With up to nine ferries a day from Orzola in the Lanzarote, the volcanic island of La Graciosa has never been easier to visit from Lanzarote. Enjoy a comfy and scenic 30-minute journey over with the family-run Biosfera Express ferry service and explore the most rustic of the Canary Islands.
There are no cars or paved paths in La Graciosa – but there are four volcanoes and countless virgin beaches. Which is why a visit is a must when staying in Lanzarote. You'll arrive in Caleta del Sebo, the larger of the two settlements on the island. With its sandy streets, whitewashed houses, it's like something from a Spaghetti Western.
You can choose between a day at one of the island's beaches – think golden sands washed by turquoise waters or maybe a hike inland to one of the volcanoes. The twin craters of El Mojon and La Aguja are a half-hour walk or so away from the village. You'll soon discover why unspoiled La Graciosa is the centrepiece of the Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve.
