El Mirador de Haria, spectacular northern views.

 

El Mirador de Haria, spectacular northern views.



I mean come on... just look at this view... it's absolutely incredible. 


To the north of the island, at some point on the narrow and winding road that descends to the town of Haría, a viewpoint of the same name awaits, among palm trees and dragon trees, ready to be discovered.

Also known as Mirador de Malpaso, in relation to the valley that welcomes it, its prominence was won in 1966, when the Canarian artist Cesar Manrique was commissioned to design, at the top of the massif, a little house that would serve as a resting place for hikers.



The viewpoint, safe from the proliferation of large tourist developments of the 70s, offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the imposing Volcán de La Corona, and the friendly town of Haría. This impressive place is considered by many to be the most diverse area of ​​the island in geological, agrarian, and landscape terms.

Nowadays, the Mirador de Haria is an Interpretation Center for the Fauna and Flora of the region. It also contains a bit of agricultural culture too!

The Mirador de Haria has two wide viewing platforms (with glass bottoms) from which it is possible to see both the Haría Valley and the Temisa Valley.


I mean look at this! I'm sure you're going to love it here.


The Mirador de Haria is located on the road en route to the town of Haria (coming from Los Valles and Las Nieves). You can also check out the route on the Lanzarote App or Google Maps (we won't get offended).  


So go out there and explore!

Playa del Risco, a unique beach.

Image
Picture this, you are sunbathing on a tranquil beach, you have your favorite book on your lap, and you suddenly feel the urge to stop reading and stare in front of you. You witness a picturesque scene of a beautiful archipelago of small islands. You identify La Graciosa, and you can somewhat see Montaña Clara… where are you?  You are at Playa del Risco.  Playa del Risco is a 500-meter beach sheltered by the spectacular Risco de Famara (cliff of Famara). It is of the most isolated and quiet beaches on the island. A fantastic place to be on your own, with a friend or two, and even a whole family! This wonderful beach is located on the coast of Yé, sheltered by the glorious Risco de Famara. Playa del Risco is only accessible by boat, or by hiking down the trail known as the Camino de Los Gracioseros (a trail that deserves a blog post in its own right). Rest assured, the (at times difficult) trail is very well worth the effort. The panoramic view of the Archipiélago Chinijo (the small isla

Barranco del Quiquere (Puerto del Carmen's nudists' haven)

Image
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 Atl

El Grifo’s museum and its wine

Image
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 to t
