Exploring Las Salinas

One of the must-see destinations in southern Lanzarote is the striking Las Salinas, a series of natural saltwater pools nestled along the rugged coastline.

These pools were formed by volcanic activity and are fed by the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can explore the shallow pools, marvel at the striking white salt deposits, and enjoy panoramic views of the dramatic landscape.

The area is also home to a variety of birdlife, making it a popular spot for bird watching.

Las Salinas offers a unique and serene natural experience, allowing visitors to connect with Lanzarote’s stunning volcanic terrain.

The Unique Landscape of La Geria

Although Las Salinas offers a captivating natural experience, the unique landscape of La Geria presents a different side of Lanzarote’s volcanic terrain. This region is characterized by a patchwork of crescent-shaped hollows called "hoyos", where grape vines are cultivated in the island’s porous, black soil. The hoyos protect the vines from the constant winds, creating an otherworldly, almost lunar appearance. The vineyards of La Geria produce renowned Malvasia wines, which can be sampled during a wine tasting on the tour.
