Tiagua

Tiagua is a Lanzarote village in the very centre of the island. It's close in all directions, so whether you head north or south, the journey won't take more than 45 minutes. Right in Tiagua you will find an old mill that is freely accessible. From the house you can walk through the sandy desert with views of the Famara rocks and the ocean. This desert is full of marine sediments like shells and other foundations that you can replenish our island of treasures in the garden.

Casa Museo del Campesino

An agricultural museum where you can soak up the atmosphere of Cesare Manrique's work. Don't let the agricultural theme put you off, because here too you'll find passageways through lava tunnels, great architecture and a fine-tuned white and green combination.

7 min

Famara

Wild surfing beach, just 10 minutes from the house. At the foot of the cliffs you will find sand dunes, a completely different world from the tourist south. It is here that you will experience the most beautiful sunsets on the entire island. And this is one of the photogenic locations where you can have your family photos taken by our friend Romana, the best phorographer in Lanzarote.

Timanfaya

Timanfaya is a renowned national park, full of volcanoes. Here you will still find active areas today. You can tour the park by camel or by bus, and in the restaurant you can taste the chicken roasted on the volcano.

12 min

Teguise

Teguise is one of the four historic towns on Lanzarote and is the most beautiful of them all. The atmosphere of the sleepy town combined with the galleries and sophisticated shops is unforgettable. You probably won't pass the square with the church, but delve deeper into the empty streets, admire the old green doors on every house you meet and don't forget to stop by the former Emporio cinema to buy a little nature memorabilia. Skip the "famous" markets, you'd be disappointed.

14 min

Volcán de Los Cuervos

This volcano is one of the most accessible on the island. Walk right into the interior of the crater on a very comfortable path. You'll be surprised how quiet and peaceful it is inside.

14 min

Las Grietas

inconspicuous canyons blown back in time. In Las Grietas you will find picturesque scenery among the rocks. The tunnels can be walked through and in windy weather you will be surprised by the windlessness inside.

14 min

Fundación César Manrique

Cesare Manrique's unique first house on the island. Here he tried his hand at lava field work for the first time, making full use of the caves and fissures that are created in the liquid lava. Here you will find a broken window through which the lava "flows" into the interior, here you will see the first pools in the caves and soak up the period atmosphere from the photos.

15 min

Lag-O-Mar

a unique museum in the rock. This is exceptionally not the work of Cesare Manrique, although the handwriting is very similar. The house was created for Omar Sharif by one of his collaborators. The actor didn't enjoy the house for long as he lost it in the cards very soon. Enjoy the surreal pools under the rock, the water tunnel, the oasis of greenery in the desert. This is one of our favorite places on the island.
