Volcanoes, Manrique and the north you keep missing
Based in Haría, Lanzarote.
Noa came over from Utrecht to catalogue the César Manrique sites and stayed in Haría, walking the palm valley and the Famara cliffs most weeks. They plan routes around the Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes timed entries and the Órzola ferry to La Graciosa, and they road-test every drive before putting it in an itinerary.

The green lagoon at El Golfo is free, and you look down at it from the clifftop. Time a November morning around it, then eat in the village afterwards.

The coach route, the one ranger-led walk inside the restricted park, and the free craters you can climb on your own. Tickets and timings decide the order you do them in.

The coves inside Los Ajaches are busiest while the launches are anchored off them. That leaves two clear windows in the day, and four quieter beaches behind the gate.
