Like every year, the Fiesta or Noche de San Juan in Lanzarote welcomes summer. A mythical celebration in which the beaches of Lanzarote are filled with bonfires, popular barbecue pits, fireworks, concerts, and events for all ages. It is, without a doubt, one of the most magical and fun nights of the year on the island of volcanoes. The Night of San Juan in Lanzarote Every June 23 the Night of San Juan is celebrated in Lanzarote and thousands of bonfires adorn the island. A magical night in which fun and superstition go hand in hand. Such was its importance that, until a few years ago, San Juan was a non-working day. And according to our elders, before the arrival of tourism to Lanzarote, back in the 60s, it was tried to have the work of the field finished to be able to celebrate this night of partying with family and friends. The bonfire ritual In ancient times, many cultures paid tribute to the summer solstice. Time of the year from which the days would get shorter (or weaker) until r...

Have you tasted Lanzarote’s one-of-a-kind wine yet? Whether you have already or not, I highly recommend visiting El Grifo’s Museo del Vino (Wine Museum). You’re going to love this unique experience.  (P.S. This blog is not sponsored or anything like that, I only recommend what I have enjoyed myself). Museo del Vino de El Grifo (El Grifo’s wine museum) is in one of the oldest wineries in Lanzarote. Built on volcanic rock, in 1775, the building showcases Lanzarote’s pure and most traditional architecture containing thick volcanic rock walls and roofed with wooden beams, that came mostly from the scrapping of ships. By itself, the building is a place to contemplate and enjoy! The Lanzarote wine museum is located among the vineyards of the El Grifo area, on the road from the Monumento al Campesino to Uga, in the town of Masdache. It occupies the old wineries, built on the volcanic lava of the 18th-century eruption and dating from 1775. Access from the road is indicated by the monument ...

Have you ever been to a beach cleanup? In Lanzarote? With people from around the world? While having the time of your life? June 12th, 2021, we had the wonderful opportunity to clean La Graciosa’s coasts. More than 100 volunteers traveled with smiles on their faces ready to clean our neighboring island. Lanzarote Limpia is a wonderful non-profit organization that has carried out numerous cleaning raids in Lanzarote and other neighboring islands in recent years. A loving community of hardworking and kind people, that care about the environment and love to have fun! Keeping Canary Island's beaches clean is one of the main objectives of the Lanzarote Limpia Association, formerly known as Famara Limpia. It is a non-profit organization that has been carrying out environmental conservation activities for more than seven years. It was started by a group of people who were tired of seeing contaminated and polluted beaches on the island. Lanzarote Limpia was born because of the lamentable s...

Touring a volcano is something different that can make you feel part of Lanzarote's unique environment. The Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote is a restricted area, however, right at its limit, you find the Caldera Blanca trail, a unique place where you can enjoy the most impressive crater you will have ever seen. Timanfaya is an area which’s access is not easy. The visit to the Montañas del Fuego (Mountains of Fire) is limited to a 50-minute joyride. That is why to hike in Lanzarote for free, it is necessary to leave those areas declared as a National Park to find equally magical and impressive places such as the volcano of La Caldereta and Caldera Blanca. The Caldera Blanca trail takes you to the top of a monogenic volcano (the product of a single volcanic eruption) whose crater measures a whopping 1,200 meters in diameter. Once you reach the top, you are simply speechless. It is impressive and that is how you can verify it with each one you may have met during the journey. The...

Man-made interventions in a natural landscape can sometimes leave very strange, yet eye-boggling sceneries. La Rofera de Teseguite just happens to be one lovely example of this phenomenon.  La Rofera de Teseguite is near the Barranco de las Piletas, close to the town of Guatiza, right on the LZ-404 road from Guatiza to Teseguite. in the north of Lanzarote. From this intriguing area, the Rofe (which is volcanic sand with coarse and rough grains, used as the top layer of cultivated land.) The rofe was extracted, for many years, and the remains of the extraction have left a strange landscape.  The rofe is, for example, that layer of volcanic ash that we see when there are vines within a semicircle of stones, a very typical way of agriculture here. This layer can retain atmospheric moisture and protect plants from the sun, in addition to preventing uninvited weeds. On the slope of the volcanic cone, you can see these interesting remains of the extraction. The rofe is extracted fro...

Did you know that the indigenous people of Lanzarote (the Mahos) worshiped the universe from sacred mountains while probably performing rituals?  Well, one of these beautiful examples is Montaña de Guenia. Guenia is an area of Lanzarote, belonging to the municipality of Teguise, intermediately between Guatiza and El Mojón, and whose main characteristic is an especially important mountain, specifically called Montaña de Guenia, which, in turn, has a perfectly developed and well-known caldera (crater) such as the Caldera de Guenia. I cannot say for sure, but it is greatly plausible that the mountain was named after the area, due to its orographic relevance and because, as has recently been demonstrated, it must have been the site of religious practices or rituals of the Mahos.  Guenia, in the middle of the 19th century, was an almost depopulated village "as a result of the aridity of the soil that produces almost nothing due to the lack of rainfall." However, a century earlier,...

Crystal clear, turquoise-colored waters with spectacular views of Lobos Island and Fuerteventura, where you can bathe while being completely nude… welcome to your next favorite spot!  The quality of the seabed of the Barranco del Quíquere is outstanding, highlighting the exquisite palette of blue tones. Take advantage of your quick dip in the sea by bringing along goggles and a snorkel, to contemplate its rich biodiversity. It should also be noted that the Atlantic at this latitude is always calm (except for the very few days a year when the southern storm is in Lanzarote). To get comfortable you will have to find some nook of volcanic stone. The Barranco del Quíquere is one of the most suggestive nudist strongholds in Lanzarote. Located a few kilometers south of Puerto del Carmen, it is made up of a set of natural volcanic stone coves, on the slopes of small cliffs that protect them from the wind. The atmosphere is extremely peaceful and accompanies the landscape. The big and blue...
