The GM-2 road starts in the neighborhood of El Calvario, in San Sebastián, beginning a progressive ascent towards Degollada de Peraza (15 km away). We pass two lookout points: Lomada del Cabello and Sombrero, while the silhouette of the Teide emerges behind us. The place owes its name to the fact that it was here that the Gomero aborigines killed the bloodthirsty Count Hernán Peraza, governor of the island. Two hundred meters ahead is the La Laja Lookout Point, perched to the north over a deep ravine that tames its waters in the Izcagüe reservoir.

It offers incredible views of some of the island’s most famous landscapes, such as the Risco de la Foguera and the Roque Bentayga, a sacred place for the original inhabitants of the island as evidenced by the archaeological sites hidden inside it.

In the south of Lanzarote, opposite the bay of Las Coloradas, we find one of the world’s very few underwater museums: the Museo Atlántico.

Located beside the Marina Rubicón at a depth of just 12 metres, the impressive Museo Atlántico is within reach of divers of all levels.

Adventure park, role-playing games and escape room in Los Realejos – endless fun.

If you want to discover life in the workshops of professionals operating in the blacksmith, textile, wood and clay industries that existed in El Hierro’s past, there is nothing like visiting the old home of the Las Quinteras family.

The ethnographic samples—including pre-hispanic remains—have been collected by the island council. Handcrafted pieces are sold in the shop to promote the development of native crafts. The works on display show that contemporary artists from El Hierro continue the island’s philosophy of self-sufficiency and sustainability.
