What you can't miss in Lanzarote, with photos and context.
The National Park was born from the eruptions of 1730 to 1736. The ticket (€30, online only with a time slot) includes the Volcano Route by coach and the geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario, where the ground is scorching just a few centimetres down.
A lava tube turned by César Manrique into a garden, an auditorium and a white pool. The inner lake is home to tiny blind crabs found nowhere else. Open daily from 10:00 to 18:00.
Part of the same lava tube as the Jameos, created by the La Corona volcano. The guided visit covers about a kilometre of stacked galleries and ends with a surprise best left unspoilt.
A viewpoint Manrique built into the top of the Famara cliffs at the island's northern tip. From its windows you look down on the El Río strait and the whole of La Graciosa.
The Canaries' most famous farming landscape: each vine grows in a pit dug into volcanic ash and sheltered from the wind by a stone wall. The wineries along the LZ-30 road are open to visitors and pour volcanic Malvasía.
A green lagoon beside a black-sand beach, inside half a crater open to the sea. Close by are Los Hervideros, where waves crash through the lava, and the Janubio salt pans.
Coves of golden sand and calm water between cliffs, in the Los Ajaches Natural Monument east of Playa Blanca. You reach them on a dirt track (non-residents pay €3 per car) or by sea.
