Canarian culture is unique and diverse, with a long heritage of music, dance, and cuisine rooted in both Spanish and African influences. On this half-day tour, you'll take in Lanzarote's dramatic landscapes as you visit cultural sites and a winery. Alvaro, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At the winery you'll be treated to a performance of timple music. The timple is a small stringed instrument traditional to the Canaries, like a mini guitar. It's the classic sound of the islands.'
To begin the tour, we'll visit the stirring Monumento al Campesino, created by one of Lanzarote's most celebrated artists, César Manrique. This 15-metre-tall sculpture pays homage to the island's hardworking farmers.Here, join a 'mojo' workshop to learn how to make this iconic Canary Islands condiment using fresh, local ingredients like garlic, olive oil, cumin, and paprika. Next, you'll head to Bodega Suarez, a countryside winery. As you sip and savour local wines, a local musician will play the timple. Alvaro adds, ‘Tasting local wine while listening to timple music is a real flavour of traditional Canarian life.'
We'll then stop to admire the serene chapel known as Ermita de los Dolores in Mancha Blanca. This tranquil spot offers a glimpse into the island's religious traditions. After the chapel visit, it's time for a tasty lunch of authentic local dishes at Los Dolores Restaurant. Freshly prepared with local produce, this is a meal which showcases the island's culinary heritage.
