Culture and landscape
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.
Guided walk through the agricultural surroundings of Teguise, where the rural landscape that has shaped the territory of Lanzarote is interpreted.
The route begins in the Vega de San José, on the outskirts of the former capital, and follows traditional paths between cultivated fields, stone walls and buildings linked to agricultural work.
Along the way, you’ll learn how farming has shaped the landscape, which cultivation systems have developed on the island, and how the relationship between people and land has evolved over time.
The walk continues with a calm route through the historic centre of Teguise, understanding the link between the rural environment and the development of the town as a political and social centre for centuries.
An easy experience with no significant elevation, designed for those who want to understand the territory from its foundations: the agricultural landscape, its history and its evolution.
