Your flight to Lanzarote takes you to the most easterly of the Canary Islands, occupied by los guanches until the 14th century. Take in the volcanic landscape of the Timanfaya National Park and the underground galleries of Cueva de los Verdes in Lanzarote.
Explore times gone by in Teguise, Lanzarote’s former capital, with its colonial palaces, picturesque plazas and Santa Bárbara Castle Museum. Discover the creations of Lanzarote’s favourite artist at the César Manrqiue Foundation, as well as Jameos de Agua and the Cactus Gardens.
For panoramic views, visit the Mirador del Rio with fabulous vistas of Lanzarote or spend a day on the beaches of Papagayo or La Graciosa. Or try windsurfing and kiteboarding on Famara beach.
Locals in Lanzarote use gofio (local flour) in many of their recipes and love their stews and fresh fish. Try goats’ cheese to start and then grouper with mojo picón (spicy sauce) with papas arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes). To wash it all down, sample some of Lanzarote’s local wines from La Geria. |
