Situated in the municipality of Yaiza, in the village of Playa Blanca, you will find the Natural Reserve of Los Ajaches, where you can find the best and most beautiful beaches on the island. Here you can find Playa Mujeres, which is the largest beach in this natural paradise. You can also visit Playa de Papagayo, Playa del Pozo or Puerto Muelas, the latter being a nudist beach.Papagayo Beach is a small cove with turquoise waters and surrounded by large cliffs. It is one of the most famous beaches in the Nature Reserve due to the spectacular scenery that can be seen both on the beach itself and in its depths. It is not for nothing that Lanzarote was declared Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO on 7 October 1993.
Mirador del Rio
Another of the island's must-see sights is located at the top of the Risco de Famara and is a panoramic viewpoint from which you can see the nearby and fortunate island of La Graciosa, the El Rio strait and the Chinijo archipelago.
