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

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.

There is a History section on this site if you are interested in learning more about this fascinating island of Lanzarote and its people.

Haria Temisa Walk May 2023

Haria Temisa

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.
