On our last day, we had to leave our wonderful hosts to take our plane. But before that, we decided to have lunch at Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. We first walked the road next to the sea, and came across a workout competition. Then we walked until the Castillo San Gabriel, which gives a … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Last day – Arrecife

After our chilling day at Playa Famara and Puerto del Carmen, we went back to our AirBnB, where our hosts advised us to go to the LagOmar house, not far in the village. It was late, but we wanted to try it out. Some parts of the the house-museum were already closed to the public, … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 7 – LagOmar House

After the wind and kite-surfers of Playa Famara, it was time to chill at the beach resort of Puerto del Carmen, and it's hords of tourists! It was too bad that a huge hotel was currently built just behind the beach. However, contrary to the north coast, it was sunny and hot out there, and … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 7 – Puerto del Carmen

On our last entire day on the island, after wandering through vineyards and fields of La Gería the previous day, we decided to give a second chance to the northern beaches. We wanted to go to Playa Famara, a windswept scenery and paradise of kite-surfers. Once again in Lanzarote, the landscape was astonishing. A large … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 7 – Playa Famara

La Gería, as you can learn at the educational Monumento al Campesino, is an area at the centre of the island where people make wine on the volcanic soil. The landscape is particularly different from usual vineyards. It is so difficult to make it grow there that they invented their own methods: each seedling is … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 6 – La Gería

After our challenging walks in the island's marked relief, the Playa Bajo Risco or the volcano Caldera Blanca, we decided to take it easy on our 6th day in Lanzarote. On the morning, we headed to the Monumento Al Campesino, next to San Bartolomé. Built by César Manrique, the place is made of many rooms, … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 6 – Monumento al Campesino

After a relaxing morning, chilling at the Fundación César Manrique, we waited a few hours before taking our car to climb one of many volcanos of Lanzarote : the Caldera Blanca! It takes approximately 3 hours to walk through the lava fields, climb the volcano and come back. Since we noticed it was dark at … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 5 – Caldera Blanca

After a few days in Lanzarote, we had the opportunity to see many César Manrique's creations such as El Jardín de Los Cactus, or Los Jameos del Agua. Our hosts told us that we should also go to the Fundacion César Manrique, situated in the former house of the island’s artist built on el Malpaís … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 5 – Fundación César Manrique

After our intense day at the Playa Bajo Risco, we just needed to rest in a quiet, peaceful place. Los Jameos del Agua fitted perfectly with our needs. The "jameos" are lava tunnels formed when the volcanos erupted. The different temperatures of lava created some kind of bubbles or caves on their way to the … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 4 – Los Jameos del Agua

After relaxing in the South at the Playa del Pozo, we decided to start a new day going to another beach, this time at the North, accessible by a more... athletic path... In fact, the Playa Bajo Risco is situated at the bottom of the cliffs, and accessible only by walk from a parking above … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 4 – Playa Bajo Risco
