- Teguise's streets come alive on Sundays, with a massive street market providing a diverse range of items and fresh fruit.
- La Graciosa is a small island in the Canary Islands off the coast of Lanzarote.
- The island has only 600 people, and no road is a perfect example of the Canary Islands' natural splendour.

The Best Places to Visit in Lanzarote
Jardin de Cactus
- One of Lanzarote's most visited attractions now is Manrique's final work of art on the island.
- There are about 4,500 cactus specimens in the garden, representing 450 species divided into 13 groups.
- The collection is still growing as new species from all five continents are gradually added.
- These include specimens from places like Tanzania, Madagascar, and Peru, in addition to Canary Island-native cacti.
- The attraction has earned the designation of Asset of Cultural Interest in the category of Historic Gardens due to the collection's impressive diversity and, of course, César Manrique's brilliant design.
- As a result, the site's cultural and ecological elements, as well as its historical worth, are now entirely preserved.
- As with all of his works, the multidimensional Lanzarote artist created the Jardin de Cactus as a whole, blending many artistic mediums like painting, sculpture, architecture, and landscaping to produce an object of unrivalled beauty.
- Modern visitors to the garden find themselves in a setting of extraordinary beauty and tranquilly, the ideal opportunity to appreciate Lanzarote's natural strength.
La Graciosa
- La Graciosa is a small island in the Canary Islands off the coast of Lanzarote.
- The island has only 600 people and no roads, a perfect example of the Canary Islands' natural splendour.
- The beaches of Lanzarote are quiet, undiscovered, and crystal clear, making them one of the island's most popular attractions.
- There are a few actual waterside eateries (most of which serve fresh fish) and plenty of scenery to explore on foot.
- La Graciosa, a little island with a total area of 29.05 km2, is the largest island in the Chinijo Archipelago and the smallest of the official Canary Islands.
- It is a volcanic paradise with immaculate white sand beaches and unpaved roads that is located northeast of Lanzarote.
- It is a remarkable setting that is a part of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Reserve and is home to many creatures and significant habitats.
Lago Verde
- Lago Verde, also known as the green Lagoon, is one of Lanzarote's natural wonders.
- Its name comes from the green colour of its waters, which is brought on by phytoplankton, various sulfurs, minerals, and the many unusual microorganisms that call this place home.
- This location is free to visit, but we must take care of it. El Charco Verde is situated on a black sand beach that, along with the green colour of the Lagoon and the sea, creates an astonishing scene full of fascinating contrasts.
- Since Green Lake is a protected area, it is completely prohibited to swim there or leave any form of trash in the region.
- Everyone is responsible for preserving our natural heritage so that future generations can continue to enjoy it.
- El Golfo, a little fishing village on Lanzarote's south coast, is just next to Lago Verde.
- Here, you can take a break, have a drink, and enjoy fresh and delectable Canarian cuisine.
- Allow yourself to be enthralled by the local flavours.
Mirador del Rio
- There is no better site to visit in Lanzarote for jaw-dropping vistas than Mirador del Rio.
- Mirador del Rio, over 400 meters tall and overlooks La Graciosa and Salinas del Rio, has big glass windows, a bustling café, and an unmissable viewing platform.
- One of the unique locations on the island of Lanzarote is the Mirador del Ro.
- Its location at the top of the 22-kilometre-long Risco de Famara mountain range offers spectacular, panoramic views of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park.
- Manrique's building is taking place simultaneously on the Salinas del Ro, which is a striking sight due to the crimson tint they provide to the surrounding area.
- The Mirador del Ro exhibits a masterful melding of architecture and Nature, with the building being essentially undetectable from the outside, as is common in the works of César Manrique, most Lanzarote's well-known artists.
- This camouflage is meant to blend the artwork into the surroundings, carefully avoiding any jarring or environmental impact.

Lanzarote: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Papas arrugadas
#Food
- Lanzarote's defining food is papas arrugadas, little Canarian potatoes with a wrinkly, black skin on every menu.
- Farmers would rush to the fields and plant their potatoes when there was a period of rain, which infrequently happens in Lanzarote's desert-like circumstances.
- The waxy papas arrugadas are typically cooked in seawater, leaving them with salt-flecked and wrinkled skin.
Mojo
#Food
- In Lanzarote eateries, red and green mojo sauce is as common as ketchup in a burger joint or mayonnaise with fries in Belgium.
- Its origins are likely traced back to Portuguese and Spanish settlers who introduced fresh ingredients from South America, with Moroccan and North African influences thrown in.
- Two bowls of Mojo sauce are routinely served to your table with your papas arrugadas or to dollop on grilled seafood and meat in most eateries.
- The green mojo sauce, also known as mojo Verde, is a mayonnaise-style sauce with a fresh flavour derived from lime, green peppers, and leafy coriander.
Gofio
#Food
- Gofio, toasted grains of barley or maize (known as gofio de millo) ground into a gritty flour, was another staple of Lanzarote in the past.
- Windmills used to grind grain into gofio can still be seen around the island, such as at the Jardin de Cactus.
- This is the multifunctional ingredient that every Lanzarote homemaker has in her pantry to thicken stews, make a milky breakfast drink, cook dough balls, or make sweet sweets.
- Although bread and spaghetti have surpassed the popularity of the humble gofio, they can still be found in some restaurant dishes.
Biosfera Plaza
#Fashion
- The Biosfera Plaza Shopping Center, located in Puerto del Carmen (Tas), is the ideal location to shop for the newest fashion and enjoy various recreational activities in Lanzarote.
- Lanzarote is not only a great place to go shopping, but it's also a great place to spend your leisure time.
- Biosfera Plaza features international brands such as the Inditex Group (Zara, Bershka, Oysho, and Pull & Bear), Timberland, Levi's, Guess, and Foot Locker.

- It also contains some stores selling handcrafted items from the island, which are great for those searching for a Lanzarote souvenir.

Lanzarote Must-Attend Festivals and Events
- Carnival is a big business in the Canary Islands. Following Rio de Janeiro, these seven Spanish islands feature some of the world's largest and most raucous celebrations, particularly on the island of Tenerife.
- On the other hand, Lanzarote does its part – and many visitors arrange their visit to coincide with this yearly celebration, which takes place in the last week or so of February.
- Carnival takes place on several dates and in various locales, but Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen are the most excellent spots to watch the activity.
- The festival in Arrecife lasts about a week, leading up to the main procession, which comprises wonderfully adorned floats, fabulous costumes, and plenty of dancing.
- After Carnival, Corpus Christi has to be the most colourful celebration on Lanzarote.
- The finest site to witness the festivities, as with other fiestas and holidays on the island, is in Arrecife, the capital.
- Islanders construct extraordinarily detailed sea salt carpets in sophisticated and colourful designs along the roads and sidewalks near the Church of San Ginés on a Saturday afternoon following Corpus Christi (adjacent to the El Charco Area).
- The next day, a large procession leaves the Church and crosses the salt carpets. As a result, these works of art are only on display for one day.
- On May 30th, 1983, the Canaries obtained independence from Spain for the first time. And now, it's an annual celebration on all seven of the archipelago's islands.
- The fiesta is a Canarian cultural holiday with festivities taking place all around the island. Schoolchildren dress up in traditional attire, eat traditional dishes, and dance to folklore music.
- The Canarian flag (white, blue, and yellow) is prominently displayed, and the Cabildo hosts fishing, Canarian wrestling, and game hunting tournaments.
- Even the local supermarkets join in the fun, offering a variety of complimentary food and wine tastings.
- And most hotels commemorate the occasion with themed food and folklore festivals, ensuring that everyone gets an opportunity to participate.
