The most coastal excursion of Lanzarote leads to corners difficult to forget and that prove the special relationship of the island with art, both human and natural.

If countless botanists have marveled for centuries upon contemplating the north of Tenerife, tourists today have it much easier; not only in feeling the same way, but travelling by car through a region with many botanical, heritage, gastronomic and oceanic treasures in a single day. This route begins in Puerto de la Cruz, one of the cradles of tourism in Spain, and leads first to La Orotava, which enjoys one of the most relevant historical centers of the Canary Islands along with excellent views of the Teide and the pine forest. The excursion is worthwhile for this alone.

La Burrera, one of the best dives in the Canary Islands, is a reward for the experienced diver and lover of marine life. It is a reward because it needs the right ocean and current conditions, and also because the dive is spectacular, as much for its marine life as for its labyrinthine landscape which the diver will find 20 metres below the surface. It is a half an hour boat ride from the village of Caleta de Sebo, on the island of La Graciosa, to the north of Lanzarote.
