Costa Teguise: Historical and monumental
Teguise amazes visitors for its history; a walk around the old town centre, which was declared Historical Artistic Architectural Ensemble, proves an interesting cultural legacy. Former capital of the island, it offers one of the most beautiful and best planned tourist areas: Costa Teguise. This charming land of extreme beauty captivated King Hussein of Jordan, who chose this privileged spot to give King Juan Carlos I of Spain a lovely residence.
Its outstanding hotels offers, the quality of its services, the incredible sports and entertainment activities, as well as its pleasant and amusing atmosphere, make this area a valued destination. Costa Teguise is located near the capital of the island and at only 15 minutes from the Lanzarote airport, it offers a golf course, windsurfing and dive schools and an amusing water park. However, the highlights of Costa Teguise are its beaches such as Las Cucharas, Bastián, Jabillo and the beautiful landscapes of Pueblo Marinero, a complex designed by the brilliant artist César Manrique. In La Villa de Teguise, capital of the municipality situated a few kilometres away, you will find Spínola Palace, the Santa Barbara Castle, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church… An architectural gem.
Los Jameos del Agua
Los Jameos del Agua, like the Los Verdes Cave, are located inside the volcanic tunnel created by the eruption of La Corona Volcano over 3.000 years ago. It is one of island's most symbolic places and is known as César Manrique's first work in Lanzarote (1968), for the volcanic formatios and its natural beauty.
It owes its name to the existence of an internal lake made up of at least three jameos or openings in the ground: the Jameo Chico, which gives access to the interior; the Jameo Grande; and a third, known as the Jameo de la Cazuela. Next to the Jameos you will find Casa de los Volcanos, a museum dedicated to vulcanology and an investigation centre.
DISCOVER A NATURAL GEM
After passing through a small entrance, you will descend an clever spiral staircase made of volcanic rock and wood, that allows us to discover, little by little from the top, the first stop: the Jameo Chico. In this space, you will notice abundant vegetation. Following the same staircase you will reach Jameo Grande, a singular space 100 metres long and 30 metres wide. It has a beautiful garden and a large swimming pool designed by César Manrique.
Perfectly built in the landscape you will find two bars, a dance floor and a concert hall with great acoustics integrated in the volcanic cave. It is the perfect place for concerts, plays and ballet.
LOS JAMEITOS, A SYMBOL
In between the two Jameos you will find a natural salt-watered lake and amazing crystal clear waters, as well as more than a dozen different species such as Jameitos or blind crabs (Munidopsis polymorpha). This species is blind and albino after living for milleniums inside the volcanic grottoe.
Cactus Garden
In spite of the 5.000 square metres, you will find an organised garden perfectly fitted in the agricultural environment of Guatiza, in the town of Teguise.
César Manrique's creative inventiveness transformed an old volcanic ash quarry into an interesting cactus garden with over 7.200 specimen of 1.100 different species from the Canaries and countries such as Peru, Mexico, Chile, United States, Kenia, Tanzania and Morrocco.
In the top part of the garden you will find an old windill, restored and transformed into a restaurant by Manrique.
DID YOU KNOW
Guatiza was of great economic importance during the 19th century thanks to the prickly pear plantations. For decades the pigmentation was used as a dye for textiles or carmine.
Monumento al campesino
You will find the monument in Lanzarote's geographical centre, in a signficant crossroads from where you can access any place on the island. It is exactly at this point where you can see several outstanding agricultural images: La Guería and enarenados del Jable.
César Manrique chose an exceptional location to exhibit one of his most symbolic work: Casa-Museo del Campesino y Monumento a la Fecundidad (1968).
Fecundidad stands out isolated, over the horizon, a 15 metre sculpture dedicated to the local peasant. Inside, you can observe several objects and tools related to the islander culture and agriculture.
Timanfaya is one of the best lanscapes of Lanzarote. In the 18th and 19th century, after the volcanic eruptions, Lanzarote's landscape changed forever. Ever since that moment a quarter of its territory remained buried under a thick layer of ashes and sea of lava.
The result of this is a breathtaking landscape with remarkable reliefs, protected since 1974 under the National Park distinction.
VOLCANO ROUTE
We recommend following the Ruta de los Volcanos (Volcano Route) or Montañas del Fuego. 14 kilometres that have been prepared for visitors to enjoy this special location through roads that are perfectly fitted in the environment and designed by César Manrique and Jesús Soto.
Walking around the craters or on a dromedary are always a unique experience to enjoy an unforgettable holiday. Along the journey you will be able to see what vulcanologists call geothermical faults, that produce unusual temperatures on the surface.
During the journey, on the islote de Hilario, you can find a restaurant-viewpoint El Diablo, designed by Manrique.

Costa Teguise and the renowned beach Las Cucharas is the best destination to practice windsurf and the venue of two essential events: the World Windsurfing Championship PWA and the European Freestyle Pro Tour. Costa Teguise offers the visitor magnificent weather conditions to practice windsurfing, as well as several specialised schools along the entire coastline. Whether you’re a beginner in this sport or you wish to improve your style, the island of 300 volcanoes offers you an unlimited number of possibilities. The wind, the waves, the volcanoes and the marine fauna will make your holiday unforgettable. We hope you have good wind!
