Lanzarote is a breathtaking island that captivates every visitor. It’s the perfect destination for families, groups of friends, adventurers, and even school trips, as its offerings are irresistible and accessible to all.
The island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, home to the Timanfaya National Park—undoubtedly the region’s most exceptional natural landscape. But this small paradise has much more to explore, including iconic sights like the volcanic tubes scattered across the area. Its underground galleries offer far more than any sunbathing spot.
Gather your travel companions and hike through unique spaces like the Natural Park of Los Volcanes, El Risco de Famara, the La Corona Natural Monument, the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park and Marine Reserve, and the Valley of a Thousand Palm Trees. One of the best options is an adventure programme to explore the marine reserve by boat, snorkel, and even spot crescent-shaped vine cultivation structures.
The "white island" is undoubtedly the greatest work of César Manrique, who, as he claimed, dedicated part of his life to "turning my homeland into one of the planet’s most beautiful places, given Lanzarote’s endless possibilities." Each of his paintings, sculptures, and architectural works helped shape this true Eden.
Despite its volcanic geography, the island boasts immense landscape diversity and vibrant wildlife, creating a kaleidoscope of colours. One of the region’s most remarkable species is the jumping fungus in Uga village. It purifies water, making it drinkable in just days—completing the work started by slanted rooftops that channel rainwater into cisterns where this organism thrives.
When exploring the island, don’t miss traditional crafts like "empleita" weaving to make "gracioseros" hats from braided wicker. Another fascinating custom, tied to the island’s geological influence, is covering crops with volcanic sand ("picón") to retain nocturnal condensation moisture and prevent pests.
And of course, diving into the local cuisine is a must. "Mojo picón" elevates any dish, from "papas" (wrinkled potatoes) to sea snails. Try piquant meat with peppers and potatoes, moray eel, parrotfish, or wreckfish for an unforgettable dining experience.
The best way to uncover these wonders is with local guides, who know the region intimately and highlight hidden gems.
