10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Lanzarote That You Shouldn't Miss

July 5, 2021 Margarita Chappel

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.

Casa Jose Saramago

The house museum of José Saramago, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998 is a real immersion in the universe of the Portuguese writer. The guided tour includes first the house and the garden, then the private library and its various work spaces.

Reviewed By FranMachado

A fabulous intimate tour of Jose Saramago’s home in Lanzarote. Alba our guide was informative and only too pleased to answer questions in Spanish, English and French. Walking through his home and library, seeing where he worked, rested and entertained was privilege. I loved his library built to house all and his wife’s books. Allow and hour and a half and make sure you are there for opening at 10.

Cueva de los Verdes

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

€9.50 per adult. We were there about an hour, some queuing time but not too bad. You have a guided tour ( more Spanish information than English) . A fascinating place with a twist at the end. Lovely no one has said what it is. Just watch your head in some places and wear decent footwear. If you are going by car be aware the road leading up to the caves is very narrow with passing places.

Timanfaya National Park

An awe-inspiring stretch of volcanic wasteland: a desolate and bleak monument to the power of Mother Nature.

Reviewed By RicardoBowie - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Timanfaya National Park is the most popular attraction on Lanzarote and for good reasons. A beautiful, wild and rugged landscape that has lava fields, volcanic activities and craters that can be scaled by hikers and walkers who are prepared to go a little further than the the bus tour. An entry fee to the park and the 'official gate' will get you a bus tour (approximately 45 mins) or you can book in advance for a guided walk. Both these methods suit most people. That said, if you want to walk without a guide a good place would be parking at Caldera Blanco and walking into the lava fields from there. Totally free. This can take you to several points in the park. I climbed Caldera Blanco. The parking area is on 'maps'. You can also park in the village of Tianjo. My route took about 3 and a half hours. Circumnavigate top of caldera then back.

Los Hervideros

Reviewed By 308sidg - London, United Kingdom

One can cover Green lagoon, El Golfo, Los Hervideros & Salinas (all within 5kms) free attractions with free car park. Los Hervideros: Go at the sunset(preferably at high tide) and see giant waves crashing against the rocks. You will be awestruck with the two caves and awesum photos Green lagoon: 5mins walk from the free car park to see this natural wonder, just few mtrs away from the ocean you can found this green lagoon. Green due to algae growth which gives the color, its a ecological spot so one cannot go actually to the lake, you need to see/take snaps from the hill top. I particularly found the rugged mountain in the background quote attractive in different hues of yellow, brown etc.. El Golfo: Beautiful spot for the best sun set in the Lanzarote Salinas: Some 3 kms from Los Hervideros, one can found Salinas with a green lagoon in the background. Good for children to see how to make salt. In all, 4 awesome attractions free of cost @ Lanzarote

Fundacion Cesar Manrique

Home of a famous Spanish artist

Reviewed By Greenhillsfan - Pershore, United Kingdom

Definitely the coolest place to visit on the island. Formed out of lava holes, it's like a 70s Bond film set - we loved it. Cesar Manrique has had a huge influence on the art and architecture on the island - there are some enlightening films to be seen here at his former home as well as much of his art on display. You only need 90 minutes to tour, including a cuppa / snack from the onsite mini cafe, so you may wish to combine it with another trip. We took a tour here with Low Cost Travel, who picked us up from our hotel before going to the Sunday market at Teguise. All was well described by a Danish tour guide.

Montana Roja

Reviewed By 501suelyf - Dublin, Ireland

Montaña Roja was our favourite spot in our trip to Lanzarote. At the feet of our hotel, we climbed twice, both for sunrise and sunset, both worth the climb. It's an easy climb, everybody with a minimal effort can do it and it takes less than 30 minutes if you are a bit fit. You can park the car close to Montaña Baja and then find the trail at the feet of the mountain and start your way up. From up there you have amazing views of Playa Blanca and Fuerteventura just in front of you and also Papagayo Bay with its beautiful beaches. The crater is easily reachable and you can walk around it or go to the middle as well. Awesome for a quiet spot to see the beautiful sunrise or the amazing sunset. Its pretty windy up there, so bring a jacket if you plan to stay a bit longer. Totally worth the climb and the best part is that is for free and Mother Nature really rewards your efforts with tremendous views of the landscapes around the island! If you have an hour to spear, just go and enjoy!

Mirador Del Rio

Located 400 metres high, on the Risco de Famara, the Mirador del Río is one of César Manrique's most representative architectural creations as it shows a series of artistic and architectural details and his eagerness to combine art and nature. It is located near the remains of an ancient military base that dates back to the end of the 19th Century. It is camouflaged on the rock in a way in which only a genius of Manrique's magnitude could conceive.

Reviewed By Scene-set - Wokingham, United Kingdom

......and the views pretty good! An amazing architectural and engineering feat. The unassuming entrance (cave like) leads to a glorious open, light and airy space which doubles as a viewing platform and restaurant. The outside platform gives a spectacular panoramic view of La Graciosa - but beware it can be cold and of course windy! There is an upper viewing area accessed via a circular staircase cleverly ‘moulded’ into the structure from inside the restaurant sitting area. From this upper level you can still see the remains of the fortress that once stood on the site. Excellent coffee’s and snacks available and reasonably priced considering they have a captive audience! Worth paying the small entrance fee to see one of the best landmarks on the Island!
