Montana Roja

On the program: peaks, canyons, goats, secret beaches, wells and a quiet beach. If you finish this hike at the end of the day, at sunset, you'll be under a rosy sky that is gradually studded with stars. Apart from its length, the ascent to Hacha Grande is the main difficulty, as the trail is sometimes hard to see.

Magnificent white sand beaches, some of which are sheltered from the wind. Please note that the dirt access road is very dusty.

An easy walk through hardly visited valleys, including three almost deserted beaches. Good trail for most of the way. ⚠️However, a passage looks very impressive before you start, but the path is well marked and it will only be a problem for people who are very prone to vertigo.

Starting from the village of Playa Quemada, this short hike provides access to 4 hardly visited beaches. There's nothing complicated about the route, apart from a few overhangs above the cliffs, which can be impressive, especially on windy days. The 4 beaches in question are Playa Quemada, Playa de la Arena, Playa del Paso and Playa la Casa. The latter holds a little surprise in store.

The village of El Golfo, on the island of Lanzarote, was miraculously spared the eruptions of 1730 to 1736. As the lava spread all around the village, right up to the first houses, the highest ground was bypassed by the molten rock. The result is a landscape in which the different phases of the island's volcanism are clearly visible, thanks in particular to the Islotes (Islands) that still stand out against the ocean of lava.

The Ruta del Litoral is a trail that runs along the west coast of Lanzarote, right by Timanfaya National Park. It crosses the malpais, an area of volcanic rock created by the eruptions of 1730-1736 and 1824, between El Golfo and Playa de la Madera. Here, I suggest you take the first part of this coastal trail from El Golfo to Playa del Paso, where swimming is prohibited. The waves, the cliffs, the lava show and the desert landscape are just some of the reasons to discover this place.

A truly exotic route in La Geria, a protected landscape characterised by thousands of small semi-circular walls (“zocos”) sheltering vines growing in the black volcanic ash. The ridge of Montaña Tinasoria, which is very easy to walk along, offers a superb 360° view.

The Great Route 131 (GR®-131) is part of an international trail that crosses the island of Fuerteventura and the other Canary Islands. The route takes you from the centre of Corralejo, leaving it a few kilometres further on to climb Mount Bayuyo, which reveals all the beauty of the landscapes of northern Fuerteventura, as well as views of Lanzarote and Lobos.
