Lanzarote Costa Teguise, a place to return to

Historically, Villa de Teguise has been the cultural and political epicenter of this island region, serving as the capital of Lanzarote from the 15th century until 1852, when Arrecife took its place. Villa de Teguise also hosts one of the most popular Sunday markets in the Canary Islands, with over four hundred stalls filling the streets every week.

This locality is situated on the eastern side of the island, a few kilometers north of the capital, Arrecife. It is famous for its beautiful golden sandy beaches and calm waters, such as Playa de las Cucharas, which is very popular among windsurfing enthusiasts due to its excellent wind conditions. Other beaches like Playa Bastián and Playa del Jablillo offer calmer waters, ideal for families and snorkeling.

In addition to its famous golf course, Costa Teguise offers a variety of sports and recreational activities. Visitors can enjoy diving centers, surf and windsurf schools. Cycling and hiking are also popular, taking advantage of the scenic routes that surround the area.

Costa Teguise hosts several festivals and events throughout the year, including music festivals and cultural events that highlight local traditions and music.

The Costa Teguise community is deeply committed to sustainable development. This is reflected in careful urban planning and extensive green areas aimed at preserving the natural environment and providing spaces for the recreation of residents and tourists..

This combination of natural beauty, extensive recreational facilities, and a strong commitment to sustainability makes Costa Teguise an attractive place for those interested in more environmentally friendly tourism.

The tranquil Caleta de Famara, embraced by the impressive cliff that bears its name, is a paradise for surfing and hang gliding enthusiasts. The majesty of this corner of the island leaves an indelible mark on those who visit.

North of Lanzarote lies the island of La Graciosa, the largest of the Chinijo Archipelago, which also includes the islets of Alegranza, Montaña Clara, and the Roques del Este and Oeste. This region is part of the Marine-Terrestrial Natural Park of the Chinijo Archipelago, the first to be designated as such by the Government of the Canary Islands.

La Graciosa is a destination for travelers seeking authentic experiences, enjoying nature, tranquility, and secluded beaches. With a flat topography, it features four volcanic groups, with Las Agujas being the most prominent elevation at 226 meters above sea level. The population of around 600 inhabitants resides in the picturesque village of Caleta del Sebo.

This haven of serenity is one of the few places in Europe where roads are not paved, a fact that perhaps contributes to its mysterious beauty, with its beaches and volcanic mountains that change appearance throughout the day.
