Just 2 kilometers away from Lanzarote we find La Graciosa, an island of only 29.05 km² and a population of less than a thousand people. It is a small portion of desert in the middle of the ocean, in the protected area of the Chinijo archipelago. If you have the need to reconnect with nature, in this magical island you will fulfill your dreams. Imagine yourself on a beach with hardly any people, totally natural, without umbrellas and plastic hammocks spoiling the views ... a magnificent haven of peace and tranquility where you can immerse yourself in refreshing crystalline waters. Do not you think it's a perfect place to put the finishing touch to your holidays in the Canary Islands? If you still do not have it clear, keep reading!
We assure you that La Graciosa is completely unique, the most arid and inhospitable of the islands, paradoxically has a great marine biodiversity and houses many birds in danger of extinction. On the other hand, life on earth is a bit more difficult. It is some local fishermen who live there permanently, as the population has gradually abandoned the island for the comforts offered by the neighboring island. Undoubtedly, this place is made for the simple life lover, who enjoys small gifts of nature and does not need large possessions to be happy. This is why the “gracioseros” will make you feel like one of them, without any kind of presumption. There, in the port of Caleta de Sebo and in the small town of Pedro Barba, the two population centers of the island, you will find modest accommodations and all the minimum services for tourists to spend some unforgettable days.
Also, La Graciosa keeps incredible stories that include buried treasures. That’s because centuries ago, this was a hiding place for pirates! A dangerous and mysterious place where the barbarians apparently hid their precious possessions. Later in time, the people from Lanzarote also took the island to protect themselves from the eruptions. Due to the proximity of these two territories, trips have always been frequent thanks to water taxis. This is how we will arrive, because in La Graciosa there is no more infrastructure than a small port.
Many tourists describe the trip as an adventure that is worth running for the jewel that is at the end of the road. Some say it is one of the most romantic corners of Europe and do not lack reason, since the atmosphere that is created from the sunset is captivating. Your presence there will make you understand that true luxury is in the enjoyment of the simple: the pleasure of a dinner in good company. You can taste the freshest delicacies such as freshly caught fresh fish accompanied by the best rosé wine in an idyllic place on the shores of the Atlantic. Let yourself be carried away by sensations and discover your new favorite place in the world. What are you waiting for to go to La Graciosa? Contact us!
