Costa Teguise is a beach resort on the east coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It's about 7 km east of the capital Arrecife and 15 km from the island's airport. In 2022 the resident population was 8949, but this is greatly swelled by visitors, as it's a popular spot for budget package holidays. It was built as a planned resort in the 1970s, which must have been exciting times here, as the bedrock is tough lava and the developer was Rio Tinto Explosives.

A lava tube cave set in volcanic scenery. You need a flashlight to go any distance inside, and it's trash-strewn. A 15 min hike brings you to the rim of the caldera.
César Manrique (1919-1992) was an artist, sculptor and nature activist. His later home was burrowed out of the volcanic rock here, and turned into a museum of his life, art and times. He campaigned for sustainable tourism and against samey high-rise hotels.
