Scuba diving in Faro de Rasca

One of the most interesting volcanic landscapes in Tenerife is beneath the sea, facing the Rasca Lighthouse (Faro de Rasca) on the southernmost point of the island. Under the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic you’ll discover a series of submerged ravines created thousands of years ago by lava flows. As it cooled, this lava formed erratic structures like a prismatic flight of stairs, known in the Canary Islands as 'organs'. Punta de Rasca is also a hot spot of marine life that will delight experienced divers and underwater photographers.

Las Malvas Beach

Las Malvas Beach is a unique spot just 10 kilometres from the urban center of Tinajo. It’s a small cove of black sand which was made by the lava from Timanfaya. The profile of the volcanic mountains in the distance are great examples of the spectacular views available in Lanzarote. The beach location is open to the Atlantic Ocean which means the trade winds and waves are usually strong. Fortunately the spot has plenty of nooks and crannies to protect yourself from the wind. The beach isn’t usually very full, so it’s a good place to disconnect from the day-to-day. The volcanic landscape and the black sand also makes the area a top site for engaging photos.

Tijarafe - Porís de Candelaria

This is a circular route that runs along the rugged coast of Tijarafe and ends in Porís de Candelaria, one of the most authentic parts of the island.

Along the way, you will pass places such as Topo de Capote, Lomo del Viudo, Las Lajitas, Descansadero de la Higuera de Las Barqueras or the Cuevas de Los Barqueros until you reach Punta de las Salemas, before descending into Porís de Candelaria with its bay and caves.
