There are some beautiful viewpoints, or Miradors, across Lanzarote, here's some of our favourites to look out for when you're discovering the island.

Femés

It's worth pausing to take in the balcony at Femés especially now that the area has been pedestrianised, there are two bar restaurants situated here to enjoy a drink or meal from this viewpoint down to Playa Blanca and neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.

Haría

There are always motorists and cyclists stopped at the mirador de Haría, there is a layby on the top of the road from Teguise as well as the restaurant and gift shop where the coaches stop. Also at this spot is the turn off for the Bosquecillo picnic area which has stunning views down to Famara and La Graciosa.

Mirador del Río

The most famous all Lanzarote's viewpoints! The visitor attraction at the Mirador del Río is popular and the drive along the narrow coast road perched on the top of the risco is thrilling for those willing to try it. A beautiful spot to watch the sunset.

Mirador Guiguan

This one is hidden away in Tinajo, it's situated right on the main road from La Santa towards the Timanfaya National Park. There's a lovely seated terrace there shaded by bougainvillea with a sea view over the terraced valley.

Mirador de Guinate

Follow the road through the village of Guinate, past the old Tropical Park and the road ends in a balcony on the Risco de Famara for a slightly different vantage point to Mirador del Río, looking across to La Graciosa.

We asked our Facebook readers to tell us which villages in Lanzarote are their favourites to visit, and we thought we'd share the results with all of you.

We totted up the results and here they are:

Femés
Where is it?
Femés is between Uga and Playa Blanca on the road that goes over the mountain. Take the turning at the "Camel" roundabout and you'll go through Femés.
How do you say it?
The accent means the "push" is on the last syllable, so it's "Fem-esss."
What's There?
There are two parts to the village, Las Casitas de Femés, which you will come to first from the Uga side. That's all houses, but worth a stop to view the helicopter! One of the houses on the main road is owned by someone who used to make carnival floats, so his creations fill the garden.

At the far end, Femés itself, you'll find two restaurants, both of which have amazing views down to Playa Blanca, and a café by the church for cheap but wholesome tapas.

Yaiza
Where is it?
Yaiza is between Uga and Playa Blanca. Just turn off left from the main road down towards Playa Blanca.
How do you say it?
The "Z" is softer in Spanish than English, so "Yah-isa."
What's There?
It's quite a large place, and is the municipality town, so the mayor and administration are based there. There are quite a few bars and restaurants and a large aloe vera shop.

Yaiza is simply beautiful and well worth visiting just to walk around. It's right on the edge of the lava flow from Timanfaya. At Christmas, there Belén, or nativity display is usually the best on the island.

Arrieta
Where is it?
In the north of the island. It's the first village you come to on the main road from Tahiche towards Órzola.
How do you say it?
Exactly as it looks - "arry-etta."
What's There?
Arrieta is right on the coast and was a fishing village. It has a fabulous beach - Playa la Garita, which has golden sand, good facilities and even a couple of restaurants on it. There's a small supermarket and several front line restaurants in the village, which specialise in fresh fish dishes and paella.

You can also find the famous " Doll's house " here.

Punta Mujeres
Where is it?
It's the next village on from Arrieta. Head north along the coast road and you're in to Punta Mujeres before you know it.
How do you say it?
"Poonta - Mooheres." It means "Women's point" and is called that because wives used to stand on the point there to spot their fishermen husband's boats coming home.
What's There?
There's a huge sociedad in the village, several tapas bars and restaurants and the famous sea pools. These have been created along the front and provide a safe swimming area.

At the northern end of the village, you'll find a coastal path and you can walk as far as Jameos del Agua from there.

Playa Quemada
Where is it?
It's the next village on from Puerto Calero. You access it by road from the main Macher to Uga road, and it's the last turning before the camel roundabout.
How do you say it?
"Pla-yah-kemada."
What's there?
There is a small beach there, and lovely for a wander around. There's a nice coastal path towards Papagayo in one direction and Puero Calero in the other. There's also a naturist beach in the direction of Papagayo.

But the main reason people visit is for the sea food restaurants, which are on the front line.

Órzola
Where is it?
It's the northern most village on the island, right on the "tip" in the north.
How do you say it?
The push is on the first "O," so it's "Orr - sola."
What's There?
It's the ferry port for La Graciosa and a working fishing port, so it's a busy place. There's also a lovely beach there, but it can have strong currents and there are no lifeguards.

Once again, it's full of fantastic fresh seafood restaurants, and it's great to sit outside, enjoy a meal and people- watch.

Haría
Where is it?
In the north of the island in a valley - follow the road up from Arrieta.
How do you say it?
The push is on the "I," and the "h" is silent so "Arreeea."
What's there?
The Saturday morning food and craft market is excellent, and there's a very busy sociedad and a couple of bars and restaurants. The village is known for it's beauty and abundance of Canarian palms, often referred to as the valley of a thousand palms.

Look out for the famous Barber of Haria, as well - his name is Ladislao. It's a great stopping off point for walks.

So there you have it, your favourite Lanzarote villages. Those were the top 7, but honourable mentions also go to El Golfo and Tabayesco.

Lanzarote is one of the best places on the planet for snorkelling. Why? Because the water is warm, teeming with life, and there are very few "nasty" things in it! We don't have jellyfish, the only sharks you may see inshore are harmless Angel Sharks, and the water is clean and clear.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Almost everyone who comes to the island has tried our famous local dishes like Canarian Potatoes or perhaps Estofado - traditional Lanzarote food. But there are some things we eat here that you may not have tried, so here are some suggestions for you, and we've also suggested where to go for our favourite version:

Bocadillo de Pescado

Yes, it's a fish butty! Often served for breakfast, it consists of a thinly sliced fillet of white fish, which has been lightly coated in breadcrumbs and fried, then served in a bread roll, smothered with aioli (garlic mayonnaise.)

Our favourite place to eat these is at Bar Ginory in Arrecife, opposite the harbour and close to Charco san Gines. They use the freshest fish and cook them perfectly. We love having one there on a Saturday morning before going shopping.

Puntillas de Calamar

These are very small, whole baby squid, which are coated in a light batter and deep fried, then served with fresh lemon squeezed over them. They sound (and look!) a bit scary, but they are delicious!

We love eating these at Bodegón las Tapa on the front in Playa Blanca.

Bocadillo de Tortilla Española

Yes, it's another butty, but this one is a barnstormer! It's exactly what it sounds like, a thick wedge of tortilla, stuffed into a bread roll, served with (optional) sliced tomato and aioli. Get one mid morning, and you won't need to eat until the evening!

Our favourite place for these is the caféteria at the Pican petrol station in Tias. You can get them to eat in or to take away.

Conejo Campesino

Rabbits were introduced to the island as a meat source, and they are still hunted to control their numbers. Local restaurants often serve them on hunting days, so they are super fresh and being wild, wonderfully meaty and gamey. Generally they are served very simply - chopped up and fried over a very high heat with tons of garlic and seasoning. Fiddly, but delicious!

We often visit the small restaurants in the side streets of Teguise on hunting days to enjoy this dish.

Boquerones

These are anchovies, but they are nothing like the tinned, salty ones you may have had before. They aren't cooked, they are preserved in vinegar and olive oil and served on a dish with green olives. They are delicious and extremely good for you.

We love the boquerones served at El Chiringito, the little tapas bar on Arrieta beach.

Five top sights

César Manrique Foundation

Cesar Manrique's home, built into the boulders in a lava field, is now a foundation dedicated to his life and work. The ground floor is an exhibition space with works by his renowned contemporaries, including Tàpies, Millares, Picasso and Saura, but it is the view framed by the huge windows that draws the eye. Basalt steps lead down to a turquoise pool and five lava bubbles linked by passages in the volcanic rock. Visit this foundation first to get an idea of what Manrique is all about, and you'll get more out of his other creations on the island.

Address: Taro de Tahiche, Tahiche
Open: daily
Admission: €8
Contact: 00 34 928 843138; fcmanrique.org

Timanfaya National Park

The focal point of a vast black landscape is the Islote de Hilario volcano. Buses take you around the park to see the extraordinary striated rock formations. At the summit, there is a restaurant designed by César Manrique, where meat and fish are cooked on a grill using heat coming up from inside the volcano. You can also go on a camel safari around the park, starting from the village of Yaiza.

Address: Timanfaya is 4 miles north of Yaiza
Open: daily
Admission: including guided bus tour is €10 for adults and €5 for children
Contact: 00 34 928 173789; cactlanzarote.com

La Graciosa

This tiny island off the north tip of Lanzarote has no roads, just fabulous beaches and a handful of idyllic waterside fish restaurants. Good for cycling and hiking if you are feeling energetic. Take the ferry from Orzola ( lineasromero.com) or book a trip from your resort.

Teguise

Founded in the 15th century, the little town of Teguise ( turismoteguise.com) in the centre was the original capital of Lanzarote. Handsome colonial mansions line the cobbled streets, which lead off the Plaza de San Miguel, where there is a busy market on Sundays. The Convento de San Francisco dates back to the end of the 16th century, while the Convento de Santo Domingo was built about a century later.

Surfing in Famara

Famara, in the north-west of the island, backed by dramatic cliffs and exposed to the Atlantic wind, is a fabulous beach for watersports, with excellent conditions for surfing, windsurfing and kiteboarding. Surf School Lanzarote ( surfschoolanzarote.com) is widely renowned for its expert instructors and quality tuition - and its courses are tremendous fun too.

Address: Callejón 4, Caleta de Famara
Admission: options include a three-day course for €179
Open: daily

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Lanzarote 's year round clement climate is the primary draw for most visitors to the island. Even in the depths of a northern European winter, the temperature rarely falls below 21°C. Add in over ninety great beaches and an abundance of high quality hotels and holiday villas and Lanzarote has all the right ingredients for the perfect beach holiday.

But this speck of Spain off the coast of Africa has more to offer than just bucket and spades alone. Thanks to the influence of the Lanzarote-born artist and architect Cesar Manrique, this little island is packed with a series of unique tourist attractions that are well worth a visit. Whatever the weather.

Timanfaya Volcano Park

The Volcano Park at Timanfaya is Lanzarote's number one tourist attraction. Drawing nearly I million visitors last year alone. And it's little wonder as the landscape here is literally out of this world.

This eerie and haunting terrain was created by the world's longest ever volcanic eruption, which lasted six years from 1730 to 1736. The eruption buried, what was once the most fertile farm land on the island, under a sea of lava.

Today the scene has not changed much. The vista is populated by exhausted volcanic cones, weird, twisted lava shapes and a surprisingly wide range of earthy and organic colours and tones.

Visitors to the Volcano Park are treated to a coach tour through this surreal landscape accompanied by a commentary recording the diaries of the local priest of Yaiza, who witnessed these terrifying eruptions.

The tour culminates at an incredible restaurant - The Devil's Diner - where food is cooked over the heat of a volcano and where guests can enjoy panoramic views of the Volcano Park.

Jameos Del Agua

Lanzarote has many star attractions. But this collapsed, 6km long lava tube, located in the north of the island close to Punta Mujeres, often tops the bill for most tourists.

The Jameos Del Agua's popularity is attributable to the fact that this incredible natural space has been further enhanced by Cesar Manrique. He, with the help of fellow architects Luis Morales and Jesus Soto, transformed it into a stunning subterranean auditorium.

Tropical gardens, bars and a restaurant surround an underground lagoon. The atmosphere is hushed and cathedral like. Blind albino crabs - unique to Lanzarote - glisten in the water like jewels.

Visitors emerge from this underground area and encounter a dream-like swimming pool that is so opulent that it is reserved for the sole and exclusive use of the King of Spain.

Behind the pool lies a concert hall - formed from volcanic rock - with incredible acoustics. This has provided a stunning backdrop for many classical and avant garde concerts since it was first built in 1987.

The Jameos Del Agua was declared the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Hollywood legend Rita Heyworth when she visited as a guest of Manrique. And it continues to wow visitors today.

The Cactus Garden

The Cactus Garden in Guatiza is a celebration of the plant world's spiniest species orchestrated to perfection once again by the ubiquitous Cesar Manrique.

The site here was formerly a quarry but today it is home to over 1,000 different species of cacti all artfully arranged in terraces around this bowl shaped amphitheatre-like space.

Visitors are initially greeted by a giant, eight metre high, green, metallic sculpture of a cacti, spikes and all. This stands sentinel-like over the car park and main entrance.

This cacti motif is repeated everywhere: on door handles, in the big wrought iron front gates and in slightly more abstract forms such as in the beautiful glass ball sculpture that adorns a sinuous spiral staircase in the stylish bar beneath the restored Gofio mill, at the rear of the garden.

The Cactus Garden is a plant lovers paradise. It is located in the heart of what was once Lanzarote's cactus country. This plant was originally grown by islanders in order to attract the cochineal beetle, which was in turn dried and crushed and used as a natural dye-stuff.

Cesar Manrique Foundation

This incredible house, built by Cesar Manrique into five volcanic bubbles, never fails to blow visitors away.

This ingenious feat of architecture was one of Manrique's first creations on Lanzarote and was designed to illustrate just what could be achieved. Many thought Manrique was crazy for believing that Lanzarote could be transformed into a tourist paradise.

But by the end of 1968, when this creation was complete, they were forced to think again when the building won numerous international architectural awards. The rich and famous visited in droves - curious to find out more about this suddenly fashionable new destination.

One celebrity visitor - the actor Omar Sharif - was so impressed that he immediately commissioned Cesar to build him a similar style of holiday home. Manrique found the perfect site just up the road in Nazaret, and transformed an old quarry into the most incredible private residence.

But Sharif soon after lost the property in a high stakes game of bridge and left the island in a fit of pique. Never to return.

Mirador Del Rio

Whilst Manrique was very much a child of the 60's he was no hippy preferring a natural high. This philosophy is best epitomised by his transformation of a former naval gun battery in the North of the island into the most breathtaking look out point - or Mirador - on Lanzarote.

The Mirador Del Rio sits at one of the highest points on the island - some 479 metres. And affords the most incredible views down and across to the neighbouring island of La Graciosa - just one thousand metres away across the El Rio Strait and the uninhabited islets of Montana Clara and Alegranza.

Originally, Manrique planned to create a restaurant here. The curvaceous windows of the Mirador are very similar to those he later utilised when transforming the basement of the Castillo de San Jose in Arrecife into one of the most impressive dining rooms on the island.

But today, whilst it's still possible to buy snacks and drinks at the Mirador, it doesn't house the grand restaurant that Manrique initially envisaged. The space is instead dedicated to framing the fantastic view.

There aren't many places that gather as many areas of interest for the cultural and natural heritage of Lanzarote as Cueva de los Verdes, a unique mythological-looking cave, full of legends and extraordinary landscape and beauty. It came about after the eruption of the Volcán de la Corona, and it's one of the most impressive hidden wonders in the depths of Lanzarote. It was used as a hideout by the locals who needed shelter to protect themselves from invasions and attacks of pirates coming from the north of Africa during the 16th and 17th Centuries. In the 19th Century, it became a must for travellers, experts and European scientists due to the uniqueness of this volcanic territory, named after a family that kept their cattle in the area, the story goes. In the 1960s, the Cabildo of Lanzarote turned to artist from Fuerteventura Jesús Soto, later in close collaboration with Manrique, to adapt this natural volcanic sanctuary that has become an attraction for thousands of visitors who wish to unveil its secret. Soto used his knowledge and focused on the lights and shadows to make the most of the brightness on rocks and highlight the shapes left by the lava on its way. The range of ochre, grey, black and red shades take over this dark paradise and imitate the light drawing grotesque landscapes and spectacular rocky structures to the amazement of visitors. Going into Cueva de los Verdes is, without a doubt, going on a journey to the centre of the earth.

Previous Information

We recommend you to stay close to the tour guide during your visit in order to be able to listen to the characteristics, peculiarities, and secret of Cueva de los Verdes. It is better if you do not look up too much information prior to your visit, let yourself be surprised.

Looking for fun things to do in the sun in Lanzarote? Ok so the beaches are beautiful, but this Canary Island is a natural beauty full of volcanic vineyards, lava tunnels and other surprises. Here's the top 15 things to see and do in Lanzarote that should definitely make it onto your holiday hitlist!
Search for flights to Lanzarote
1. Explore Timanfaya National Park

One of the most popular Lanzarote attractions, the Timanfaya National Park is the best place to explore the Fire Mountains (Montañas del Fuego) responsible for the volcanic eruptions in the 1700s. The landscape here is unique, with the lava fields, cones and salt marshes resembling the surface of the moon. Guides will demonstrate how hot the lava fields are by throwing water into holes in the ground, only to emerge as piping hot steam! There's also the El Diablo Restaurant, where food is cooked on grills heated by the volcano. A coach tour is included in your ticket price, as you can't wander unsupervised in the park. If you want to go beyond this, various free walking tours are offered, and take around 3-4 hours, but booking in advance is required.

Opening times: Daily, 9am to 6pm (restaurant closes at 3pm).

Location: Timanfaya National Park, south-west Lanzarote. Tourist buses arrive at the park entrance in the morning, so if you're hiring a car, go in the afternoon to avoid queues.

Price: €8*

2. Discover the Cueva de Los Verdes

Cueva de Los Verdes, or 'The Green Caves' are volcanic hollows formed by the eruption of Mount Corona around 4000 years ago, part of the longest lava tunnel in the world. The caves were historically used as a hideout for the locals during invasions by pirates but now make one of the most captivating Lanzarote sights, with special lighting showcasing the different structures and natural colour changes due to the iron and salt. You can walk around 1km of the 6km cave, across 3 levels.

Opening times: Daily 10am - 6pm.

Location: 35520 Haría, Las Palmas.

Price: Adults €8, Concessions €4.

3. Hang out at Jameos Del Agua

Jameos Del Agua was devised in a radical way during the 1960s, by Cesar Manrique, Lanzarote-born architect and artist. The word jameo in this context means the opening of a lava tunnel, and the Jameos Del Agua is the result of Manrique's transformation of part of the same Mount Corona volcanic system. Now, you can see a collection of gardens, café, a natural lake home to albino crabs and a number of other species, and an auditorium which regularly hosts events. Chill with a cocktail at the underground cave bar, or stick around 'til nightfall when a second venue turns into what's got to be one of the world's more unusual nightclubs (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday only, 7.30pm - 2am).

Opening times: Daily 10am - 6.30pm. Bars and restaurant open selected times, with reduced hours during winter.

Location: Carretera Orzola, Punta Mujeres.

Price: €11.

4. Laze in Playa Blanca

One of the more upmarket Lanzarote resorts, Playa Blanca oozes the charm of unhurried seaside life, where boats drift in and out of the harbour and you can wander from the boutiques of Marina Rubicon to the bar without a care in the world. The main Blue Flag Playa Blanca beach lives up to its name, part of a string of three white shores cupped by black volcanic rocks. Head to Playa Dorada to try watersports like parascending, jetskiing and scuba diving, or nearby Papagayo, said to be the most beautiful beach in Lanzarote.

5. Browse the Jardin de Cactus

Lanzarote's Jardin de Cactus (Cactus Garden) is a quirky attraction in Guatiza in the north of the island. With a botanical oasis feel, it is home to over 1000 cacti plant species in a terraced former quarry shaped like an amphitheatre. Again, it's largely the handiwork of Cesar Manrique - his last project before his death in the 1990s. The colourful cacti are sourced from all over the world and perfectly contrast the grey volcanic ash. There are ponds, winding paths and lava rocks overlooked by a restored rustic windmill, offering great views towards Arrieta. Tip: August to September is the perfect time to visit the gardens, as many cacti are in flower.

Opening times: Daily, 10am to 5.45pm.

Location: Carretera General del Norte, s/n, 35530 Guatiza.

Price: Adults €5, Concessions €2.50.

6. Visit Cesar Manrique House Museum & Volcano House

After exhausting all the Lanzarote attractions by Cesar Manrique, don't miss his former studio-home near Haria, a reimagined manor house that's now a museum dedicated to his life and the promotion of his works. Marique's other property, Volcano House, near Tahiche, is 25km south of Haria and another zen-like creation built in five volcanic bubbles, with flowing rooms, natural light, fountains and a swimming pool. The house is also one of Lanzarote's most important art galleries, where famous names from Joan Miró to Pablo Picasso have been exhibited in the past.

Opening times: (Cesar Manrique Museum) Daily, 10.30am to 6pm. (Volcano House) Daily 10am to 6pm.

Location: Casa Museo De Cesar Manrique, Calle Elvira Sánchez, 30, 35520 Haría.

Volcano House, César Manrique Foundation, Taro de Tahíche - C/ Jorge Luis Borges, 16.

Price: Joint ticket for both properties is €15. Individual tickets available.

7. Go wild at Rancho Texas Park

Rancho Texas Park is a Texan-themed animal and water park in Puerto del Carmen, perfect for anyone with kids in tow. There's a wide selection of activities, from the pool and waterslides to gold digging and canoe rides on the Indian Lagoons neighbouring the Tipi Village. Animal-wise, the most exciting finds here are the rare white tigers and Komodo dragons, with plenty of daily events featuring sea-lions and birds of prey.

Opening times: Daily 9.30am to 5.30pm.

Location: Alcalde Cabrera Torres Street (Noruega Street extension), s/n. Puerto del Carmen.

Price: Adults €22, Concessions €17.

8. Take a Submarine Safari

If you've always wanted to explore the depths of the ocean but don't fancy diving then how about a trip on a submarine? Submarine Safari in Puerto Calero gives you a rare opportunity to take a dive in a submarine, up to 30m deep into the Atlantic Ocean off the shores of Lanzarote. The dive will take approximately one hour, and a diver swims alongside the vessel feeding the fish so you will get to see a wide variety of fish.

Opening times: Daily 9.30am to 5.30pm (excluding Sundays during winter).

Location: Puerto Calero. Free bus services are available from Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise (enquire about booking).

Price: Adults €55 ( online discounts available), Concessions €34.

9. Charco de los Clicos

Lanzarote is full of natural wonders, the Charco de los Clicos (or Green Lagoon) near El Golfo being another startling example. The lagoon has an unrivalled location at the foot of a volcanic crater, surrounded by black and red lava rocks. The lagoon's green colour is a result of the unique combination of micro-organisms and volcanic minerals mixing with seawater from the Atlantic. Pop along the road to sample the freshly caught fish of the day in the restaurants of El Golfo - try Mar Azul for some of the best oceanview dining.

10. Slow down in Yaiza

A tranquil village near the foot of Timanfaya National Park, Yaiza has maintained its character, having survived the volcanic eruptions of the eighteenth century. There's a pristinely-kept square, a seventeenth century church, gardens and tapas bars where you can enjoy quiet al fresco dining with the commanding backdrop of Mount Timanfaya. It's the perfect place to experience traditional Lanzarote, away from the pulsing resorts of Costa Teguise. Yaiza is also the place to buy Lanzarote gemstones and jewellery, with a series of small boutique shops run by local designers and craft-makers that you can patrol for rare souvenirs.

11. Sunbathe on black sand

You haven't experienced the Canaries like a local until you've sunbathed on a black sand beach, and quiet Playa Quemada, populated mainly by those in the know, is the ideal place to start. In the south-west close to Puerto Calero, this so-called 'burnt beach' attaches onto a former fishing village and retains a pleasant, sheltered feel if you want to escape those brisk Canarian winds.

12. Visit Castillo de San Jose, Arrecife

Many people on Lanzarote holidays fly in and out of Arrecife Airport without stopping at the island's capital, but there are some cultural gems here worth seeing. This defensive fortress was used to keep pirates at bay until the nineteenth century, and today houses the Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporaneo (Museum of Contemporary Art), featuring sculptures in some unusual places - check out the works on the roof, and look for the elegant horses and riders standing out in the sea, which can be seen from the gallery's restaurant.

Opening times: Daily 10am - 8pm (to 9pm in summer).

Location: Calle Norte, 51C, Arrecife.

Price: Adults €2.50, Concessions €1.25.

13. Stroll El Charco de San Gines

Take a stroll along the 'Venice of the Atlantic' at El Charco de San Gines, an old section of the Arrecife marina. A lagoon framed by fishing cottages, restaurants and bars, it's a great place to stop for a cold beer, some tapas and a spot of people-watching as the sun sinks. La Miñoca has surprisingly good-value plates with the friendly service an extra plus.

14. Drop in at the Bodegas El Grifo

Did you know that the Canary Islands are prime wine-making territory? The volcanic ground here is strangely ripe for growing certain varieties of red, white and rosé grape, as demonstrated at the Museo del Vino, within the 1775 Bodegas El Grifo winery, the oldest on the island. Take an inside peek at the growing, crushing and bottling process, guided by local experts. Tastings are included in the ticket price and if you like what you try, you can even order bottles to be delivered to your home.

Opening times: Daily 10.30am - 6pm.

Location: LZ-30, Km 11, 35550 San Bartolomé.

Price: €12.

15. Discover La Graciosa - the eighth Canary Island

The tiny, virtually unheard of island is home to a population of just 600, off the north coast of Lanzarote. Rumoured to be the Treasure Island in R. L. Stevenson's famous book, a British ship is said to have buried their valuables on La Graciosa back in the eighteenth century, to prevent them being found by pirates. Whether the treasure remains is subject to local myth but you can certainly enjoy a spot of speculation whilst sunning yourself on the undoubtedly gorgeous beaches. The finest is Playa de las Conchas to the north-west; it is possible to walk from the ferry port but 5km in the midday heat can be unforgiving. Thankfully there are fairly cheap water taxis charging €8 per person to wherever you wish, or 4x4 jeeps which cost a little more. To get to La Graciosa, car ferries leave from Orzola on Lanzarote and the journey takes 15 minutes. Lanzarote is also handy for a quick weekend break in Fuerteventura to the south; read our guide to find out more!

How to get to Lanzarote

You'll find direct flights up to seven times a day from London airports Gatwick and Luton, plus flights from Bristol, Birmingham and Belfast International.
