La Vegueta
Surrounded by volcanoes, La Vegueta has spectacular views and a wide range of outdoor activities. The fertile volcanic soil gives the municipality an extensive agricultural tradition that has been maintained for generations and has been well represented in the gastronomy of the region.
Where is La Vegueta?
La Vegueta is a town located in the northeast of the island. It belongs to the municipality of Tinajo and is in the shadow of the impressive Timanfaya volcanos. It is known for its farming and volcanic terrain which make La Vegueta one of the best towns to walk or cycle around in Lanzarote.

The best food in La Vegueta
In La Vegueta we recommend the restaurant Las Cadenas. It is on the way to the highway which joins La Vegueta with Mancha Blanca, so is the perfect spot to have lunch at and to then continue to explore the island. The house favourites are grilled meats such as suckling pig and goat, always accompanied with a good side of papas arrugadas con mojo and the best cheese in Lanzarote.

La Vegueta does not have any shops but is just a few minutes from Tinajo and Mancha Blanca where you can get everything you need for your adventures around the island. On Sundays there is a really good farmers’ market in Mancha Blanca where you can try all sorts of local produce.
