Top 5 places in Lanzarote
We all have our favourite places on the Island… so here are mine in no particular order. We’d love to hear yours too!
1. Femés. I never tire of that view as you come out of Femés towards Playa Blanca. Of course the view is changing constantly since all the extra villas were built – but no matter what time of day it is, the vista is breathtaking.
2. The mountain road to Haria. Specifically the stretch from the wind farm on towards the valley. I have to say – it’s my favourite stretch of road…. and Haria is especially beautiful in the spring after the rain.
3. On the water. Every time we go out with Paul and Sally from Sail Lanzarote… I kick off my flip flops… lean back… and smile. Mooring off the Papagayo beaches for lunch… with the gentle motion of the waves – just heaven! Even better after I’ve eaten to sit with my toes in the water. Good food, good friends, good times.
4. Mirador del Guinate. I actually prefer the views to Graciosa from here than from Mirador del Rio – and it’s free too! Turn right out of the Guinate Tropical Park’s parking area, and go to the end of the road. Aim for a clear day if you can.
5. A tiny rocky beach across the road from Calle Anzuelo in Puerto del Carmen. If I have time when I’m up in Puerto del Carmen, then I try to give myself 10 minutes of sitting quietly in this little spot… and if I can catch the sunset at the same time too… then it’s perfection itself
