Carretera Montañas del Fuego, 2, 35560 Tinajo, Las Palmas, Spain

This is a must visit if your on the island. Amazing scenery and the rangers showed us some cool experiments using the heat from the volcano. The views driving through the park were amazing. There is a restaurant at the top if your hungry. Would recommend driving through the lava fields as well, some of the views are breathtaking.

Wasn’t expecting much but very worth the visit (arriving in our own hire car at 1550 amd not aware that we’d be bussed around the park). Unexpectedly we’re thrown onto the last bus of the day which left at 1600.

The bus tour took us through the wildest of environments with regular breathtaking photo op stops.

End of the tour we got the wonderful closeup demos of geothermal heat beneath our feet. Would definitely return (with better photo equipment as taking photos through green coach windows with an iPhone doesn’t quite yield the best results! :D

This is a museum not to be confused with the bus tour even though they are linked. We spent about an hour here before we went on the bus tour. Most of the exhibits are explained in Spanish,English and German. Of course there is a shop selling the normal tourist products. The museum has a small cinema which shows a 40 minute film. Unfortunately we missed it and a volcano simulation.  Entrance is free.

Well worth a visit. Very unique and fascinating place. Try making your own way there if you can because if you go as part of a tour you don't seem to get long enough to walk around and enjoy yourself. I've now been twice on different tour's and each time we've only had 45 minutes max to enjoy the place before we've had to head back to the coach. It would be nice to spend at least half a day there just to see everything. Definitely a gem of the island.

This amazing fusion of volcanic rock, cave, architecture and plant life is well worth a visit.

Take your time and allow the environment to soak into you.

We took our time, had a coffee at the little cafe in the cave, listened to the birds flying overhead in the cave roof, looked at the little crabs in the amazingly clear water and soaked up the amazing way the white plaster elements blend with the rock and plant life.

Don’t let the price of the tickets put you off. This is well well worth the visit.

We visited in the later part of the day when there were less people and no your busses. Best enjoyed when it is quiet.

Interesting place to visit but overall not very exciting.

Visited this place as part of an excursion, but I believe the entry was €10 which I think is moderately fair for what you see.

Past the entrance you then take the stairs down into the cave, which has a restaurant at the bottom from which you get some stunning views of the cave itself.

Plenty of opportunities for picturesque selfies if that’s what floats your boat, especially at the swimming pool at the rear end.

Before you leave there is another bar at the end (€2.50 for a bottle of coke) and after that there is the souvenir shop.

Jameos del Agua

Beautiful location, a rather picturesque beach. Turquoise water, volcanic rock where you can see its lava-like former form, waves that jump up meters high and a clear view of Órzola and nearby mountains. Also plenty of rock wind-breaks and an abandoned boat. 👍Great spot.

Great beach to come and play with the kids.
Very calm water. Bring some shoes for in the water though. There are a lot of rocks and we Europeans have soft feet 😅

The most beautiful beach in Lanzarote, hidden gem! Not too busy. Very private but safe. Perfect for kids

Playa Caleton Blanco

Calle Punta de Papagayo, 13, 35580 Yaiza, Las Palmas, Spain

Absolutely stunning beach! 3€ entry but it's so worth it! Probably the best one on the island. Plus there is a lovely restaurant just on top of the cliff which offers great food and drinks and a spectacular view of the ocean. I do suggest arriving early as there were long queues to get in after 4pm.

It was magnificent beach! Though getting there is quite difficult- only by car and the road is 4km long and not asfalt, quite bumpy road. Going in to the are cost 3 euros, only card payment.  We had rent car. In the beach are there is no clothes changing room, I used the bar's toilet. We had our snacks and water with us. You can buy something from the bar/cafeteria. Other restaurant works by online booking.
You should definitely go there. We were on first week of November.

Excellent beach for everything. Swimming, snorkeling and just taking sunbath.
Eating there is other thing. There is 1 restaurant and you need to book a place there forehand. And then there is one bar. That one was without reservation, but might have line to get in.
There is no toilet and no place to change clothes. (There is toilet in the bar, none on the beach)
To get to the beach you need to drive 4 km on a bad road.

Playa de Papagayo

Sandy white beach. Beautiful to walk along in the morning coolness as the sun rises up and starts to heat the sand. Safe for swimming although no lifeguard. Can get very windy at times so if planning to stay bring a wind shield as there is only protection at either end of the beach from the wind using the rock, cliff face.

Gorgeous beach reached on the Papagayo Toll Road for €3. Turn right at the first junction where it is signed. Two carparks to choose from. The right one is a little easier to manoeuvre through. The only facility is a drink seller with a van/or scooter. Gorgeous sandy beach, can be quite breezy. There is little shelter, so bring your own but make sure you secure it properly. Water is very clear. A few fish to see snorkelling and some rocks at the right end. The right side is more for everyone, where I think the further left it gets more popular with nudistas. Chilled out spot and well worth a visit. A favourite on the island.

You have to pay 3€ to enter and drive through unpaved road for a while, but the beach is great and the water was totally clear; you could see the sea floor while floating 2 or 3 meters above it.

Get some swimming/driving glasses and enjoy the school of fishes by swimming like 30m away from the shore.

Playa Mujeres

Av. Garafía, 35544 Guatiza, Las Palmas, Spain

Loved visiting the cactus gardens. Loads of pathways to explore, cafe for drinks and snacks, plenty of great pictures to take. Would love to come back and see the cactus flowers in full bloom.
€6.50 per person. Bathrooms on site, plenty of parking.
Can spend around 1.5 hours walking round.

We came here today as part of a bigger excursion so could only stay 45 minutes so ended up rushing the last few minutes. There were so many different cacti and succulents to see with a cafe  gift shop and windmill which we didn't get to see.
We will definitely be back and will stay longer next time. Would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely very beautiful garden. I have never seen so many cactus in one place, nor have I ever giant cactus, some from as far as Mexico, Brazil etc. The garden has a café, toilets, an old windmill worth going up the stairs to see it. The garden is so beautiful and serene, you should plan to spend at least 2 to 3 hours there.

The Cactus Garden

L'incantevole villaggio dei pescatori di Orzola è il punto di appoggio ideale per visitare alcune delle zone più belle di Lanzarote. L'ho scelto come base per poi visitare la bellissima Caleton Beach, Il Giardino dei Cactus e i Jameos del Agua.

Dopo il meritato riposo nelle spiagge cristalline del nord, è il momento di visitare il meraviglioso Parco Nazionale di Timanfaya! Ti consiglio di spenderci tutta una giornata e partire la sera alla volta della prossima meta!

Il parco nazionale di Timanfaya

Siamo arrivati al sud dell'isola. Ti consiglio di pernottare almeno una notte in uno dei tanti B&B del posto. Sosta da non perdere è la Playa de Papagayo ma - se hai più tempo - ci sono altre favolose spiagge da non perdere come Playa Mujeres!

Lanzarote ha guadagnato il titolo di isola più selvaggia delle Canarie e lo mostra con orgoglio! Meno turistica delle sue sorelle, possiede una bellezza incontrastata ma travolgente. Fatti ammaliare da spiagge cristalline, parchi naturali lunari e la...
