St Patrick’s Day in Puerto del Carmen Lanzarote’s BIGGEST Irish Party

Stade Toulousain 59–26 Bristol Bears - Fan Reactions

Ever feel like you know a place well… until it shows you a completely different side?

In this Lanzarote travel vlog, we explore 3 stunning hidden gems that are often missed by tourists. From hiking down the cliffs to the secret Playa Bajo El Risco to discovering the unique volcanic formations of Las Grietas, this guide shows you a different side of the Canary Islands.

In this video, I’m heading off the beaten path to explore three unique places in Lanzarote I’ve never visited before, and each one turned out to be an unforgettable experience.

From the remote and dramatic Playa Bajo el Risco, tucked away beneath massive cliffs and only accessible by foot, to the quiet, local atmosphere of Tenesar, where time seems to slow down and island life feels beautifully simple.

The journey wraps up at Las Grietas, a surreal volcanic landscape where deep cracks in the earth create narrow passages that feel almost otherworldly.

Walking through these natural formations really shows how powerful and unique Lanzarote’s volcanic past is.

This video is all about exploration, first impressions, and discovering lesser-known corners of the island that don’t always make it into travel guides.

If you enjoy hidden gems, raw landscapes, and seeing destinations through fresh eyes, come along and explore this side of Lanzarote with me
