What to see in Lanzarote in 5 days
Who would not feel the so-called ‘Lanzarote effect’ when you have 5 days to let yourself be caressed by the sun, to dive into its warm ocean and stroll on the island of a thousand volcanoes? A week in Lanzarote offers so many possibilities, and so varied, that it is exhilarating just to think about it. Visualize yourself walking among thirsty and dark landscapes product of the fury of nature, walking along golden and almost deserted beaches, or visiting the centers of art and culture that César Manrique has generously bequeathed to us. You will even have time to make an excursion to the nearby island of La Graciosa or Fuerteventura, which is also very close.
If you are willing to make the most of your 5-day vacation, take good note of the itinerary we propose. And if you do not have time for everything, you can always come back another time. And now, enjoy Lanzarote!
Timanfaya, a journey to Mars without leaving Lanzarote
The rugged textures and the palette of colours of the landscape in Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park increase the temptation to explore, either on foot or on a camel.
Cueva de los Verdes: a theatrical spectacle of light and shadow
The lights and shadows of the Cueva de los Verdes create an almost dreamlike universe where the visitor is entranced by the beauty of the rocky shapes and structures.
The Jardín de Cactus: the definitive stamp of César Manrique
Conceived as an explosion of vegetation in a former volcanic rock quarry, Lanzarote’s Jardín de Cactus is one of the spots not to be missed on this Canary Island.
The Jameos del Agua, the embrace of Nature
The Jameos del Agua are the fruit of the creativity of César Manrique, a work which allows us a glimpse into the geological wonders of inland Lanzarote.
Playa Blanca and Punta del Papagayo, a volcanic paradise in southern Lanzarote
The town makes the perfect base for visiting some of the most spectacular beaches and spots in the south of the island, which seems like another world
La Graciosa, the eighth Canary Island, forgotten by time... and tarmac
Caleta de Sebo, with its sandy streets, is the departure point from which to explore the island’s spectacular wild beaches and volcanic landscapes.
La Geria, the Canary Island wine trail
This volcanic valley, the legacy of the lava eruptions of Timanfaya, shelters the most important wine-growing region of Lanzarote, with production based mainly on the malvasia variety.
