La Graciosa, a wild and unspoiled gem of the Canary Islands

Among the gems of the Canary Islands lies La Graciosa, an enchanting and solitary island that attracts travelers in search of tranquility and authenticity. Located north of the island of Lanzarote, separated by a stretch of sea called El Río, La Graciosa is a strip of land with an area of about 11 square miles and just over 700 inhabitants, a corner of paradise with wild beaches, often deserted and surrounded by breathtaking volcanic landscapes. A small, unspoiled Eden with a consistently mild climate, no paved roads, or pollution, where movement is mainly on foot or by bicycle. An approach to ecotourism that has made the island the ideal choice for those seeking an experience far from the noises of modernity.



La Graciosa was declared a natural reserve in 1986, and in 1995 it was designated as part of the Chinijo Archipelago National Park. This conservation status reflects the commitment of local authorities to protect the rich biodiversity of the island and its unique ecosystems. A true natural sanctuary, where it's possible to spot rare species of seabirds, such as the Audouin's gull, which has created its natural habitat here. Caleta del Sebo is the main settlement on the island and serves as the main port. A village that, with its white houses of traditional architecture and its small restaurants offering freshly caught local fish, contributes to the island's characteristic charm.



Outdoor enthusiasts seeking a connection with nature will find La Graciosa the perfect destination. The island offers opportunities for panoramic hikes, walks along the coast, and bike rides through fascinating wild landscapes. The surrounding waters are ideal for snorkeling, windsurfing, and fishing. Playa de las Conchas beach is particularly renowned for its white sand, bathed by incredibly clear and crystalline waters. Timeless beauty, a slow-paced life, and the environmental conservation of the island represent an authentic escape from the modern world. The ideal refuge for a rejuvenating vacation, where you can enjoy the eternal spring of the wonderful Canary Islands archipelago.
