ABOUT THE GUANCHES
The Guanches were the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands until the arrival of the Spanish. In Lanzarote, the Guanches were known as the “Mahos” and it is believed that their population was concentrated in the north and west of the island. The Mahos lived in caves and stone constructions, and were dedicated to agriculture and fishing. They developed differently on each island, so they have been given different names depending on the island: Benahoritas on La Palma; Bimbaches on El Hierro; Guanches on Tenerife and La Gomera…
The Guanche population is of Berber origin and it is assumed that they arrived on the islands some 1800 years ago. Today, some vestiges of the Guanche culture can be seen in Lanzarote, such as the rock engravings found in some caves and rocks, as well as in some aspects of popular culture and local craftsmanship.
Although the Guanche culture disappeared over time, its legacy can still be seen today in the music, gastronomy and traditions of the Canary Islands.
The trails once used by the Guanches are now enjoyed by contemporary hikers and have technical names such as GR 130 or Lanzarote trail GR 131. However, in homage to those hardened hikers of the past, we prefer to call them…

Lanzarote trail GR 131
The island of Lanzarote is one of the seven main islands of the Canary archipelago. It is a volcanic island with a very unique landscape, huge black lava plains, craters and volcanic lava flows.
In addition to the spectacular Lanzarote trail GR 131 , the island has numerous tourist attractions, including the stunning white sandy beaches in the south with crystal clear waters: Playas de Papagayo.
It also has genuine architecture, with buildings designed by the local artist and architect, César Manrique, which combine traditional architecture with modern style.
Lanzarote is, in short, an island of unique natural beauty, rich culture and distinctive architecture, making it an ideal place for a relaxing holiday and an unforgettable tourist experience, walking the Lanzarote trail GR 131 .
Characteristic corners and enclaves of Lanzarote
Some of the places you should not miss if you visit the island are the following:
National Park Timanfaya: is a unique natural park with a lunar landscape of volcanic origin. Here you can see the volcano craters and lava flows. You can also take a camel ride through the park.
Cueva de los Verdes: is a volcanic cave more than 6 km long with an impressive system of caves and underground galleries. Here you can enjoy a sound and light show that will take you through the geological history of the island.
Jameos del Agua: is a resort built in a volcanic cave with an impressive indoor lake, a botanical garden and a natural swimming pool. It is also home to a unique species of albino crab, found only on Lanzarote.
Mirador del Río: is a viewpoint built by César Manrique on the top of a cliff in the north of the island. From here you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby islands.
Fundación César Manrique: is a museum dedicated to the local artist and architect, César Manrique, which has a collection of art and a sample of his architectural work. You can also visit his house, which was built in a volcanic cave.
Playas de Papagayo: Lanzarote has many stunning beaches, but undoubtedly the most popular of them all is Playa de Papagayo, along with Playa Blanca, Famara and Caleta de Famara. All of them have crystal clear waters and black and white sand.
La Geria: is a unique wine-growing region where the vineyards are cultivated in pits dug out of the volcanic ash. Here you can enjoy a wine tasting and buy some of the local wines.

ACCOMMODATION

HOTEL LANCELOT
Arrecife, the capital of the island of Lanzarote, shows its cultural side with small workshops and exhibitions related to the work of Cesar Manrique. The Hotel Lancelot is located on the seafront, with great panoramic views. All around you will find an extensive gastronomic offer in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. And directly in front of the hotel there is a quiet white sandy beach where you can take a refreshing dip after the first walks.
The hotel's deck terrace is equipped with a solarium and swimming pool. Its rooms have been recently renovated, offering a modern and very comfortable look. Arrecife is undoubtedly the ideal place to start Lanzarote GR 131.
Directly in front of the hotel is the Playa del Reducto, with fine white sand and clean, calm waters. It is a very popular place for the locals who make the most of their leisure time to go for a swim or play sports on the long boulevard that runs along the beach.
HOTEL CASA DE LOS NARANJOS
An old manor house situated in the municipality of Haría, in the north. The Hotel Emblemático Casa de Los Naranjos has been exquisitely restored and offers the authentic taste of the old, but with modern standards of comfort. Haría is the end point of the first stage and this hotel allows you to recover your strength while enjoying a splendid atmosphere.
The bright rooms are spacious and comfortable. Luxuriously decorated and furnished, in the incomparable setting of the village of Haría, the place chosen by the artist Cesar Manrique to live his final years in Lanzarote. A quiet corner to relax in the valley of a thousand palm trees
B&B LA MIMOSA
...And when we arrive in the village of Teguise we find a unique accommodation: the B&B La Mimosa. This is a Bed & Breakfast type accommodation set in the setting of a typical Lanzarote house, with a multitude of details and a minimalist appearance that will captivate the spirit of its guests.
The rooms are located in different spaces of this house in a harmonious but at the same time informal way, achieving a spectacular result. The Villa de Teguise was the first capital of Lanzarote and has a great historical heritage that is reflected mainly in its old mansions and palaces.
The architecture of the B&B La Mimosa keeps alive the character of a time when Lanzarote was the spearhead for the colonisation of the Canary Islands. It has small interior patios with abundant floral vegetation that invite meditation and rest after a day of great activity.
HOTELITO LA ERA
A small family-run hotel in Yaíza, a beautiful village in the sunny south of Lanzarote, very close to the wine-growing area of La Geria, the Timanfaya National Park, the Papagayo Beaches in Playa Blanca and El Golfo and the Janubio Salt Flats. A pleasant and quiet rural environment but easily accessible to any corner of the island.
Yaíza is a small and pretty village with a rural appearance and very peaceful surroundings. An ideal place to rest after the day's activities and find peace and quiet.
The few rooms offer an exquisite atmosphere and complete equipment. The one-storey building recreates traditional Lanzarote architecture, with white walls, wooden pergolas and interior patios with a profusion of multicoloured plants.
