is so inviting!!!! Don’t you think? And I love water 🙂 In this place, César Manrique transformed part of a long lava tunnel which had collapsed in several location. There is an underground lake, restaurants, and amphitheater… If you don’t want to rent a car, you can join a Lanzarote excursion from all major towns, which cover several locations created by César Manrique, including Jameos. Check out program.
13. Search for white crabs
Also in Jameos del Agua, the natural underground lake inside the tunnel section which has not collapsed is home to small white crabs. YOU can sit on the side and notice these tiny crabs.
14. Get lost in a (small) labyrinth house
One of my favorite places imagined by César Manrique but designed by Jesus Soto. It is a labyrinth house inside an old quarry: LagOmar. I love how every caves, holes and shapes are used and transformed. It used to be the home of Omar Sharif.
BEACH TIME – Places to visit in Lanzarote
Of course, many people also come to Lanzarote for the beaches. It does not offer the dreamy white sand beaches of other canary islands, but it has some scenic and enjoyable ones. You can check my complete list of the best beaches in Lanzarote here.
15. Get a boat ride to Papagayo
One of the most famous places in Lanzarote is Papagayo beach. Located on the South Coast, it is the most ancient part of the island. The small cove has a beautiful shape and emerald waters. There is no paved roads to get there, only a very bumpy track (where you are normally not allowed to go with rental cars). The other options are to walk from Playa Blanca to Papagayo (along other beaches) which is a great walk or take the Waterbus from Playa Blanca (get tickets)
16. Socialize in Playa Blanca
Of course, many people also come to Lanzarote to lay on the beach and enjoy the sun. This is not my thing, but I still checked out all the beaches in the resort towns at Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. The one that seemed to most inviting to me was Dorada Beach in Playa Blanca.
17. Relax in a Lagoon
Looking for something different with calm shallow waters? To the North if the island, not far from Orzola, is the Caleton Blanco Lagoon. Dark rocks, white sand and turquoise water to soak and relax.
TASTE – What to do in Lanzarote
Because of the harsh condition and volcanic soil, not much can grow on Lanzarote. So most of what you are going to eat is imported. But you can still taste great stuff.
18. Learn about Wine Growing in Lanzarote (and taste it!)
Yes, there are vineyards in Lanzarote. This is quite surprising, but by using picon on the soil to capture humidity and creating small rock walls to protect from the wind, they are able to grown grapes and make wine! You can visit several Bodega on the island. The most famous is La Geria (check out a tour there). But my favorite was El Grifo with the small museum and a more intimate setting for tasting.
19. Enjoy seafood tapas by the water
Another way to taste Lanzarote is to escape to a small fishing village out of the beaten path, and savour seafood right by the water 🙂
FUN activities in Lanzarote
With all these resorts and ‘relax holiday style’ visitors, Lanzarote has also developed fun and adrenaline activities for the whole family.
20. Dive in a Yellow Submarine
One of them is climbing inside a yellow submarine and going for a 1hour dive by Puerto Calero. You wills see 2 ship wrecks and many fishes. Sadly, there are diver feeding the fish so that you see more of them so it is not completely natural, but the diving in a submarine was quite cool! They even have small screens for each passenger where you can follow the dive with outside cameras and metrics. It is run by Submarine Safaris.
It is fun for kids and for adults, which makes it one of the best things to do in Lanzarote for families.
21. Go buggy driving off road
In all the canary islands, they offer buggy experiences to be able to discover the islands off road. It is a lot of fun and giving access to different views. Check out this 3h-tour in Tandem buggy.
Lanzarote OFF THE BEATEN PATH – Hidden gems
I also recommend to take side roads, go off road and walk as much as possible to see special or unusual things in Lanzarote. The island has a lot of beautiful places to see off the beaten path. I have included all my favorites in my eBook: Explore and Photograph Lanzarote. Here is a snapshot of what you could see.

Lanzarote Island, Spain: interesting sights, how to get there, what to do, tourist life hacks
Lanzarote is the northernmost and most extraordinary and mysterious island of the Canary archipelago. Its beauty annually attracts about 1 million tourists. Lanzarote can be called the great workshop of Cesar Manrique, a native of the island, a famous artist and sculptor.
Multicolored Martian landscapes, snow-white beaches and crystal ocean waters create a special contrast. The most desirable place to visit is the Timanfaya fire-breathing nature reserve.
Volcanic ash proved to be excellent soil for vineyard cultivation. The vines are planted in miraculous volcanic holes and protected from the wind with a semicircular stone masonry. Local wine has its own special taste due to the abundance of trace elements in the volcanic soil and climate.
Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) is a land of fire-breathing mountains with dramatic landscapes on 5 hectares. The reserve owes its gray-orange landscapes to a six-year series of powerful volcanic eruptions from 1730 to 1736. The most popular route to get acquainted with the land of fire-breathing mountains is Volkanes.
The House Museum of Cesar Manrique (Fundacion Cesar Manrique) in Tahiche is the stronghold and embodiment of the artist’s creative nature. He adored these volcanic sites, equipping them into a stunning home with pools in hardened black lava, cacti, palm trees and contrasting snow-white trim. Here you can also see numerous works of the master.
The Lagomar Museum in Nazaret is an original object that was created for Omar Cherif by the artist Cesar Manrique, but the actor quickly lost it at cards. An exotic villa, organically integrated into the volcano, is a must-see in Lanzarote.
Fortress of Santa Barba (Castillo de Santa Barbara) is located in the outskirts of Teguise. She is located on the top of the Gaunapai volcano in the midst of unearthly red landscapes. From here you can see most of the island, visit the museum and walk along the path around the crater.

Some historical features of the island of Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the oldest island of the Canaries, named after the Italian Lancelotto Malocello, who arrived here in 1312. The local Guanches called their island Titerogagaet “the one that burns.”
Lanzarote got its current appearance thanks to powerful volcanic eruptions that took place about 300 years ago. Numerous volcanoes did not subside from 1730 to 1736, burying many villages and destroying many lives. According to legend, in order to stop the disaster, people erected a cross, and the elements stopped at its foot.
In Lanzarote, you cannot drink or cook with water or taps. To do this, you need to purchase water in the supermarket to avoid digestive troubles.
Arrecife is the capital of the island, where you can make good shopping. The main shopping artery is Calle Real, where everything from souvenirs to branded clothing is sold. You can also walk along the streets of Calle Leon y Castillo and Paseo Maritimo.
In terms of shopping, the city of Teguise will be of interest, where every Sunday a fair of local craftsmen is held. To buy wine, head to La Geria. The local wine is spicy and strong due to the minerals from the volcanic soil.
What to buy in Lanzarote:
White wines – Malvasia and Moscatel;
Handicrafts in Teguise;
Pottery in Juan Brito Hijo in Arresimo;
Goat cheese.

Summary of the article
Tourists do not fly to Lanzarote for the sake of beaches and entertainment. The island, which is located less than 140 kilometers from the African continent, attracts with hundreds of craters of extinct volcanoes, a fantastic and mysterious landscape.
Lanzarote impresses with the play of light. A unique phenomenon occurs due to the combination of contrasting landscapes – snow-white sand and dark lava.
A hot wind brings hot and dry air from the African Sahara to the island. The sun hides behind a haze, the streets are covered with sand. This phenomenon happens in Lanzarote only a few times a year.
Although civilization reached the island, it did not even try to destroy its originality. Skyscrapers are not built in Lanzarote, low hotels do not obscure the mysterious landscapes, houses are built in the traditional Canarian style. Despite this, the island has excellent infrastructure. Lanzarote hotels are in no way inferior to European establishments. Tourists can easily stay in inexpensive apartments or rent an exclusive room in a presentable hotel with a spa.
The coastline of the island stretches for only 150 kilometers. There are not as many beaches in Lanzarote as in Tenerife or Gran Canaria, but they are all well-maintained and well-groomed, admission is free.
The main city of Lanzarote – Arrecife is located on the site of a village that appeared in the XIV century. In it, both the indigenous inhabitants of the island and the pirates hid from the hurricane wind. Passenger liners enter Arrecife. Tourists visit the resort to visit the ancient fortresses, relax on the Playa del Reducto beach.
Costa Teguise grew up in Lanzarote at the end of the last century. The resort town was built according to the project of the famous Cesar Manrique. Its center is made in the form of a fishing village, where restaurants and cafes work, festivals are held. Courts, golf courses, a water park are equipped for guests of Lanzarote, diving and surfing are taught in special centers.
In a small town Puerto Calero rich and noble people rest, they are attracted to this resort of Lanzarote by the silence, the absence of noisy nightclubs. Rich yachts moor at the parking lot, and walks along the ocean begin from it. The museum is interesting to get acquainted with the marine inhabitants of the archipelago – dolphins and whales.
In Playa Blanca , which is located in the south of Lanzarote, families with children and young people who love diving and surfing feel great. The resort attracts with wild beaches with white sand and a yacht club from which walks are organized. On the rocky cape of this city of Lanzarote, you can see the tower Castillos Colorados , which was built as an outpost in the 18th century and has been well preserved to this day.

volcano craters;
caves;
natural parks;
tunnels.
Renting a car, you can drive around the entire small island, take pictures against the backdrop of the raging ocean and the unusual landscape of Lanzarote. A desert covered with lava from basalt, a sea of craters rises before the eyes of tourists in the National Park Timanfaya (el parque de Timanfaya – Spanish), covering an area of more than 50 km. After the last volcanic eruption, which happened in Lanzarote at the beginning of the 19th century, the land was not cultivated here, and people decided to preserve the harsh and beautiful landscapes without changing anything. Paths are laid along the territory of Timanfaya Park, along which tourists are taken by bus and on a camel. On the tour you can see the emerald-colored lake, which is located at the bottom of one of the craters.
Lanzarote National Park (El parque nacional de lanzarote – Spanish) borders the La Geria region, where grapes are grown, from the berries of which they make muscatel and malvasia. The vine grows well in holes broken in warm volcanic lava, gives a rich harvest. In the south of Lanzarote, near the village of El Gofro, there is a volcano crater resembling an amphitheatre. At its foot there is a lagoon up to 10 meters deep. It strikes with a bright green color, which is given by algae that grow rapidly. Against the background of the blue sky and black volcanic sand, the lagoon looks unrealistically beautiful. No wonder near the lake Charco de los Clicos A movie was made about life on earth a million years ago.
The real miracle of Lanzarote, created by nature, are caves Hameos del Agua (la cueva hameos-del-agua), riddled with underground passages. One of them, Jameo Grande, designed by Cesar Manrique, impresses with a real tropical garden and an artificial lake.
The unique monument of the island Cueva de los Verdes tunnel (túnel de la cueva de los verdes) appeared during the eruption of Monte Corona on Lanzarote thousands of years ago. The burning lava that rushed down at great speed formed spacious galleries and narrow corridors. A two-tiered cave stretches from the crater to the ocean shore. All passageways are illuminated. Through them, tourists enter a real concert hall with excellent acoustics, which is created by lava walls.
The fortress called Castillo de San Gabriel (El castillo de san gabriel) is located on a small island, which is connected by an elegant bridge with the capital of Lanzarote. The entrance to the fortification, built in the 16th century, is guarded by 2 cannons. Inside there is a museum of archeology.
One of the main attractions of the island of Lanzarote is the castle, located on a ledge of lava. The building is built of rectangular stones. Small turrets decorating Castillo de San José , made in the typical architectural style of Lanzarote.
The museum dedicated to César Manrique houses his rich collection of paintings by Picasso. The white walls of the building are amazingly combined with the dark basalt that is present in the interior. The artist, who was born and worked in Lanzarote, devoted a considerable part of his life to the creation of this piece of architecture. Cactus Park was also created on the island by Cesar Manrique and fits perfectly into the natural landscape. A staircase leads down from the gate, decorated with wrought iron. On the territory of this amazing park of Lanzarote, over 1000 species of cacti have been collected: giant and miniature; smooth and prickly; fluffy and colorful. The project was created on the basis of Japanese gardens using elements of painting and sculpture. Jardin de Cactus is located on the site of a volcano and is shaped like a crater.
From the observation deck Mirador del Rio , similar to the bow of a sea ship, you can see the low mountains of Lanzarote, and lava fields, and the endless ocean, and the neighboring island of Gracios.
Rancho Texas Park is designed in the style of the prairies of the Wild West. The nature here is beautiful, the lakes are filled with blue water. Crocodiles, huge turtles, raccoons, lizards live in natural conditions. At the ranch, you can meet cowboys, watch performances of sea lions, contemplate the flights of birds of prey.
Children of all ages on the island of Lanzarote are attracted by the water park, which is open in Costa Teguise. There are a large number of different slides, lakes are equipped. For extreme sportsmen, there is a downhill skiing, there are entertainments for both kids and the elderly.
Lansorote has flights from Madrid and Barcelona. From other European countries there is no direct air connection to it.

A flight leaves from Domodedovo to Tenerife every week. From the Spanish city of Cadiz on Lanzarote, a ferry goes by sea.

Where does this data come from?
Weather data for Corralejo was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in October (e.g., October 1, October 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

October | Umeda.
ru
Vacation in October is a great way to bring summer back. Good roads, the ocean, interesting children’s museums and hectares of national parks – all this awaits you in sunny California. And, of course, Disneyland, which is impossible to ignore.
If you want to touch world history and make a pilgrimage to holy places, then you should go to Israel. After walking around Jerusalem, you can lie down on the beaches of Eilat or improve your health at the Dead Sea resorts.
It is best to introduce your child to the Middle Ages and wander through the labyrinths of ancient castles in Belgium. In addition, Brussels is the birthplace of comics and French fries.
Windsurfers and divers can fly to the Canary Islands. While one of the parents will help the child build sand castles, the second will be able to enjoy the beautiful winds of Fuerteventura.
Connoisseurs of spa treatments and thalassotherapy will find their happiness in Tunisia, because in local salons for body wraps and baths they use the freshest mud straight from the bottom of the sea.
Morocco is an ideal place for those who miss the Arabian flavor, want to get lost in the lanes of the medina, meet the sunrise over the Sahara and get to know the life of the Berber villages.
In Hong Kong, you will see that the skyscrapers of megacities can be harmoniously integrated into the surrounding nature, and moving sidewalks do not interfere with the 30-kilometer trail around the parks of the island. The Czech Republic attracts tourists with beautiful cities, a rich excursion program and, of course, mineral springs. You can walk around Prague, see several castles and go to drink mineral water in Karlovy Vary.
October
ISRAEL, Eilat
The bus ride from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to one of the most popular resorts in Israel – Eilat – takes about 5 hours. The main advantage of this place is 12 km of beautiful beaches with developed infrastructure and good hotels.
TUNISIA, Hammamet
One of the main resorts of Tunisia – Hammamet – is located about 65 km from the capital. This is a typical tourist city: crowds of vacationers, intrusive sellers, streets of souvenir shops.
But since October is the end of the season, it can be quite nice around this time. In October, the water is already invigorating in the morning, but the risk of sunburn is minimal.
MOROCCO, Agadir
One of the most popular resorts in Morocco is Agadir. The weather here is comfortable almost all year round, and the water temperature in October does not drop below +21 °C. The six-kilometer golden beach is considered the main attraction of this place.
CANARY ISLANDS, Fuerteventura
The resort of Caleta de Fusto is the most protected from the waves and all-penetrating wind. In the village itself there is an artificial gently sloping beach, ideal for families with small children. The most beautiful beach of the island is the coast of Corralejo, south of the popular large resort of Playa de Carralejo. Since 1982, this beach has been declared a nature reserve, and any construction is prohibited on it.
HONG KONG Full Moon and Harvest Festival
This holiday is celebrated in Hong Kong on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (sometimes falling in October). The holiday is usually celebrated in parks where families with children come. In the evenings, you can admire the numerous colorful lanterns.
ISRAEL
Israel is rich in religious monuments and places of pilgrimage. It is worth visiting Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born, and Nazareth, the place where he spent his childhood. And, of course, regardless of religion, you need to visit Jerusalem.
MOROCCO, Erfoud Palm Festival
In October, the small town of Erfoud in northern Morocco hosts the Palm Festival to celebrate the date harvest. These days, the town in the center of the Sahara flourishes: musical performances, dances, a fashion show, during which the queen of dates is chosen. The festival is the perfect place to experience Moroccan traditions and cuisine.
BELGIUM, a procession in honor of St. Gertrude
Since 1276 in the Belgian city of Nivelles, on the first Saturday and Sunday of October, St. Gertrude is celebrated. The relics of the saint are taken out of the church and walk with them a 15-kilometer route around the city. This kind of procession is an integral part of the Belgian culture.
USA, Disneyland
Being with a child in California, of course, you can not ignore Disneyland in Anaheim. Today it is not just a park with dozens of attractions, but a huge resort complex with restaurants, shops, hotels and spas.
MOROCCO, Fez-Marrakesh motor rally
Europeans rarely visit these places and even less often organized tourist groups, but it is here that you can see the “non-tourist” desert in all its glory. Along the way, you will see the Franciscan monastery, Meriem workshop (where you can buy a great Berber carpet to take home), green oases, typical Berber ksars (fortresses for one wealthy family) and ksuras (several houses surrounded by a high wall).
HONG KONG Victoria Peak 9 funicular0003
It is still considered the steepest climb in the world – 373 m with a slope of up to 30° with a maximum speed of 20 km/h. In the car, when lifting, it is better to take places on the right in the direction of travel – this way it will be more convenient to photograph skyscrapers that “fall” at an angle of almost 45 °.
TUNISIA, Red Lizard train
Between the small towns of Metlawi and Tamerza stretches a mountain range where phosphates are mined. Thanks to this, a railway was laid in the mountains. In the 1960s a local entrepreneur collected several old wagons and launched a kind of tourist attraction. The train leaves almost every morning and travels through narrow canyons for almost 2 hours.
USA, “lunar” craters in Idaho
This unique natural phenomenon arose about 200 years ago as a result of a volcanic eruption – lava froze into bizarre columns, caves, space craters. Going to this picturesque place, remember that it is colder here than on the ocean coast, and at night the temperature can drop to +4 °C.
TUNISIA, Sahara Desert
You can go to the desert as part of an organized, usually two-day excursion, or get to Douz on your own and go to the sands from there. The easiest way is to drive a rented car, then you can visit a couple of oases along the way. A causeway will take you to the dry salt lake of Chott el Jerid, and possibly to Tozeur, where there is a park dedicated to world history.
ISRAEL, Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is one of the most amazing bodies of water on the planet. The water in it contains almost the entire periodic table, which gives it unique healing properties. The solar radiation here is gentle, but you can swim a maximum of three times a day and no longer than 20 minutes. Be sure to take a shower afterwards.
CZECH REPUBLIC, Karlovy Vary
This resort is famous for its mineral springs and picturesque surroundings. In total, 12 springs come to the surface here, the water in which, although similar in its mineral composition, differs in temperature, and therefore has a different effect on the body.
CANARY ISLANDS Windsurfing on Fuerteventura
In Spanish, fuerte means strong and el viento means wind. So it’s no wonder that water-wind sports are so common in Fuerteventura. The largest center on the island, Pro Center Rene Egil, is located on the Sotavento beach. Smaller centers are scattered along the coast.
HONG KONG, Hong Kong Trail
Despite the world’s highest population density and astronomical land value, one third of Hong Kong Island is covered by six national parks, four of which are linked by the 30 km Hong Kong Trail. The trail starts at Victoria Peak and passes through forests along the largest artificial lake in the country.
CZECH REPUBLIC, cycling around Lake Lipno
Not far from Český Krumlov, the picturesque Lipno Lake is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts. If it’s cool for sailing and windsurfing, you can always take a tour around the lake on a mountain bike.
USA, Getty Villa
At the entrance to the museum, cards with special tasks for children are issued. For example, you need to find out who is pinching the leg of Hercules (one of the plots on an antique vase), or find out what happened to the statue of Zeus, or what the lion lost. Answers are given on the back. Your kid will be able to decorate the “antique” vase with washable felt-tip pens and play shadow theater on his own.
CZECH REPUBLIC, Historical village of arts and crafts
30 km from Prague, in the botanical complex Botanikus, there is a historic village of arts and crafts. Here the child will be able to get acquainted with the customs and traditions of the Middle Ages, learn how to cook soap, sculpt clay and make candles. The most inquisitive will be able to see how oil is produced, baskets are woven and paper is made.
CANARY ISLANDS, Oasis Park
Oasis Park is a botanical garden with a zoo. The ticket price includes shows with parrots, fur seals, snakes. In addition, one of the largest collections of cacti in the world is collected here.
BELGIUM
There are more medieval castles in Belgium than in any other country in the world, and each of them attracts tourists with something of its own. For example, Beley Castle is famous for its library, Bouillon, the oldest castle-fortress in the country, impresses with labyrinths and huge vaulted halls, and in the garden around Freyr Castle there is an orange tree that is over 350 years old.

Explore The Best Beaches In Playa Blanca Lanzarote
Share Now:
Playa Blanca is one of the most popular resorts on the Canary Island of Lanzarote. It first sprung into life during the late 1980’s, transforming what was once a small and sleepy fishing village into a modern tourist destination boasting a fine selection of accommodation, including some of the best hotels and villas in Lanzarote.
Playa Blanca
Weather and climate has played a key role in Playa Blanca’s emergence – as the resort is located right in the south of the island, which means it enjoys more sunshine hours and higher temperatures as a result. This is even more salient during the winter months – when tourists can encounter a marked difference in microclimate between Playa Blanca and say Costa Teguise in the north.
Another important factor is that Playa Blanca is home to some of the best beaches on Lanzarote – with three superb sets of sand to explore within the resort, along with five more spectacular coves and bays at nearby Papagayo, which is just a ten minute stroll away from the centre of the town.
Many of the most exclusive holiday villas in Playa Blanca are located close to the delightful beach of Playa Flamingo, which is backed by colourful and well planted gardens and which is also sheltered by a giant volcanic stone sea break. This makes the beach here ideal for young families and swimmers. There are also lots of sun loungers and umbrellas for hire, along with plenty of good bars and restaurants within a short walk of the beach.
Take a stroll from Playa Flamingo past the harbour, where ferries depart for the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura throughout the day, and you soon come to the smaller and more central beach of Playa Blanca – from which the town takes its name. This is a much tinier stretch of sand than Playa Flamingo but remains very popular with both locals and tourists alike.
A further five minute stroll along the seafront promenade then brings you to Playa Dorada, which is the largest and most popular beach in the resort. Like Playa Flamingo there are plenty of decent facilities here along with bars and shops in close proximity. This is also an excellent choice for families with young children as the beach shelves gently into the water.
The real jewel in the crown though are the beaches at Papagayo – as unlike the man made playas in the resorts these are all natural and offer loads of scope for exploring, as each beach has its own identity and character. There are however few facilities here so it is sensible to take your own food, water and shade with you if you are planning a day out.
Playa Blanca is also located in close proximity to the Timanfaya National Park, which is the main visitor attraction on Lanzarote. This is the spot where volcanoes erupted hundreds of years ago and transformed much of the south of the island into a lunar wasteland. An amazing sight which shouldn’t be missed if, you are planning on taking a break in Playa Blanca.
Playa Blanca Beaches
If you ever have the opportunity to see an aerial photograph of southern
Lanzarote, it is clear to see that Playa Blanca is actually sitting in the heart
of a large natural bay almost 9km across.
Although this area of coastline features a number of beaches of varying size and
quality, most visitors to Playa Blanca sadly never explore beyond the main town
beach from which the resort takes in name.
The white beach, at 40m long is actually quite small, and during summer weekends
can become quite crowded at times. Nevertheless, it has been awarded the
internationally recognised blue flag for its facilities, cleanliness, and water
quality.
The Playa Flamingo beach is a few minutes walk away to the west, on the opposite
side of the port, and can be reached for the most part by the wide traffic free
promenade that joins the two halves of the resort. This beach itself is very
attractive, with fine golden white sands, and is very popular with families.
The third beach, Playa Dorada, at only 30m long is even smaller than Playa
Blanca, and again its fine white sands have been awarded the prestigious
European Blue Flag.
Of the two beaches I actually prefer Playa Blanca, as the beach at Playa Dorada
shelves quite steeply only a few metres offshore.
However quite conversely, Playa Dorada is actually more popular with local
residents with many choosing it for an early morning swim before breakfast.
Although much larger than all of the other beaches put together, the beach at
Playa de Las Coloradas is quite remote and offers visitors no facilities or
services whatsoever.
Due to its remoteness however, Playa de Las Coloradas is actually becoming quite
popular with naturists, and now features on a number of their recommended web
sites.
The final beach worth a mention here are those around the Papagayo headland at
the extreme eastern end of the bay, some 4.1/2 miles from the centre of Playa
Blanca.
Papagayo is now a specially protected area, and future building and development
works along this part of the coast is now totally prohibited.
The half dozen or so beaches that make up Papagayo, are widely considered by
many, to be some of the best beaches in the whole of Spain.
However actually getting there from Playa Blanca can be quite difficult as the
road, although considered to be “safe”, is extremely rough and bumpy and is best
approached in a 4×4.
As a more practical alternative a “sea taxi” also operates from the harbour at
Playa Blanca throughout the day, taking around 1/2 an hour to make the short
journey.
As with Playa de Las Coloradas, the beaches around Papagayo are particularly
popular with nudists.

Spain. Lanzarote. Playa Blanca – the city of white houses
Hello Lanzarote! So I got to the island where I wanted to go a long time ago. Since we sailed from Fuerteventura by boat, the first point was the town of Playa Blanca, where the port is located.
Like many other resorts, it used to be a fishing village. Now about 12 thousand people live here and many hotels have been built. Literally, the name translates as “white beach”, but the city itself is almost completely snow-white: I did not see colored houses either during walks or from above when we climbed the volcano.
Here you can compare prices for hotels from Booking, Hotels, Expedia and other sites.
Playa Blanca at the foot of the mountain
Beaches
Landscaped beaches and wildlife alternate here. The light sand is imported, but it is laid out in a thick layer, so sometimes you won’t even think that just a few meters away there are fragments of lava and a dark surface.
Wildlife
Flamingo Beach
Such a contrast.
Clear water
Of course, black sand is also visible in the photo above, but still the beach can hardly be called dark. However, the closer to the edge, the more volcanic stones – both on the surface and under water. But Flamingo Beach is very comfortable: the water is clean, there are breakwaters and fences from the wind, sun loungers, umbrellas, there are many cute cafes nearby.
View from above
The whole fence is decorated with locks
Walking along the lava fragments is also interesting.

Walks in Playa Blanca
The city is very pretty. Like many others on the volcanic islands, it is decorated with black lava chips and pebbles. Fences, paths, entire houses, benches and much more are built from volcanic rock.
Vegetation – mainly cacti
Stones – also part of the decor

Playa Blanca has many complexes consisting of detached houses. They are located on a common territory, they can have a pool for all vacationers, their own shops, animation, but at the same time there are no noisy neighbors behind the wall.

General Review
I liked Playa Blanca! And there is a good beach, and wildlife, and the opportunity to climb a mountain and admire it all from above, and excellent hotels for different tastes and budgets, and the ability to get on a boat to a neighboring island or easily take a bus to Arrecife. An excellent balance of “equipped” and colorful. Well, a snow-white city is always unusual.
