La Santa

La Santa, Lanzarote

LZ 20 takes you to the small seaside village of La Santa, as well as hundreds of sport enthusiasts and athletes – cyclists, who belong to the “Urbanisación La Santa Sport”. Teams of both recreational and professional athletes train here. The club has an incredible amount of sporting equipment and facilities. Whether you want to measure your running time professionally, take a guided mountain bike tour or exercise your hips in Latino Aerobik course, Club La Santa offers it all.

A highlight for water sports fans is the man-made lagoon created by the connection of the island of La Isleta, by two dams to Lanzarote. Hoist your sails and enjoy wind surfing and long-distance swimming in warmer temperatures. The seaside village of La Santa is not yet a main tourism destination. The small port remains unspoilt and full of charm. Tucked away is the excellent restaurant “Amendoa”, open daily from 7pm.

Follow LZ 20 back to Tinajo and take the road to Tenesar – Las Malvas, a dirt track with no signposts, a journey to nowhere. In Tenesar, a village consisting of just 20 houses, time seems to have stood still. Here you can take things a bit slower – no stress, no hassle. The ideal place for a short break or a picnic.

The waves crash against the cliffs of Tenesar throwing spray into the air – a breathtaking spectacle of nature. The resulting salty mist provides a pleasant cooling. On a rough day the waves are enormous. Continuing on – go back to the point at which the road forks and then take the other exit to Playa de las Malvas.

The beaches Playa de las Malvas and Playa de la Madera offer visitors a fascinating backdrop: a rough, wild and rugged coastline, an agitated ocean and  only a few tourists. If you’re looking for palm trees, white sand and restaurants then you can forget it, at this secluded and stunning location. Take good shoes, at Playa de Las Malvas the trail up the cliff is a great walk. From here enjoy the sunset, an unforgettable experience. Tip: Take a thick towel to sit on.

La Santa is an ideal place to train and practice sports. At the “Club La Santa”centre there are various training facilities and exercise classes. In addition, every year the “Quemao Class” is held here. This is one of the toughest surfing competitions in Europe for its complex waves.

Famara Beach Lanzarote

Playa de Famara Surf Beach to relax, Lanzarote

Southeast of Teguise you reach via a roundabout to the winding route of the LZ 402 to Famara. With a fantastic view over the coast of Famara, you will be perfectly prepared for your beach day. At the “Playa de Famara” you will find a sandy beach whose rough but beautiful side has also inspired the well-known director Pedro Almodóvar. He filmed some scenes for his film “Broken Embraces” with his crew at the Beach Playa de Famara with Penélope Cruz in one of the starring roles.

Spread your towel on the warm sand beach and be fascinated by the impressive backdrop that is offered to you: In front of you the rough and moving sea and some surfers who try to conquer the waves, next to you the steep cliffs “Risco de Famara” and above you the warming sun that pours the beach into a warm light. The red flag is permanently hoisted at the Famara Beach due to the strong waves and the strong current. You should always bath with special caution and don’t behind the waves into the open sea. Children should only go into the water with a supervisor.

The strong waves, however, attract many surfers to this beach. Beside surfing also kitesurfing is possible at Famara Beach. The conditions at Famara Beach are convenient for professional surfers, intermediate surfers and beginners. If you also want to be a wave rider or at least try it, you can rent the necessary equipment at the local surf shop or book a surf course directly. Obviously, the conditions are changing by wind and tide and the season of the year. With the beginning of the autumn, you will find professional surfers also at the famous spot “La Santa“.

Due to the relatively strong wind at Famara Beach, it is always felt a few degrees Celsius cooler. Hence, Playa de Famara is the right place to relax on hot, humid summer days. On cool and windy days, on the other hand, you should only visit Playa de Famara, if you want to go on a beach walk, wearing a windbreaker.

Please be aware of the ocean drift. Very strong.

Always come back on your feet after each wave. The beach is big fun if you never go behind the line where you touch sand on the ground. Don’t go swimming here. Even if you are a very good swimmer. Just jumping in the waves and enjoy.

Flags are always red here. So please make sure that you don’t swim where you cannot touch ground and make sure you are keeping an eye on your children.

Very important also to check the tide before going. Beach can be 200 m wide or just zero in the back part of the beach.

Finally, try to be at Famara beach when the tide is low because then you be at a very large sandy beach. You can check out the forcast for high and low tide here.
