This place has everything to amaze us : a town where time has stood still, restaurants with fabulous fresh fish, good waves for surfing, a magnificent beach and great views towards Chinijo, the neighboring archipelago. Who can resist so many attractions?
Chinijo Natural Park
Undoubtedly, within the Canary Islands the best known islands are the seven largest, but in reality there are more, especially to the north of Lanzarote. There is the Chinijo archipelago, made up of several islands, among which La Graciosa and Alegranza stand out.
All that maritime and land complex is declared a natural park, and is called Chinijo Natural Park. Its protection area reaches up to Caleta Famara, which is integrated into the protected area.
The municipality of Teguise
If, due to its natural values, Caleta de Famara is part of the natural park, from an administrative point of view, it is integrated into the municipality of Teguise. This is a territory in the northernmost part of the island, and that of course you have to visit to appreciate and marvel at the magic that is hidden in almost every corner of Lanzarote.
This region is known worldwide for its volcanoes, but it has other extraordinary landscapes and places to offer. For example, this is the case of Caleta de Famara.
Caleta de Famara
This small town is a surprise from the first moment. To begin with, because it will surprise you that almost all its streets are still made of sand.
The asphalt is scarce, and without a doubt what some consider a backwardness, in reality is a sign of a different life, since it gives us an idea of the paradisiacal and calm character of this place, where the important thing is to enjoy the views, the time or the beach.
These pleasant sensations are then prolonged in the sites where meals are offered to visitors. The establishments of this site have the best of the gastronomy of the Canary Islands, that is to say that here there are many dishes made with seafood. We can taste exquisite and super-fresh fish and seafood.
Famara beach
Another reason to visit Caleta de Famara is to enjoy its beach, an idyllic place. Obviously, it is a place that you can go as a family, if you are traveling with children, so that the smallest of the house have a very different idea from the most crowded beaches.
Also, possibly Caleta de Famara and its beach is an ideal visit for couples in love. Even more so if you sit here to enjoy the sunset. More romantic, impossible!
To ride the waves
Not everything is contemplation on this beach. A very common activity in Caleta de Famara is to go for a walk around the Risco de Famara to have a view of the most beautiful of this north coast of Lanzarote.
However, if your thing more than hiking is water sports, you should also point Caleta de Famara among your next destinations. Even more so if you are passionate about surfboards and kitesurfing sails . The wind and wave conditions make this Lanzarote area fantastic for both water sports.
Discover the north of Lanzarote
We hope it has become clear that Lanzarote is more than just its famous Timanfaya Fire Mountains. There is much to enjoy on this island, from the legacy of the artist César Manrique, spread throughout the island, to places as captivating as Caleta de Famara.
It is a simply unforgettable landscape for anyone who discovers it, and especially if you enjoy its beautiful sunsets over the sea from there. An indelible memory of this trip!
