Connect with Lanzarote
Valleys & Ravines, Volcanoes
It was the ancient capital of the island, from the late fifteenth century to the first half of the nineteenth century. Its cobbled streets transport us back in time and make us discover the stately past of the island. It owes its name to the last indigenous princess of Lanzarote, who married one of the conquerors.
The municipality of Teguise is deeply linked to the world of agriculture: mills, cochineal and cereal crops, water reservoirs and cattle farms are found throughout the municipality.
Teguise is history, culture and nature, the perfect place to understand the social and economic evolution of the entire island.
The coast of the municipality is characterized by a perfect harmony between jable and lava, fine white sand and black volcanic ash, the contrasts so characteristic of the entire island territory.
On an island with only about 20 days of rain a year, it is difficult to supply water to a population of more than 150 thousand inhabitants, to which more than 2,000 tourists are added daily. How is it done then? How was it done before?
On this hiking route through Tahiche we discover the most important hydraulic work in Lanzarote: the construction of an aqueduct. Why has it been built? What had to be its function?
While we discovered the culture of water, we also climbed one of the oldest volcanoes in Lanzarote, the Montaña de Ubique, surrounded by lava and crop areas.

Let's discover one of the unknown corners of Lanzarote enjoying the essence of the island away from the masses.
From the outskirts of Teguise we start walking along part of the historic path that linked Orzola with Playa Blanca. Depending on the season in which you do the experience, the vegetation changes in a surprising way, a sign of the fertility of these lands, which are covered with a green mantle after a few days of rain.
The first stop will be where the old Cortijo de San José and the hermitage of the same name were located. Here we discover the history of the modern era of Lanzarote, its religious traditions, but also the rural reality of the island of volcanoes.
We continue crossing the valley and we will have the opportunity to talk about the different systems of growing crops used by the farmers of Lanzarote.
Flora and geology come together to fill this corner with a special magic. Natural species that grow on land that is formed by the accumulation of sedimentary material from the erosion of the Famara Massif.
Once in Teguise, we will take the opportunity to taste its typical cuisine after exploring one of the most beautiful villages of Spain.

A wine tourism experience that will take you to discover a world unknown to the vast majority.
From our meeting point, we begin a simple walking route around Guatiza, a town best known for the Manrique Cactus Garden.
The walk will take us to discover the most authentic side of the town and its agricultural traditions as well as enjoy unique views.
After the walk of just over an hour, we stop at the Olivina Winery where its owner, Jorge, will tell us about his project and will introduce us to the cultivation of cochineal, also telling us the story of his grandfather.
And all accompanied by a tasting of 4 wines and cheeses from the island.
