Sandy beach, Coast

Famara Beach is one of the most beautiful, purely natural beaches in the Canary Islands. It lies on the wild west coast, surrounded on one side by the famous Famara cliffs and on the other by flat desert landscape.

Cliff, Lookout

The entire northwest coast of Lanzarote is dominated by the narrow Famara Mountains, which resemble monumental sea cliffs rather than real mountains. At their maximum height they reach up to 697 metres above sea level, making them one of the island's most impressive natural landmarks.

Island, Sandy beach

The volcanic island of La Graciosa lies about 2 km north of Lanzarote and with 29 square kilometres and only 700 permanent inhabitants, it is the smallest inhabited island in the Canaries. It only gained the status of one of the 8 main Canary Islands in 2018, until then it was administratively considered an islote, a small island. Even so, La Graciosa is not administratively a full-fledged island, as it falls under the municipality of Teguise…

Cave

The Jameos del Agua cave complex, formed by volcanic activity, is one of the main tourist attractions of Lanzarote.

National Park

Timanfaya National Park is definitely one of the most exotic landscapes in European countries.

Black sand beach, Lake, Coast

The Charco de los Clicos lagoon, playing with all the different shades of colour, often appears in cover photos and postcards from Lanzarote. This guide is no exception.

Botanical garden

The cactus garden in the village of Guatiza is another very popular tourist destination in Lanzarote.

Volcano

The Caldera Blanca volcanic crater is one of the most beautiful mountains in Lanzarote and a prime example of volcanic landscapes. At 459 m above sea level, it is not the highest, but with a crater diameter of over 1.15 km, it is by far the widest on the island.

Coast

The small fishing village of Punta Mujeres, in the north of the island, attracts tourists with its jagged lava coastline, which creates sea pools in its many mini coves. These spill over the natural lava sills in various ways, offering the chance to swim in pools of calm water with a view of the rough sea just a few metres away.
