Top 7 travel tips in Lanzarote

1. Explore the silent beauty of volcanic landscapes

Begin your visit by exploring the peaceful village of Las Laderas nestled between lava-sculpted hills and ancient stone walls. The silence here is deep, broken only by birdsong and the rustle of wind through dry brush. Stroll along paths lined with cacti and low whitewashed houses. The volcanic soil beneath your feet tells a story older than memory. This is Lanzarote at its most raw and real. Take time to feel the landscape around you.

2. Plunge into vibrant underwater worlds

Swap the lava trails for the deep blue and explore Lanzarote's underwater world. Head to the coast for a snorkelling or diving adventure where volcanic reefs and submerged cliffs hide colourful fish and coral. Swim alongside groupers and parrotfish and if you are lucky catch a glimpse of a sea turtle gliding by. The waters near Puerto del Carmen and Playa Chica are crystal clear and perfect for beginners and pros alike. You do not need to go far to enter a different world. The Atlantic here is alive with mystery.

3. Sip the unique flavours of Lanzarote's wines

Head into the nearby La Geria wine region to visit one of the unique volcanic vineyards. Vines grow in hollow pits protected by semicircular stone walls, a style unlike anywhere else. Try the crisp white malvasía wines and learn how locals turned lava into life. Most bodegas offer tastings paired with local cheese and almonds. The flavour is fresh and mineral-rich, shaped by the island's winds and ash. One sip and you will understand Lanzarote's soul.

4. Experience the charm and history of Teguise

Just a short drive away lies Teguise, the island's historic capital. Stroll its cobbled streets and discover centuries-old churches, quiet plazas and whitewashed façades. Visit the Museum of Piracy inside a hilltop castle with sweeping views. On Sundays the town bursts to life with one of the largest markets in the Canary Islands. Browse handmade crafts and sample island treats under the sun. Teguise is where Lanzarote's past still breathes.

5. Witness the power of the earth's natural forces

No trip is complete without a visit to Timanfaya National Park just west of Las Laderas. Stand on ground still hot from eruptions only centuries ago and see geysers of steam rise from beneath the surface. Ride a camel over the lava fields or take a guided coach through the park's alien terrain. The colours shift from black to red to gold as if the earth itself were glowing. This is nature's theatre, powerful and unforgettable. Feel the heat beneath your feet and the magic in the air.

6. Savour authentic dishes made from local ingredients

Dine in small restaurants that cook with what Lanzarote gives them. Grilled fish caught that morning is served with papas arrugadas and spicy mojo. Goat cheese, honey cactus fruit and fresh vegetables all come from nearby farms. The food is simple, rich and full of character. Sit outside in the warm evening air and enjoy slow unhurried meals. Every bite connects you to the rhythm of the island.

7. Celebrate the island's artistic spirit and culture

Discover how Lanzarote's wild beauty has inspired generations of artists and dreamers. Visit the home and creations of César Manrique whose vision helped shape the island's unique blend of art and nature. Explore volcanic caves turned into galleries and gardens carved into stone. Every piece is a tribute to the land itself. Whether you are an art lover or just curious, this side of Lanzarote will surprise you. Let creativity lead your next adventure.
