Lanzarote has a wealth of options for a day out while on holiday. In this post we aim to show you what locals do and where they go.

Start your day with a wonderful breakfast on your terrace at Finca Malvasia. You can make your own or our local bakery has everything you could wish for when it comes to breakfast. All home baked, they provide a great selection of fresh bread, croissants, filled sandwiches and rolls, homemade Spanish tortilla, fresh Spanish orange juice and more. Just 5 minutes away you can pick up and relax looking over the Vines and Volcanoes back at the Finca.

Pack up a beach bag and get on the road to the local Farmers Market at Mancha Blanca. The historic church is open for service if you wish and the market is open selling wonderful fruit, vegetables, cheese, bread, cakes, pastries, wines etc. Its a great place to gather all the ingredients for a great beach picnic lunch.

Once you’re stocked up with all your goodies head to one of Lanzarote’s wonderful golden sandy beaches. Famara is a good choice and certainly where locals head. Famara is known for its surf community and its huge imposing cliffs and long sandy beach that will certainly impress. The vibe here is surf action, beach football or just pure relaxation. You can rent a surf board in the village and take to the waves or just read your book and people watch while you picnic. 

Later in the day if you’ve had enough sun, the Village of Caleta De Famara offers some great post beach options. Le Mar Cafe owned by Tommy a local surfer who grew up in Famara offers great drinks and cocktails, Poke bowls, healthy salads and burgers. 

Alternatively, there’s a great Chiringuito (beach bar) where you can sit with your feet in the sand and eat fresh fish or relax with a G&T.

On your way home, probably very tired, you’ll be driving back into the sunset as you head back to Finca Malvasia for a dip in the pool!
