Los Ancones Walk

The Los Ancones Walk is a fairly easy walk of about 5.5km. It’s mostly a rocky cliff top route affording beautiful views of the NE coastline.

There are many tracks and trails in this area between Los Ancones, Guatiza Garage and Los Cocoteros. The trails are great for mountain bikes as well as hiking.

Montaña Cardona Walk

The Montaña Cardona Walk is a small section of the larger Volcán Templo, Montañas Cardona & Ortiz Circle. It is an easy to follow walk, with little or no climbing and good under foot.

Montaña Cardona Walk – Natural History

This walk is fascinating. You start through the stark lava flows of the 1730 eruptions and then as you circle Montaña Cardona itself you start to notice the most amazing flora.

After the Walk you have a number of options for coffee and cake or a spot of lunch. There are the villages of Masdache and Las Vegueta & Yuco. There is also Casa Museo del Campesino.

Teguise Lime Kiln Circle

Teguise Lime Kiln Circle, a fairly easy walk just under 4.5 km. Very little climbing, but still affords some lovely panoramic views. The walk takes in the the historic Lime Kilns of Teguise.

At the turn of the century these Lime Kilns were at their height. The lime extracted had many uses. In paints for the houses, waterproofing the aljibes (water storage), soap making and water purification.

Haria Barranco Elvira Sanchez

Haria, Barranco Elvira Sanchez is a circular walk of about 3 – 4 hours, between 7 and 10km depending on route.

The hike up the Barranco itself is quite steep, but there are plenty of places to stop and admire the view.

At the top enjoy the stunning views from the Risco down towards Caleta de Famara.

The way back down is via part of the GR-131 Camino Natural de Lanzarote, a little steep in places, but much easier to descend than the Barranco.

After the climb there is the Restaurante Los Helechos for a coffee / lunch. And then, it’s down hill all the way back to the start.

Haria Temisa Walk May 2023

The Haria Temisa walk is about 5.5km, 2 – 3 hours and is well marked. There is a bit of a climb in the middle section and the path is quite narrow in places, but well worth the effort. Views back towards the coast, and down into both the Tabayesco and Haria valleys.

We had a beautiful spring day, clear skies, light breeze and a coffee and cake stop at Bar Cafeteria El Rincón de Quino.
