Discovering Haría: A Family Adventure

Our journey began in the charming town of Haría, nestled in the northern part of Lanzarote. Known for its lush greenery and traditional Canarian architecture, Haría is a delightful place to explore with children. The town square buzzes with life, and the local food market offers a sensory feast of colors and aromas. My kids were fascinated by the variety of fresh produce and local crafts, and it was a perfect opportunity to teach them about the importance of supporting local artisans.

We then made our way to the Mirador Del Rio, a viewpoint that offers breathtaking vistas of the island of La Graciosa. The panoramic views from the Risco de Famara are nothing short of spectacular. It’s a great spot for family photos, and my children were thrilled to spot the tiny island in the distance. The natural beauty of the area is a wonderful reminder of the diverse landscapes that Lanzarote has to offer.

A Taste of Tradition in Ye

Our next stop was the quaint village of Ye, where we indulged in Canarian tapas and sampled local wines. The Bodega de Ye, the oldest winery on the island, was a highlight of our visit. Here, we tasted traditional wines and unique liqueurs made from cactus and palm. The kids enjoyed trying the homemade cheeses and jams, and it was a fun way to introduce them to the rich culinary heritage of the Canaries.

Lola, our guide, was a treasure trove of stories and local knowledge. Her engaging storytelling brought the history and culture of the region to life, making the experience both educational and entertaining for the whole family. Her warmth and humor made us feel like we were exploring the island with an old friend.

Sun, Sand, and Lava Pools

No family trip to Lanzarote would be complete without a visit to the beach, and Playa del Caleton Blanco did not disappoint. The pristine white sands and turquoise waters were a hit with the kids, who spent hours building sandcastles and splashing in the gentle waves. It’s a perfect spot for a family picnic, and we enjoyed a leisurely lunch while soaking up the sun.

Our adventure concluded at the natural lava pools of Punta Mujeres. These fascinating formations are a testament to the island’s volcanic origins and offer a unique swimming experience. The kids were amazed by the crystal-clear waters and the chance to swim in such a unique setting. It was a fitting end to a day filled with discovery and delight.

This North Tour was a perfect blend of relaxation, education, and adventure, making it an ideal choice for families looking to explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of Lanzarote. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or new to the island, this tour offers something for everyone, and I can’t recommend it enough for a memorable family getaway.
