Tahíche
Located under a volcano of the same name, Tahiche has a very varied cultural, social, gastronomic and sports offer. In addition, its proximity to Arrecife, the capital of the island, means that it has very good transport connections and is well supplied at all times.
Where is Tahíche?
Tahiche is a village in the municipality of Teguise, in the central north of Lanzarote. This small but pretty village is surrounded by volcanic landscapes and is noted for its unique farming fields. It is also home to the island’s university.
Around Tahiche you can also see spectacular lava flows which are from an eruption in 1730.
What to see in Tahíche?
Tahiche is a place of huge cultural interest with different notable associations and institutions. The Fundación César Manrique studies, conserves, and displays the great artist’s works while also promoting art, culture, and environmental protection through different projects, exhibitions, and publications.
Due to its natural form and changing colour throughout the year, it is also worth seeing the volcanic crater named after César Manrique. The top floor of the building is a clear example of the island’s traditional architecture but with modern touches such as huge windows and large open rooms.

The best food in Tahíche
In Tahiche, as with anywhere else on the island of Lanzarote, you can enjoy a wide range of indigenous fresh produce with traditional flavours.
However, there is one place that stands out from all the others: Los Aljibes de Tahiche. Its popularity is in part down to the great and unrivalled work of César Manrique on its architecture. It was bult in 1976.
Today this space is used as a culture centre and hosts a variety of exhibitions. The space also offers food at its restaurant specialising in grilled meats.
