San Bartolomé

The village that represents the two faces of the island

Formerly known as Ajei (small village), San Bartolomé is one of the smallest municipalities of Lanzarote and one of the most unique, as it embodies the two faces of Lanzarote. To the north, there are fields of crops, while to the south you can see the volcanic origins of the Canary Islands. The village has several monuments that are worth a visit: the Casa Palacio del Mayor Guerra, declared a historical artistic monument, or the Casa Ajei, a beautiful example of the popular rural architecture of the time.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
