Culture and landscape
Charming village in the north of Lanzarote, located in the greenest area of the island. Haría manages to keep intact its agricultural and artisanal essence, located in a unique landscape between valleys and ravines that make its orography different from the rest of the island.
The past of Haria is linked to the culture of water, to the need to supply the population with this scarce resource in Lanzarote. Its name derives from two words from the ancient indigenous language, those of Faria and Chafariz, which mean Natural Water Source. The Plaza de La Constitución is built on the old water reservoir of the town, and through its streets you can still see the wells that were used until a few decades ago to collect the scarce rainwater.
In the main valley, the Valley of the Thousand Palms, there is an aquifer although its capacity is not sufficient to supply the town with water.
A guided route through a valley shaped by agriculture, water and local ways of life
Guided walking route through the Haría Valley, one of the most distinctive agricultural landscapes in northern Lanzarote.
During the route, you’ll learn how terraced fields, water management, palm trees and different land uses have shaped this valley and its way of life.
Along the way, we explore traditional farming practices, crop types and local ways of working connected to the territory.
The aim is not only to walk through the landscape, but to understand how it has been built and what sustains it today.
The route finishes at the Haría artisan market, where this relationship with the territory can also be seen in local crafts and materials still in use, such as palm basketry.

Guided walk in the area of Guinate, in the north of Lanzarote, where the relationship between water, agriculture and landscape is interpreted in one of the island’s most representative environments.
The route begins in this small rural settlement located in the midlands of Haría and follows paths that cross terraces, cultivated fields and traditional structures linked to water use.
Along the way, you’ll learn how water scarcity has shaped agricultural life and which solutions have been developed to make the most of every drop in this territory.
Throughout the walk, you’ll understand the processes that have shaped the landscape: the adaptation of cultivation, the role of human work and the evolution of agricultural practices in a demanding environment.
The route unfolds in an open landscape with views over the Risco de Famara and the Chinijo Archipelago, where landscape and tradition remain in balance.
An experience designed for those who want to understand the territory from its foundations: water, land and the agricultural system that has made life possible in the north of Lanzarote.
