La Graciosa, an island of the Canary Archipelago
La Graciosa is the tiny island off the northern tip of Lanzarote. With its unpaved roads and laid-back vibes. You won’t find any towering resorts or busy boulevards here. Instead, expect a landscape of volcanic hills, pale sandy shores.
And island under the radar
The island wasn’t officially recognized as inhabited until the late 19th century, and even today, the population remains modest. Most residents live in the island’s main settlement, Caleta del Sebo, a village of whitewashed houses and sandy streets. La Graciosa remained under the radar of even the most seasoned travelers, partly due to its isolation and lack of infrastructure. In fact, the island didn’t even have proper electricity until the 1980s. But that isolation is precisely what gives La Graciosa its charm. The rugged terrain, the soft crunch of volcanic sand underfoot, and the absence of noise (save for the wind and waves) offer a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find elsewhere.
The Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park
Wildlife lovers will also find themselves enchanted by La Graciosa’s biodiversity. The waters surrounding the island are part of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park, a protected area that boasts one of Europe’s richest marine ecosystems. It’s a reminder of how delicate and precious this part of the world truly is, with conservation efforts aimed at preserving its natural beauty for future generations.
