      A Perfect Tour Of Lanzarote

      Day 1

      Beach day

      Spend the day exploring your base, Puerto del Carmen. Stroll along the attractive promenade, find a good spot to laze on Playa Grande, then enjoy a late fishy lunch at La Lonja (Calle Varadero).

      Day 2

      The island interior

      Drive through La Geria wine country, stopping at Bodega El Grifo to sample wine and explore the museum, then head towards the Monumento del Campesino in the centre of the island. Visit the adjoining artisan centre, then time your return journey to include an early (pre-booked) dinner (from 8pm) at the stunning La Tegala in Macher.

      Day 3

      Arrecife and the Fundación Manrique

      Visit the island capital, Arrecife, to explore the backstreets and have coffee by the Charco (lagoon). Then head to the Fundación César Manrique, a splendid museum and gallery in what was the artist’s home, with murals, paintings, ceramics and views over the eerie volcanic landscape.

      Day 4

      Teguise

      Head to Teguise when it is not market day (Sunday), so you can enjoy the pretty streets, admire the ornate colonial buildings and have lunch in the Ikarus Gastro Bar (Calle Clavijo y Fajardo). Just outside town, visit the hilltop Castillo de Santa Bárbara for stunning views and the fascinating Pirate Museum.

      Day 5

      To the north

      Book a night’s accommodation in Haría, an arty little town in the verdant ‘Valley of a Thousand Palms’. Go first to the extraordinary underground world of the Jameos del Agua (another Manrique creation) then return to Haría for a late lunch at Dos Hermanos (Plaza León y Castillo).

      Day 6

      Mirador del Río and La Graciosa

      Not far from Haría is the Parque Tropical, with exotic birds and subtropical plants. Continue to the far north of the island for lunch at the café at the Mirador del Río, from where there are spectacular views. You should have time for the short boat trip from nearby Orzola to La Graciosa, a completely undeveloped little island.

      Day 7

      Parque Nacional de Timanfaya

      Back at Puerto del Carmen, drive via the idyllic village of Yaiza to the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. Go for a camel ride at the Echado de Camellos then take a tour around the Montañas del Fuego, before eating meat grilled over natural volcanic heat at El Diablo restaurant.

      Day 8

      Papagayo

      Drive
