Playa de Las Cucharas
Playa Bastián, located in one of the semi-urban landscapes of Costa Teguise, is one of the largest coves in the area, shielded by thick stone walls that shelter the beach from the wind. These walls, decorated with green areas, stretch across the entire beach. And when the tide is low, you can see many smooth, rounded stones on the coast known as 'callaos'. The beach offers many public services, including sun-loungers, showers, parking and even barbecue areas.
La Graciosa is one of the islands within the Chinijo archipelago, located on the north coast of Lanzarote. This protected natural area is the largest marine reserve in the European Union. La Graciosa, the eighth Canary Island, is a desert enclave in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that boasts spectacular beaches where you can relax and soak in the sun. La Laja, Las Conchas and La Cocina are just a few examples of white sand beaches bathed by the golden waters of the surrounding volcanic rocks.

A trip to Lanzarote wouldn't be complete without a visit to Timanfaya Park. The Timanfaya was declared a National Park in 1974, and forms an arid and lunar landscape with scarce vegetation. The contrasting colour and incredible volcanic scenery are what make this beautiful landscape so special: incredible lava and ash fields, deep calderas, caves formed by air bubbles, stunning lava formations and enormous craters. The park is open all year round and there are guided tours with transportation from different points. Located very close to the park is La Geria, which is also known for its volcanic landscape and its famous wine production. Without a doubt, an unmissable day trip, ideal for hiking enthusiasts and groups visiting Lanzarote with children.
César Manrique was a painter, sculptor and artist from the island of Lanzarote who combined his work with the environmental values of the Canary Islands. He searched for harmony between art and nature and was awarded the World Prize for Ecology and Tourism and the Europe Award. Many of Manrique’s masterpieces can be viewed on the island today.
The Jameos del Agua is one of the most iconic areas on the island of Lanzarote, located in the north in the municipality of Haría. The word 'jameo' refers to a geological formation produced by the collapse of a volcanic lava tube. Three of them originated from the Corona Volcano, resulting in what is known as Jameos del Agua. In this natural cave, César Manrique designed an auditorium that capitalises on the cavity’s acoustics; it is used to host all types of events and concerts. It is a place to enjoy both cultural activities and geologically rich landscapes.
This viewpoint, built by César Manrique, is 400 m high and located on the Risco de Famara. It is yet another great example of Manrique’s passion for blending art and nature, as it is a lookout point that coalesces with its volcanic rock environment. From its glass windows you can take in impressive sweeping views of the island, and you can even see La Graciosa, making it one of the best places to visit in Lanzarote.
Upon settling himself on the island, Manrique decided to build his Casa del Volcán in the centre of Lanzarote. The building, located in the municipality of Tahíche, next to Costa Teguise, was built on five volcanic bubbles and is an example of local architecture in complete harmony with the landscape. The house is now a museum and can be visited any day of the week. It exhibits two collections: one of contemporary art, made up of artists from the same generation as Manrique, and another collection of his own works. As you can see, there is a wide variety of things to do in Lanzarote. However, the one experience you can’t afford to miss is spending an unforgettable day on the island's beaches. What is the best beach in Lanzarote to enjoy water sports?
