EL GOLFO

As you come into the village, park on the right and walk to see the sea volcano with a green lagoon. The village has a number of restaurants that serve the catch of the day looking out to the black beach. Drive along the coast towards Femés and see Los Hervideros where the sea crashes up through blow holes.

FEMÉS

This tiny Spanish village located at the top of the mountains between Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca has a fantastic view over Playa Blanca and Fuerteventura. We suggest that you dine out at one of the restaurants on the balcony, whilst watching the sunset.

GUATIZA

The César Manrique cactus gardens are found here, just look for the windmill and huge plastic cactus! This non-resort village also has a couple of good tapas bars and a supermarket to visit.

HARÍA

The village has a craft market each Saturday morning in the main square. There are a number of tapas bars and restaurants to rest at. The area is very picturesque and green, or yellow and purple depending on the time of year. The wild flowers look like a carpet over the mountains. There are over 1,000 palm trees as the villagers’ plant 2 for every boy and 1 for every girl born there.

FAMARA

Stunning sand dunes, surf, incredible cliffs and authentic local restaurants.

LA GERIA

This is the wine region of Lanzarote. Drive through the lava fields that have been sculpted with Zocos to keep the wind from spoiling the vines, it looks like craters on the moon. There are numerous Bodegas you can stop at to taste the local produce.

LA SANTA

Loved by surfers but not for beginners, this area has ferocious waves with a rocky coastline, great to watch and not for the faint hearted. There is a large sports resort here that numerous sports athletes and teams have stayed at to train.

ÓRZOLA

At the far Northern point of Lanzarote is a small fishing village with a number of restaurants, the ferry to La Graciosa leaves from here. Great fish restaurants, with a spectacular drive on either approach road, from Haria – mirador and from Arrieta – numerous white sand beaches.

PAPAGAYO

The best beaches on the island are hidden within the national park area. Dropping down from Femés the beaches are signposted on the first main roundabout. There is a small charge to drive your car along the dirt roads with tracks leading off to several beaches. There are no facilities so take food and drink to enjoy whilst overlooking Fuerteventura and watching the boat trips from Marina Rubicon and Puerto Calero anchor off the bays before heading back.

TEGUISE

On a Sunday, the old capital is swamped by tourists for the large market. The market has hundreds of stalls and is very popular. If you visit on any other day you will find a lovely quiet village with cobbled squares and individual shops and restaurants.

TIMANFAYA MOUNTAINS

The scenery is absolutely stunning, you can choose to drive through the area and visit the free volcanic centre but we would advise to pay and visit the Montañas del Fuego (Timanfaya), where you can stand and feel the heat of the only live volcano on the island. There is a restaurant complete with a volcano BBQ!
