La Graciosa is an island belonging to the municipality of Teguise. In 2018 it was recognised as being the eighth most inhabited island in the Canaries. Nevertheless, in terms of administration it belongs to the municipality. La Graciosa is also part of the Chinijo Archipelago, together with the islets Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste and Alegranza.
This small island is locally known as “The Little Treasure”. La Graciosa is a natural gem that locals have kept unspoilt. It is sparsely inhabited, there are no paved roads, and no pollution. If you add this to its blissful beaches, its wistful and beautiful landscapes, and its year-round exceptional climate, this island really is a unique destination if you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle and connect with nature.
La Graciosa is located to the North of Lanzarote, separated by 1km of sea known as “El Río” and relatively close to the African coast. It is the smallest of the Canary Islands, at around 29km² and it is also the least inhabited, with only 700 people living between its two villages of Caleta de Sebo and Pedro Barba.
La Graciosa has six beaches. We have listed three here which will take your breath away.
La Graciosa has a small museum, El Museo Chinijo located in Caleta de Sebo. Here you can find out about the island’s culture and history.
In terms of cuisine, the local product is fresh fish. You can find it in any restaurant in Caleta de Sebo. Some of the most popular fish are red porgy or moray eel, always served with traditional products such as gofio, wrinkled potatoes and / or mojo.
The only populated area of La Graciosa is Caleta del Sebo. This is where the island’s stores are concentrated. It has several supermarkets where you can buy the basic products to be able to enjoy several days in La Graciosa. There are also bicycle rental establishments. Cycling routes are one of the main attractions of the islands.
The best time of the year to visit La Graciosa is between May and September. The summer months, thanks to its island climate, are milder, with temperatures ranging between 20 and 23 degrees. From October onwards, the rain begin to fall, which allows the cultivated lands to be maintained.
The most popular local fiesta is for the Virgen del Carmen, who is the patron saint of the Sea and fishermen. On 16th July, a procession for the Virgin takes place from a boat out at sea.
