HISTORY OF LANZAROTE: DISCOVER ARRECIFE

Arrecife became the capital of Lanzarote in the second half of the 19th century, thus leaving aside its fishing and seafaring past. Not everything was erased from the collective memory, as we still have memories of that past that was so important for the entire island of Lanzarote.

In this activity of Connect With Lanzarote activity we are going to focus on the island's economy prior to the tourist boom and thus understand the figure of the Arrecife carnival: the buches.

A walk through the streets of the historic center to relive that past and those days of festivities when fishermen came back home.

LANZAROTE AND THE WATER CULTURE

On an island with only about 20 days of rain a year, it is difficult to supply water to a population of more than 150 thousand inhabitants, to which more than 2,000 tourists are added daily. How is it done then? How was it done before?

On this hiking route through Tahiche we discover the most important hydraulic work in Lanzarote: the construction of an aqueduct. Why has it been built? What had to be its function?

While we discovered the culture of water, we also climbed one of the oldest volcanoes in Lanzarote, the Montaña de Ubique, surrounded by lava and crop areas.

HIKING BETWEEN VALLEYS AND RAVINS IN LANZAROTE

Discover the beauty of northern Lanzarote on a circular route from the town of Haria. Discover the history, culture, architecture and - above all - the rich vegetation of this peculiar corner of the north of Lanzarote.

After a walk around the thousand palm trees valley, we return to the town of Haria where we will have the opportunity to visit the artisans' workshops and learn about the traditions of the island.

The route begins with a small hill where we will take the opportunity to take breaks and enjoy the views while we talk about the endemic and native vegetation that we find along the way.

This small effort is worth it since we will reach a viewpoint from where we will enjoy the views of the entire west coast of Lanzarote.

It is after this break that we begin the descent towards the town of Haria, crossing the area with the most vegetation per m2 in all the island.

Teguise: the Vega of San José

One of the little-known areas of Lanzarote, not far from the old capital. A corner full of history and with an important ethnographic heritage.

From the outskirts of Teguise we start walking along part of the historic path that linked Orzola with Playa Blanca. Depending on the season in which you do the experience, the vegetation changes in a surprising way, a sign of the fertility of these lands, which are covered with a green mantle after a few days of rain.

The first stop will be where the old Cortijo de San José and the hermitage of the same name were located. Here we discover the history of the modern era of Lanzarote, its religious traditions, but also the rural reality of the island of volcanoes.

We continue crossing the valley and we will have the opportunity to talk about the different systems of growing crops used by the farmers of Lanzarote.

Flora and geology come together to fill this corner with a special magic. Natural species that grow on land that is formed by the accumulation of sedimentary material from the erosion of the Famara Massif.

In the second part of the walk, a spectacular surprise awaits us before arriving at LTeguise and discovering the lime kilns and another of the hermitages of the ancient capital of Lanzarote.

Once in Teguise, we will take the opportunity to taste its typical cuisine or to visit the art gallery or the small artisan shops.
