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!

Lanzarote – Day 7 – Playa Famara
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
Lanzarote – Day 6 – La Gería
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
Lanzarote – Day 6 – Monumento al Campesino
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.

Lanzarote – Day 5 – Caldera Blanca
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!

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.

Lanzarote – Day 4 – Los Jameos del Agua
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 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...

After visiting the entire West coast from Timanfaya to Los Hervideros, we decided to spend the rest of the day chilling at the beach.

The ideal place 🙂 You need … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 3 – Playa del Pozo
Lanzarote – Day 3 – Los Hervideros
From El Golfo, you can drive south until "Los Hervideros". This landscape, as well as most of the attractions of the island, was forged by 3 elements: fire, water and wind. You will see impressive holes into the lava cliffs, formed by the erosion, and supported by black lava walls. At the background, the Montaña … Lire la suite Lanzarote – Day 3 – Los Hervideros
