Teseguite is a small municipality in Lanzarote, belonging to the locality of Teguise. Legend has it that this settlement dates back to the 16th Century, when Moorish slaves captured in Africa were sent here, to keep them separate from the residents of Teguise.
The records from the 19th Century speak of just a dozen inhabitants and it was thought that the town would disappear due to lack of Moorish people living there. However, today it is still here, as a sign of peace, where flocks of sheep and goats graze and the island’s traditional architecture is still maintained.

Teseguite is in the northeast of Lanzarote, just 5km from Teguise, the municipality to which it belongs.
