A lookout carved out of the scarp of Batería del Río in 1971-73 by César Manrique, with a café and viewing platform landscaped into the rock with a clear view of La Graciosa.
A jameo is a Canarian word which means a lava tunnel where the roof collapsed to expose a gully, and also describes tunnels entered through such a gully. This one is part-flooded and has been prettified with a bar, restaurant, swimming pool and concert hall. It all feels a bit like a Sandals Resort, except for the blind albino crabs.
This is the show cave in a series of lava tunnels created during the eruption of La Corona 4,000 years ago. The interconnected tunnels stretch over 8 km, with some parts submerged. A 45-minute guided tour takes you through a well-lit section, but you need to be reasonably agile over the rough surface. Some of the passageways are very narrow and you need to duck your head multiple times.
A lookout up a lane from Haría, with views over the cliffs to Famara. Hike north along the ridge for an even better lookout.
One of several lookouts along the side loop of Calle de la Caldera starting from Máguez.
Reached by a well-paved side lane off the road to Yé.
Palm Grove House
Home and studio of César Manrique, brilliantly decorated in his style. His other place was the volcano house (Taro de Tahíche) in Tahíche near Costa Teguise, a combi ticket is available.
An attractive beach with a lagoon enclosed by volcanic rock, so it's warm, calm, shallow and a good spot for kiddy-bathing.
Or Órzola has nearby parking and is sandy but often windy. Beware strong currents further out. Hang-gliders launching on the hills sometimes lands here.
A stiff hike from Yé village, about an hour and with a descent of the cliffs. It's a rare expanse of sand but has no water, shade or other facilities; when the wind is from the west the breakers are rough. Then you steel yourself for the return ascent and hike, over sharp volcanic rocks that shred flimsy trainers.
Charming small hotel in a 200-year-old mansion.
By car
By car follow LZ-1 north from Arrecife. This goes all the way to Órzola - a branch inland at Arrieta for Haría.
By ferry
Ferries sail hourly from Órzola at the north tip of Lanzarote to Caleta del Sebo on the island of La Graciosa.
You need wheels: the bus gets you between Haría and Máguez but for anywhere else it's too infrequent.
