Departing from the port and without leaving Arrecife, the island's capital, you can enjoy a revitalising dip at a magnificent and well-tended urban beach with 500 metres of fine, golden sand.

Lanzarote retains the mark and the spirit of César Manrique (1919-1992), who used the scenery of this volcanic island of exceptional beauty as a canvas —the most important one— for his art.

Approximately 20 minutes from the port where cruise liners arriving in Lanzarote berth, the Cactus Garden, in the municipality of Teguise, is well worth a visit.

Fans of gardening, in particular, and nature, in general, will acknowledge the great botanical value of its cactus collection.

Access to this area is controlled (you have to pay an admission fee) and you can only enter in a private vehicle or on foot to very limited areas.

In the north-west of the island of Lanzarote, barely half an hour from the port of Arrecife, there are 5 endless kilometres of golden sand, known as Famara Beach. It is located within the Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve, between the fishing village of La Caleta de Famara and the base of the impressive Famara Cliffs. At low tide, when the water forms a thin layer on the sand and reflects the sky and the cliffs like a giant mirror, we can appreciate all the beauty of this wild, free beach even
