El Golfo, Lanzarote

El Golfo is situated in southwest of Lanzarote. This small fishing village is known for its tasty fish specialities and the natura attraction “lago verde“. Fish is caught, gutted and cleaned right in front of your eyes, very much to the joy of the sea gulls who happily treat themselves to the leftovers. There is a small footpath at the end of the village, which leads across lava rock all along the cliffs. Sturdy footwear is absolutely necessary here.
However, the absolute highlight is the magnificent sun set. Accompanied by a glass of delicious wine from Lanzarote, it lets you just simply forget everything.

Specials

“Los Hervideros”, “Lago Verde” or “La Lagna de los Clicos” in El Golfo are one of the most beautiful places of the island, without any doubt one of the Must See of Lanzarote.

Cueva de los Verdes – The Green Caves, Lanzarote

Approaching from LZ 1, follow the signs for Jameos del Agua, shortly before you’ll see a signpost for Cueva de los Verdes. Guided tours begin on the hour, sometimes more frequently depending on the influx of visitors. Tours are held both in Spanish and in English. However the English translation unfortunately is only a brief summary of the more informative Spanish version.

As you leave the heat, light and noise of the surface, and descend fifty meters into the cool, dimly lit, and watery underworld, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported into a different reality. This is a one-hour magical adventure through the underground cave system filled with light and sound installations.

Cueva de los Verdes translates as The Green Caves or Caves of the Greens?, which they are not. The name of the cave system dates back to the Verde family, who in the 17th century discovered the caves and used them as a hiding place from pirate attacks. Your imagination will run wild as you meander through the winding labyrinth of caves, feeling as though you’re journeying to the centre of the world.

During the tour you’ll be taken to the Auditorium – a spacious cave with excellent acoustics and a small stage, seating 200-300 people. Every few weeks classical concerts are held. Sit comfortably back and listen to quiet background music. At the end of the tour there a surprise, but you needn’t worry it’s not pirates.

Important

In the summer months (July-September) it is recommended for individual visitors to visit The Green Caves in the afternoon, so that crowds can be avoided.

Opening hours

MON-SUN 10am-6pm

In summer (July-September) until 7pm

Last tour at 5pm (6pm)

Los Hervideros, beautiful volcanic coastline on Lanzarote

Continuing on your trip from Salinas de Janubio to El Golfo or the other way round you come to the next attraction, Los Hervideros, where you can stop at one of the many small bays along a coastline full of nooks and crannies. Park your car at Los Hervideros and admire this miracle of nature. For centuries the sea has eroded the lava at this point. Stand on the cliff, taste the salt in the air and let the wind blow through your hair, as you enjoy the view of the turquoise water crashing against the cliffs.

Important

Take in mind that it can be busy at the big parking area next to Los Hervideros due to the fact that big touristic buses do also stop over here.

View Point Cueva de las Cabras (Risco de Famara), Lanzarote

 

An amazing view point is offered to you apart from a tarred road at the cliffs of Risco de Famara. Cueva de las Cabras has also received a google marker and although the path to this point is difficult you can reach it with your car. Above the cliffs you will a have a broad view from La Graciosa over the Atlantic Ocean to the Beach of Famara and over a large area of the southern Landscape of Lanzarote. Your are very close to the clouds and when they are not there this “Mirador” is a great place to enjoy a sunset on Lanzarote.

Important

The last hundred meters to the view point is just a path and there are no lights.
