Top Things to do in Lanzarote
10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Lanzarote That You Shouldn't Miss
Ahhh, Lanzarote: The Canary Island paradise where you can ride a camel into the sunset and then dine inside a candlelit cave. The rock formations of Los Hervideros will take your breath away, as will the views from the Mirador del Rio lookout point. Legend has it that locals would hide from pirates in the underground caverns of Cueva de los Verdes, which are now open to curious visitors. Above ground the Jardin de Cactus will teach you all about the spiny desert plants.

Like many places in Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen was originally a small fishing village, and the old harbour is still a delightful place to visit, boasting some excellent bars, restaurants and excursions running out of the harbour.

Walked here most mornings from our apartments, it’s a lovely area with lots of restaurants and cafes. Nice to sit in the sun soaking up the atmosphere. Did a 2 hour boat trip from the harbour, 2 of the happiest English blokes owned the boat, and made it a lovely trip, probably the best we’ve been on! Enjoyed watching all the divers doing their thing! And feeding the fish in the harbour.

The Jameos del Agua was the Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism to be created by César Manrique and reflects one of the cornerstones of his creative work: harmony between nature and artistic creation. The Jameos del Agua are located inside the volcanic tunnel created by the eruption of La Corona Volcano, one of the longest in the world, at 6 kilometres in length.

Cochineal treatment and interpretation center.
Reviewed By nickc152
This is a relatively new museum and caught us by surprise because it was absolutely fascinating. We were met at the door by Silvia and right from the start her enthusiasm for and knowledge of the museum were unparalleled compared to some of the 'stuffy' museums we have visited. The museum clearly demonstrates, in English, Spanish, French and German the processes involved in producing cochineal products ranging from cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and even drinks! The information is well presented and there are an array of photographs, maps and artifacts showing the history of cochineal in Lanzarote especially around the Mala and Guatiza areas. We have undertaken walks all over the north of the island and always wondered why there were so many fields of prickly pear cacti ... this museum will give you all the answers. This is a little gem and your visit can take as long as you like and has a charming shop at the end which sells reasonably priced products. Don't miss this museum there is no entry fee and will give you some very interesting historical facts about farming cochineal. The museum can be visited at the same time you visit Jardin De Cactus (Cactus Garden) because it's only 5 minutes away. The museum is in Mala opposite the Arapero restaurant which is a great place to eat.
