private experience in Lanzaorte
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.
This private walk of approximately 3 hours explores the agricultural landscape of Vega de San José, on the outskirts of Teguise. It is available on request, allowing the pace to be adapted to the group.
From the meeting point, we follow unpaved tracks through sand-covered cultivation areas, stone walls and historic land connected with the former Cortijo de San José. During this mainly flat first section, you will learn how traditional farming transformed Lanzarote’s landscape and how local communities adapted cultivation to limited rainfall and strong winds.
We then climb towards the upper part of the valley, where views open across El Jable, the coast and Famara Beach. The walk continues along the higher ground before returning towards Teguise, passing historic lime kilns that reveal another part of the island’s economic and building history.
An experience designed for walking at a calm pace, understanding Lanzarote’s rural landscape and discovering an area away from the usual routes.
