Exploring Lanzarote

The complex of Casa Museo del Campesino y Monumento a la Fecundidad (Museum of the Farmer and the Monument to Fertility) is located at a crossroads about 2 km north of San Bartholeme. This is in the centre of the island. The complex lies between the beautiful La Geria wine region to the west and the desert region of El Jable. The site is visible from quite a distance and very easy to find thanks…

The Mirador del Rio is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the whole of the Canary Islands. It’s certainly a unique place that you won’t forget. The Mirador is located high up on the Risco de Famara escarpment, which runs from Punta Fariones, the most northerly point in Lanzarote, to just outside Teguise village, a distance of about 22 kilometers.

Lanzarote is perfect for the explorer, it’s a relatively small island with an excellent road network and good public transport.

Caleta de Famara enjoys possibly one of the longest stretches of beach on Lanzarote, curving around under the high cliffs of Risco de Famara.

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s busiest and biggest resort. Two out of every three people who visit Lanzarote stay somewhere in the resort.

Some of the best beaches in Lanzarote are found around the southern tip of Lanzarote just to the east of the Playa Blanca holiday resort. These are collectively called the Playas de Papagayo.

The Timanfaya National Park, or Montanas del Fuego (Fire Mountains) as this area is called is one of the most spectacular landscapes on earth.

The famous Jardin de Cactus was one of the last works Cesar Manrique completed on Lanzarote and apparently one of his favorites.
