- Just 20 minutes from Villa Dédalos, in the south of Lanzarote, you will find the golden sandy beaches known as the Papagayo Beaches.
Lanzarote offers much more than beaches, and this island will not leave you indifferent; its volcanic landscapes, the result of very recent eruptions, give multicolored hues to its mountains, highlighting ochre, dark, and reddish tones that blend with the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean that bathes its coasts.
Discovering the diverse attractions of Lanzarote
But if you’re looking for something different than sunbathing on the beach, we’re going to recommend the best visits to make better use of your time, indicating them by areas so that you don’t waste your time going back and forth.
What to see and do in the SOUTH of Lanzarote
If you’re spending your vacation in the beautiful Villa Dédalos in Puerto Calero, then you’re in the south of Lanzarote, and these are the visits you can’t miss. Here are our recommendations:
- Timanfaya National Park
- El Golfo, also known as the Green Lake or Charco de los Clicos
- Los Hervideros + Janubio Salt Flats
- Punta de Papagayo Beaches
Recomendations:
Timanfaya National Park is the most visited attraction in all of Lanzarote, and you CAN’T LEAVE Lanzarote without having visited “The Mountains of Fire,” as this national park is also known.
If Lanzarote has a symbol, it’s the LITTLE DEVIL of Timanfaya National Park holding its name. This park is the second most visited national park in all the Canary Islands and the third in all of Spain, which is saying a lot, after Teide and the Picos de Europa.
Timanfaya National Park
If you want to save time and money, here’s a very good suggestion to better plan your day, better options, and excursions to discover the SOUTH of Lanzarote.
Beyond the south: exploring La Geria
Stepping a little out of the SOUTH OF LANZAROTE, and if you want to try their wines and see a unique landscape in the world, we recommend you make a stop at:
La Geria
La Geria is the most important wine-growing area on the island of Lanzarote, also known as the wine route. It has an area of 5,255.5 hectares and has the highest concentration of wine cellars in all the Canary Islands. In La Geria, you can taste some of the best wines, not only from the Canary Islands but perhaps also from Spain, highlighting its Malvasia grape white wines. Among other Cellars, we can highlight the cellars of Status, Rubicon, El Grifo, La Geria, Los Bermejos, where you can taste their well-known wines.
With these visits that we propose in the south of the island of Lanzarote, you will discover the most important attractions and sites in the south of the island of the volcanoes.
It is very difficult to see everything in a single day, so if you want not only to see but also to enjoy the Punta de Papagayo Beaches, it would be best to spend the entire day there.
