Discovering Haría: A Family Adventure in Lanzarote’s Hidden Gems
Our recent family adventure in Haría, Lanzarote, was a delightful blend of natural beauty, cultural exploration, and fun-filled activities. Join us as we recount our unforgettable day with Lola, our charming guide.
A Warm Welcome to Haría
As a mother of three and a travel writer, I am always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that offer both fun and learning opportunities. Our recent trip to Haría in Lanzarote was nothing short of magical, and I am thrilled to share our experience with you. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Lola, our charming and knowledgeable guide, who made us feel right at home. Her passion for the island was infectious, and she was determined to make our day unforgettable.
Our first stop was the picturesque town of Haría, where we explored the local square and food market. The vibrant colors and enticing aromas were a feast for the senses, and my children were fascinated by the variety of fresh produce and local delicacies. It was a perfect opportunity to teach them about the importance of supporting local farmers and artisans, and they eagerly sampled the delicious treats on offer.
Exploring Natural Wonders
Next, we headed to the Mirador Del Rio, where we were treated to breathtaking views of the island of La Graciosa. The natural beauty of the Risco de Famara was truly awe-inspiring, and we took plenty of photos to capture the moment. Lola’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the area made the experience even more enriching, and my children were captivated by her stories of the island’s history and culture.
Our adventure continued with a visit to the Bodega de Ye, the oldest winery on the island. Here, we had the chance to taste traditional Canarian tapas and local wines, as well as cactus and palm liqueurs. The kids enjoyed sampling the homemade cheeses and jams, and it was a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to the art of winemaking. The friendly staff at the winery made us feel welcome, and we left with a newfound appreciation for the island’s culinary heritage.
Fun in the Sun
The highlight of our day was undoubtedly the visit to Playa del Caleton Blanco, a pristine white sand beach with turquoise waters. The kids couldn’t wait to splash around in the natural marsh, and I was more than happy to join them. It was a perfect spot for a family picnic, and we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon soaking up the sun and playing in the sand.
Our final stop was the Piscinas Naturales de Punta Mujeres, where we had the chance to swim in the fascinating lava pools. The crystal-clear waters were refreshing, and the unique landscape provided a stunning backdrop for our family photos. Lola’s attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of our adventure through photos and videos was a wonderful bonus, and we were thrilled to receive them later that day.
In conclusion, our North Tour of Haría was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. Lola’s warmth, expertise, and dedication to providing a memorable day made it a truly special adventure for our family. We can’t wait to return and explore more of Lanzarote with her guidance. If you’re looking for a family-friendly tour that offers a perfect blend of fun, education, and relaxation, I highly recommend this tour.
