La Santa, on Lanzarote's northwest coast, is a village known for water sports, volcanic landscapes, and its popular sports resort, La Santa Sport.
Located on the northwest coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, La Santa is a small village known for water sports, especially surfing and windsurfing, thanks to the consistent Atlantic swells.
The La Santa Sport resort is an essential stop for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It has top-notch facilities for a range of sports including swimming, tennis, and, of course, surfing. Another point of interest is the natural tidal pools found along the coast. These pools provide a unique and safe way to enjoy the ocean waters without dealing with strong currents. Also worth visiting is the nearby Timanfaya National Park, where you can witness the Martian-like volcanic landscape that defines Lanzarote.
Local Nature
The village is surrounded by striking volcanic landscapes, making it a great base for outdoor activities. In addition to surfing and windsurfing, you can enjoy hiking and cycling routes that traverse the rugged terrain. The Caldereta Natural Monument, located close to La Santa, offers walking trails where you can explore volcanic craters and unique geological formations.
How to Get There and Get Around
You can fly into Lanzarote Airport near Arrecife and then drive approximately 30 kilometers to reach the village. Car rentals are available at the airport, making it convenient to explore the surrounding areas at your own pace. Public buses also connect La Santa with other major towns on the island, offering an alternative for those who prefer not to drive.
