Mozaga

Mozaga is a small town in the middle of the island which is divided between the two municipalities of Teguise and San Bartolome. This unique feature means that Mozaga is part of the unique landscape of La Geria, a truly special place thanks to the tireless work of the island’s locals who work the land and take care of the environment.

The inhabitants of Mozaga are dedicated to working their land, and this countryside tradition is clear to see here, especially in regard to vine growing. That is why we recommend visiting the following spots to discover the real spirit of the people of this charming town.

• Monumento al Campesino: This is the work of the local artist César Manrique. It is a homage from the famous sculptor to the men and women of the Lanzarote countryside. It is part of a set of tourist attractions across the island, and his impressive “Fecunidad” (Fertility) monument presides over the Tajaste crag.
  In addition to seeing this wonderful work of art, you can also visit the Campesino House Museum. This is a space that hosts a courtyard which is full of items and tools related to Lanzarote’s traditional farming culture.
• Bodega tours: There are various bodegas to visit in the town of Mozaga itself, but the Bodega Montaña Clara is the most famous due to its history and it is very popular among German tourists and residents.

The fiestas in honour of Santa Lucía are celebrated during the first two weeks of December. All types of events are held to bring together the inhabitants of Mozaga and visitors alike, with traditional games and folk festivals.
