Playa Blanca: Marine atmosphere

Playa Blanca is set deep in a town located on the South of the island, with a beautiful volcanic setting shaded in red, ochre and yellow. This lovely beach offers water activities such as snorkelling, a pleasant and lively promenade and one of the best marinas in Lanzarote: Marina Rubicón. Playa Marina invites you to enjoy and stroll along the charismatic marine atmosphere.

It is one of the main beach destinations of Lanzarote; it perfectly combines picturesque traditions with a sustained and good quality tourist development. It is ideal for visitors who are looking for good quality accommodation with a wide range of facilities. Playa Blanca leads you to other beautiful coastals such as Playa Dorada, Playa Flamingo and the splendid calas de Papagayo, an unspoilt environment of golden sand and clear blue water, sheltered by sharp cliffs. Not far from there you have some of the main sites of the island: the town of Yaiza, Parque Natural Timanfaya, Los Hervideros, El Golfo with its green natural lake, the amazing Salinas de Janubio and La Geria.

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.

Discover a "salt garden"

The Salt Mines of Janubio, created in 1895, are for many people a salt garden and one of the most incredible landscapes of the island. As if it was a painting, the various ponds that form the salt mines acquire different colours that change with the sun rays, contrasting with the deep blue ocean. Blinding scenery. A vast area of nearly one million square metres is divided in a huge number of grids separated by dark volcanic rock walls. The exploitation of the salt mines has continued to date in a traditional way.

During your trip to Lanzarote, don’t miss this site that has been recognised by the UNESCO as one of the most interesting salt mines that remain in Europe. However, what is the effect of salt in this land? At the beginning of the 20th Century , salt was one of the major sources of income for Lanzarote, as the mines produced sufficient salt to export to different countries around the world. At present, the Salinas de Janubio are one of the few mines that are still open, transformed a tourist site that produces 15.000 tons a year of salt. Besides, this white gold is still an essential element of the renowned festivities of Corpus Christi, when the street are decorated with gorgeous salt carpet.
