Lanzarote: Northern Cliffs & Valleys Hike with Handicraft Market

Walk the Cliffs Above La Graciosa, Then Browse Haria's Saturday Market

You're picked up from your hotel and driven to Maguez, where a local guide leads a moderate 45-minute walk through valleys to the cliffs of Archipelago Chinijo Natural Park overlooking La Graciosa Island. After the viewpoint, you descend to Haria village to explore the island's only handicraft market (Saturdays), browse local cheese and sauces, then return by minivan. Light refreshments and bottled water are included throughout.

The experience

Your guide picks you up from your accommodation and drives toward Maguez, a quiet village where the walk actually begins. On the way, you'll notice how the landscape shifts: the volcanic terrain opens up, and the air changes. The hike itself is moderate, about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the group's pace and how long you linger at the viewpoints. You're crossing through valleys, moving toward the edge of the Archipelago Chinijo Natural Park, where the cliffs drop away and you can see La Graciosa Island and Penedo Bay spread out below. If the wind isn't too strong that day, this becomes the kind of stop where nobody wants to leave.

After the cliffs, the route heads down to Haria, a village that sits at the bottom of the One Thousand Palm Tree Valley, and yes, the palms are actually there, which is unusual enough on Lanzarote that it feels deliberate. On Saturdays, the village hosts the island's only handicraft market. You'll find local goat cheese, homemade jams, traditional mojos (Canarian sauces), and the kind of small goods that people actually make rather than import. There's no pressure to buy. Plenty of travelers just sit at one of the small cafés, order a drink, and watch the market happen around them. The guide knows the vendors and can point out what's worth trying.

The walk back to Maguez is the reverse route, and by then you've already seen the best of it. Transport is by air-conditioned minivan, which matters because the northern coast can get warm even when the wind is up. Walking poles are available if you want them: useful on the steeper sections. The whole experience, from pickup to drop-off, takes most of a morning or early afternoon. Weather can shift quickly in the north, so the operator runs in all conditions. Bring layers and a windproof jacket just in case.
