Loop starting from Haria

de fr

Starting from Haria, this hike passes through gardens, a small green valley and, finally, offers an exceptional view of Famara Beach. For me, one of the most beautiful hikes on the island of Lanzarotte.

A lovely walk. You follow a path lined with flowers (at least at this time of year) before reaching a magnificent view of the ocean and the cliffs. Don’t be put off by the ‘no entry’ sign at point 2, which might make you hesitate. There are no major difficulties, just make sure you bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes.

There are many different landscapes along this hike, which is a bit different from the other routes on the island. It starts out green and lush before leading to Risco de Famara and its sensational views. We climbed the neighbouring peak, La Mesa. Be careful on the slippery descent, but it's worth the climb for an even more spectacular view of La Graciosa. The return to Haria is more straightforward.

We did this route on 10 January 2026. The weather was fine.
We cannot park in the restaurant's private car park, but we can park along the road 100 metres further up. Please note that Saturdays are market days, so parking spaces are in high demand.
A beautiful route at the beginning, then a magnificent view of Penado Bay and, further on, Graciosa.
The climb up to Matos Verdes is not very difficult, and the descent to Haría is splendid.

A very nice walk, well described. Be careful though: shortly after point 2 the path is blocked by a chain and a "prohibido el paso" sign! Either you go through and risk getting caught... Or look for an alternative route (not very obvious).

The hike is even more interesting if you continue on to the Mirador del Bosquecillo (breathtaking views, and even more so if you go as far as the rocky cape a little higher up!)

Very nice walk in beautiful countryside, especially at this time of year when a multitude of flowers appear.
Great views of La Graciosa and Farmara beach.
Make sure you are well equipped (shoes, sun protection, water, etc.).

Magnificent hike starting from Haria! Spectacular views! Medium difficulty, but you'll need good shoes and water! Beware of the wind too, which quickly lowers the temperature in the shade (but it's November).
Highly recommended!

A walk with superb and varied scenery, especially the views over the beaches of Famara and La Graciosa. Can be used as an alternative to a visit to the Mirador del Rio.
The first part of the hike up to point 3 is quite difficult, with some steep, rocky ascents and descents. The difference in altitude measured seems insufficient: we were at 609m at our highest point and 65m at our lowest, with climbs and descents totalling 1,500 metres.
After point 5 we followed a parallel path towards Haria to avoid a steep descent.
A difficult walk for occasional hikers at times, requiring good footwear, but well worth the effort.

Hikers beware, the route takes you to a passable track at the top of the climb (Km3) which is blocked by a chain with a "passo prohibido" sign. A local user of this track told me that I could use it on foot. This track leads to the market gardens and the farmers protect themselves from crop theft. Make sure you stay on the track without going onto the farms. (400 metres)

⚑Departure from Haría (Province de Las Palmas)
Before it became easier to reach the island of Lanzarote via the port of Orloza, the inhabitants of La Graciosa crossed El Rio, the inlet that makes it an island, at its narrowest point. Then all they had to do was climb the Risco de Famara wall to reach the first inhabited areas. For the hiker, this may be a sporty idea, but on a day-to-day basis, it must have been quite an ordeal!

A short tour to the Monte Corona ridge, discovering the volcanic landscapes of northern Lanzarote, its crops (vines, ...), the Malpais, the lava field to the East that slopes down to the sea. Monte Corona is a volcano with a beautiful, typical crater with a red interior, contrasting with the dark grey exterior. Beautiful views towards the Mirador del Rio and the island of La Graciosa and its smaller sisters. Passage through the bodega is subject to authorization by the winegrower, so perhaps consider a tasting before you set off! :-)

⚑Departure from Tinajo (Province de Las Palmas)
A small, friendly island at the northern tip of Lanzarote. There are no paved roads on the whole island, only tracks and paths. A pleasant little port, beautiful beaches, and those on the east and south coasts are safe. Which explains why we chose to do a loop in the south of the island, to combine the joys of walking and the joys of the seaside.

⚑Departure from Haría (Province de Las Palmas)
The route allows you to enjoy the magnificent panorama of the island of La Graciosa from the ridge line and/or from the Mirador del Rio designed by Manrique (€8.50). The entrance fee does not add anything to the panorama, but it does allow you to visit the beautiful building designed by Manrique. During the climb, you can also enjoy the beautiful view of Orzola and the coast. Hike with a summary description, to be followed on the Visorando app.

⚑Departure from Teguise (Province de Las Palmas)
This walk is from Teguise, the old capital of Lanzarote, high up in the hills, down to the coastal resort of Costa Teguise. There is a short climb at the start from Teguise going up towards the Castillo de Sante Barbara, where there are great views along the length of the island, and then there is a gentle descent down to the coast with good views of the eastern coastline. Most of the route is along country tracks which tend to be dusty, and a little rocky at times, but not difficult.

Capital of the island of Lanzarote since the 19th century, Arrecife is a large, dynamic town in stark contrast to the rest of the island. However, it retains a typical historic heart and a magnificent seafront. The De Guaguas bus station is an important transport hub from the airport. If you're a first-time visitor to Arrecife, this route will take you to the town centre and the famous Charco de San Gines, before heading off to your vacation destination.

This hike (also known as Caldera de La Rilla), far off the beaten track, takes you to one of Lanzarote's spectacular craters. It also allows you to discover part of the Los Volcanes Natural Park, a veritable lunar landscape. There are no technical difficulties, except perhaps for its length (over 9 km). Be sure to bring windbreakers, as the wind can be very strong at the top of the crater. Please note that descent into the crater is forbidden (limits marked on the ground by stone alignments).
