Dive in an underwater museum
Did you know that Lanzarote is home to the only underwater museum in Spain? The Museo Atlántico, in Playa Blanca, has more than 300 sculptures underwater, at a depth of between 12-15 metres!
You’ll have to dive to be able to enjoy it. It’s an activity suitable for beginners, although you’ll have to do the corresponding course beforehand. It’s a real eye-opener and will raise your social awareness of the humanitarian crisis of migration on our coasts.
Visit the Piracy Museum
What impact did piracy have on the Spanish Empire? This is what you will find out during your visit to the Piracy Museum. Inside you can see some of the sabres, blunderbusses and cannons that were used to defend Lanzarote from corsairs during different periods.
Since it is located at the top of the Guanapay mountain, in a 15th century fortress, you will also be able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the coast.

It is located in the town of Tías and has a garden and olive trees which gave him refuge, inspiration and peace.
