Why everyone is falling in love with Lanzarote (And You Will Too!)
Lanzarote—a land of fire, wind, and waves.
A place where volcanic landscapes meet turquoise waters, where ancient history and modern artistry collide, and where every twist in the road reveals another jaw-dropping adventure.
Join us as we uncover the island’s most spectacular sights, from the lava-scorched peaks of Timanfaya to the white-sand coves of Caletón Blanco, from César Manrique’s artistic legacy to the black salt pans of Janubio.
🏰 TEGUISE: WALKING THROUGH HISTORY
Lanzarote’s former capital. With its cobbled streets, colonial mansions, and lively Sunday market, this town feels like stepping into a time capsule. Overlooking it all is the mighty Castillo de Santa Bárbara, a fortress that once guarded against Barbary pirate attacks—because, believe it or not, Lanzarote was once a prime target for swashbuckling raiders!
🏖️ PLAYA MUJERES & THE SECRET BEACHES
Craving paradise? Playa Mujeres, nestled in the Papagayo Nature Reserve, is an untouched stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear water. A stone’s throw away, the black sands of Playa Quemada offer a striking contrast, a beach where local fishermen still bring in the day’s catch.
🏄♂️ FAMARA & LA SANTA: SURFERS’ PARADISE
Time to chase some waves at Famara, the surfing capital of Lanzarote.
Towering cliffs form a breathtaking backdrop as surfers glide over the Atlantic rollers.
Just down the coast, La Santa is a hub for extreme sports—where pro surfers and triathletes train in the island’s wildest conditions.
We watch a big waves surfer get to grips with the surf at La Santa.
🚶♂️ PUERTO DEL CARMEN: COASTAL WALKS WITH A VIEW
From Puerto del Carmen, we embark on two epic coastal walks. The first takes us to Puerto Calero, a sleek marina where luxury yachts bob in the sun.
The second, more ambitious trek leads to Arrecife, Lanzarote’s modern capital, blending beachside strolls with urban vibes.
🏛️ FUNDACIÓN CÉSAR MANRIQUE: THE ARTIST WHO SHAPED LANZAROTE
No trip to Lanzarote is complete without visiting Fundación César Manrique, the home of the island’s most visionary artist.
Built into volcanic bubbles, this house-museum is a masterpiece of nature and architecture fused together, proving that art doesn’t have to fight the landscape—it can embrace it.
🕳️ CUEVA DE LOS VERDES: A LAVA TUNNEL WITH A SECRET
Deep beneath Lanzarote, Cueva de los Verdes is an ancient lava tunnel with an eerie beauty.
Used as a hideout from pirates in centuries past, the cave also hides an optical illusion so mind-blowing that we can’t reveal it here—you’ll just have to see it for yourself!
🏝️ ARRIETA & CALETÓN BLANCO: CHARMING COASTAL ESCAPES
Arrieta, a laid-back fishing village, is a dreamy spot for seafood lovers.
Not far away, Caletón Blanco stuns visitors with its sugar-white sand and aquamarine lagoons, a rare sight on this volcanic island.
🌋 TIMANFAYA & MONTAÑAS DEL FUEGO: LANZAROTE’S FIERY HEART
Now, the real adventure begins. Timanfaya National Park is a Martian landscape shaped by the massive eruptions of 1730-1736, an event that buried villages and reshaped the island forever.
🧂 JANUBIO SALT PANS & THE BLACK SAND BEACH
The Janubio salt flats are a mesmerizing patchwork of pink, white, and golden pools, where salt has been harvested for centuries.
Just next door lies Playa de Janubio, a striking black sand beach, formed entirely by the island’s volcanic legacy.
🍷 LANZAROTE’S WINE REGION: VOLCANIC VINES & UNEXPECTED FLAVORS
Wine? On a volcanic island? You bet!
In the La Geria region, grapevines are planted in craters of black volcanic ash, creating one of the most unique vineyard landscapes in the world.
The result? Wines that are fresh, slightly salty, and unlike anything you’ve ever tasted.
🌊 EL GOLFO: A GREEN LAGOON FROM ANOTHER WORLD
At El Golfo, nature shows off with the Lago Verde, a shockingly green lagoon set against black volcanic cliffs and red earth. It’s the alien landscape of your wildest dreams—and a stunning way to see the wild Atlantic crash onto the shores and rocks.
🔥 Lanzarote is more than just an island—it’s a living, breathing work of art.
From its wild coastlines to its lava-scorched mountains, from hidden beaches to volcanic vineyards, this journey proves that every corner of Lanzarote holds a story waiting to be told.
