Graciosa Island

The island of La Graciosa is a unique natural park located in the northern part of the island of Lanzarote, and it is the only inhabited island of the Chinijo archipelago.

The catamaran, which takes you to the island, leaves from the small marine town of Orzola, and the journey is about 20 minutes long. The views are spectacular, the boat rocks a bit, but it doesn’t stop you from taking pictures of the landscape.

We arrived to the town of Caleta de Sebo, with a small port and beach safe from the strong winds, where you find a few white houses, a supermarket, coffee shops and a restaurant. We went to the next golden sand beach in order to get to know a bit better the island. It had calm and clean waters, but the wind was so strong that it forced us to go back to the town of Caleta de Sebo.

The journey from Lanzarote to La Graciosa takes about 25 minutes, and a lifetime of memories. Those ve have been there know that it is a treasure that few have shared.

It has dream beaches, a few bars and lots and lots of sand. The only towns are Caleta de Sebo and Pedro Barba, and both are fishing towns. You can camp, dive, cycle, hike, observe birds, be in the beach, trek…

The first time that I went to La Graciosa, I was 23 years old. I went with two friends and it was an adventure since we decided to go camping. Today, I am 30 and I have been there nine times and in a month it will be the tenth time. La Graciosa is a magical place, where you can find peace, tranquility, nice beaches, relax…everything next to nature.

Today I stay in apartments, since they have restricted the camping areas, but it is still wonderful. I recommend that you go for many days, to really enjoy the island.
