Visit La Graciosa Island
Graciosa Island or commonly La Graciosa (meaning the joke) is another volcanic island in the Canary Islands. It is located 2 km north of the island of Lanzarote across the Strait of El Río. This island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago and the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park.
Gazing from the coastline of the Risco de Famara (the Famara cliffs) at the most beautiful and serene island in the Chinijo Archipelago, the sights of the golden beaches, the canary cottages and swimming in the turquoise sea that caresses its shores, are all irrestistable. This island is for special travellers, those who are sensitive enough to enjoy its nature, silence, beauty, and of course the sun and the secluded beaches.
La Graciosa is one of the last places in Europe with no asphalted roads. It is the least explored and most peaceful and serene of the Canary Islands.
Access to the island is by Ferry from Lanzarote and is a delightul 25 minute ride across the clear waters of the Atlantic ocean. Although there is a small heliport for emergencies, La Graciosa can only be reached by boat. There is a liner shipping that crosses the strait separating it from Lanzarote, known as El Río. There are boats going every hour.
