Camino de los Gracioseros - Part II

Old photographs led us to the women of La Graciosa, whose journeys carried far more than fish and salt. Behind every basket was a home, a tomorrow and a story worth hearing.

Camino de los Gracioseros. Part I

A walk down the Famara cliffs brought us to Playa del Risco and the abandoned salt pans of Salinas del Río. The climb back brought questions that followed us home.

Otro Mundo. The Old House

An unfamiliar path, a valley of unexpected colours and an abandoned house. A Sunday walk with Tarzan became a reflection on the people who once called this landscape home.

Wabi-Sabi: What Lanzarote Taught Us About Imperfection

We moved to Lanzarote thinking we had found our Otro Mundo. What followed was a quiet lesson in letting go — of expectations, perfect walls and the need to fix everything.

Lanzarote. Wabi-Sabi Island

A vegetable stall at Haría’s Saturday market offered an unexpected way to understand Lanzarote. Beyond the postcard views lies a quieter beauty — weathered, imperfect and alive.

When Lanzarote Begins to Glow

On the night of San Juan, bonfires begin glowing across Lanzarote before people make their way to the Atlantic at midnight. A night of fire, ocean and traditions that still bring the island together.

Every Sunday in Mancha Blanca

Every Sunday we drive across Lanzarote to the agricultural market in Mancha Blanca. What began as shopping has become a ritual built around local produce, familiar faces and the island’s changing seasons.

Beyond Hygge

For years, we thought hygge lived inside our home. Slowly, we began to recognise the same sense of peace in Guatiza, in our neighbours and in everyday life.

The Cave

An extraordinary low tide revealed a cave we had never seen before. Inside stood two people holding each other as if, for a moment, the rest of the world could wait.

The Same Island. Two Completely Different Journeys.

The same island can offer two completely different journeys. Sometimes discovering Lanzarote means slowing down, taking a detour and saying yes to an unexpected invitation.

Some People Collect Michelin Stars. We Collect Tele Clubs.

Some people collect Michelin stars. We collect the places introduced to us by local friends — including the Tele Club in Guatiza, where one honest sentence changed how we saw Lanzarote.

Tarzan

Tarzan spent seven years in a makeshift shelter, never knowing walks, toys or affection. His journey into another world became part of our own — and a reminder that what we were really searching for was not happiness, but peace.

The Quieter Side of Lanzarote

Beyond Lanzarote’s resorts lies a quieter island of volcanic landscapes, empty paths and unexpected places — discovered by slowing down rather than following a guidebook

Otro Mundo es Posible

Fifteen years ago, a neighbour with a key, a freshly made paella and four words painted on a bridge began a relationship with Lanzarote that would change our lives.
