10 Walks in Lanzarote

Submitted by Jules on Thu, 15/07/2010 - 18:16.

Red_de_senderos_turísticos_y_recreativos_de_Lanzarote The Cabildo de Lanzarote have released details of 10 walks around the island where they are going to create signposted footpaths. The new routes “Red de Senderos Turísticos y Recreativos de Lanzarote” will total a distance of 147 km and are spread out around Lanzarote. The budget of €80,000 Euros has already been raised and the work should be finished during the month of September 2010.

The individual footpaths will be less than 50km in length so that it is possible to walk each one of them within a day. The routes will take walkers through diverse areas of Lanzarote allowing them to see the different landscapes, experience the local culture and enjoy the gastronomy of the island.

Information board Signposts

The routes are being created according to the guidelines set out by the Federación Europea de Montañismo with little disruption to the environment and through designated public land. At the start and end of each footpath will be an information board with details on flora, fauna and places of interest to watch out for during that walk as well as the distance, level of difficulty and height covered on the route.
