Güime

Güime is a town that belongs to the municipality of San Bartolomé, which is located in the central-southern area of the island. Its proximity to the airport and to coastal tourist areas such as Playa Honda or Puerto del Carmen makes this village an important place to spend your holidays on the island if you prefer a quiet place but close to the beach.

• Vega de Machín: A vega in the toponymy of Lanzarote is an area with a rich soil for cultivation. These are large areas with an important cultural tradition. For many years the farmers of Lanzarote made use of this land with a layer of volcanic ash to cultivate the island’s products such as wheat, millet, onions or potatoes. Güime, like other nearby villages, has a great agricultural tradition that you can’t miss if you prefer alternative routes in Lanzarote. Getting lost in the mountains in the centre of Lanzarote is a unique way of getting to know the purest soul of the island. The trails are perfectly marked out and from the village of Güime you can reach them by road without any difficulty, by car or by bike. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to meet a farmer and see how he ploughs the fields.

Güime dresses up the first week of June to celebrate the festival of San Antonio. The events that take place during this week are aimed at the enjoyment of parranda nights, open-air dances and sports tournaments. The perfect package to enjoy traditional Lanzarote activities in a friendly family atmosphere.
