October in Lanzarote

What to do in Lanzarote in October

• October in Lanzarote brings with it a sense of change: less extreme heat, clearer skies and landscapes dressed in new shades. Although summer is still fresh in our memory, this month opens the door to seeing the island from a different perspective.
• On October 4 and 5, the Vuelta Ciclista a Lanzarote takes place, a race that runs through different municipalities of the island and attracts both national and international cyclists. It’s the perfect opportunity to see Lanzarote in motion, from the road, with the volcanic landscape as its backdrop.
• At the end of the month, on the night of October 31, the traditional Día de los Finaos is celebrated, a Canarian festivity that honors the departed in an atmosphere of remembrance, music, gatherings and typical flavors such as dried fruits or figs.

Although many of its customs have transformed over time, this night remains a very meaningful date in island culture: a time to remember, to share and to keep alive the connection between what once was and what we are today.

Changes in experiences

In order to respect the regulations of the Lanzarote Regulatory Council, and to prevent the spread of phylloxera, the La Geria route is temporarily suspended. This measure is part of the commitment to protect the vineyards and local viticulture.

In the meantime, I invite you to discover other wine and landscape experiences that keep alive the essence of Lanzarote in different corners of the island.
