Product Information

Teguise is the former capital of Lanzarote and is a very charming town. There’s quite a lot to see, with large squares, churches, shops, restaurants and more. Visiting Teguise Market is one of the best things to do in Lanzarote After a safety briefing at their base in Puerto Calero (along the coast from Puerto del Carmen), we followed our buggy guide around the island. These things are noisy and bumpy, but if you enjoy driving, you’ll love getting behind the wheel of one of these. We went on a mix of off-road routes and main roads, with my favourite part being the road through La Geria (the wine region). Seeing the volcanoes and unique vineyards from our open-sided car was pretty awesome! Going off road on a buggy tour of Lanzarote As you explore the foundation there are videos and pieces of information, so you’ll leave having learned a lot about Lanzarote’s most famous resident.

La Frontera’s boho-feel El Sitio (doubles from €50) occupies a thoughtfully converted, sustainably run bodega with seven lava-stone casitas and views across El Golfo. Or stay at the east-coast Parador de El Hierro (doubles from €97), which has an elegant historical look, a pool with a view of the Atlantic and a smart restaurant. Lanzarote's culture and geography are intrinsically linked with one man in particular: César Manrique. A "lanzaroteño" by birth and by heart, the artist dedicated his body and soul to his life's work - the island he called home.
