One of the world’s most unique volcanic landscapes. Declared a biosphere reserve in 1993.
Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve
A series of islets comprising La Graciosa, Alegranza and Montaña Clara, as well as the Roque del Este and the Roque del Oeste.
La Graciosa is the only islet to have a permanent population of around 500 inhabitants, all involved in fishing or tourism.
To the south of La Graciosa, visitors can enjoy stunning sprawling red sand beaches, such as the Los Franceses beach.
Jameos del Agua
Located at the foot of Mount Corona volcano, in the north of Lanzarote, which last erupted roughly 3,000 years ago. It is one of the planet’s most fascinating cave and tunnel systems.

Museums
Whale and Dolphin Museum
Discover one of Europe’s most important collections, the result of over 20 years of research into the islands’ whales and dolphins.
Visitors can learn the characteristics and typical life of these creatures via a host of audiovisual material, replicas, scale models, skeletons and biological material.
Casa Museo del Campesino (Peasant’s Museum)
The house, along with the Monumento al Campesino (Peasant’s Monument), were both erected to pay tribute to the hard toil of the farming community of Lanzarote, whose efforts were to lead to La Gería, the only place of its kind to be found in the world and from which agricultural produce can now be obtained from the arid earth.
César Manrique Foundation
Although the Fundación César Manrique (FCM) was legally founded in 1983 (it was then known as Fundación Amigos de Lanzarote), it wasn’t until 1990 that a team of collaborators closely related with the artist César Manrique started the ball rolling to update the foundation. To coincide with this enhancement, the artist’s house was also remodelled (Taro de Tahíche), now a museum and headquarters of the FCM.
