Lanzarote in July means sunshine, local traditions, and nature at its most expressive. Summer begins, the wine harvest in La Geria kicks off, and the island celebrates its most iconic maritime festivals. If you’re visiting Lanzarote this month, here’s how to experience it in a different, more authentic way: sunset hikes, local culture, volcanic landscapes and coastal villages full of stories.
The La Geria wine harvest usually starts in July, although this year it may be slightly delayed due to late rainfall. From mid-month, the harvest begins with Malvasía Volcánica, followed by Listán, Diego, and finally Moscatel grapes in late August.
💡 Walking through the vineyards is a unique way to experience Lanzarote’s wine culture. Join a guided route through La Geria to learn about traditional farming techniques and how volcanic soil gives our wines their special character.
July is also a month of local fiestas, especially the Virgen del Carmen celebrations, patron saint of sailors. One of the most moving traditions is the maritime procession, which takes place in Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, and Caleta de Sebo (La Graciosa).
Nearby, the small village of Femés hosts the San Marcial festival, a celebration with deep island roots, local food and a privileged panoramic view of the south of Lanzarote.
With daytime temperatures over 30°C, sunset is the ideal time for hiking in Lanzarote. These are some of the guided routes we offer this month:
Arrecife at sunset: a walking tour through the capital’s old salt flats, fishing docks and maritime history.
Rural Teguise walk: follow old paths through farmland and volcanic plains around the island’s former capital.
Janubio coast walk (on request): ending with a wine tasting and snack on the beach, just as the sun dips behind the horizon.
From July onwards, visits to Timanfaya National Park are regulated through a new online reservation system, organized by time slots. The aim is to reduce queues and improve the visitor experience at the Montañas del Fuego.
Walk-in tickets are still available at the gate, but spots are limited per time slot.
➡️ Booking in advance is highly recommended.
