Walking on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura : Including sections of the GR131 long-distance trail

Explore two of the Canary Islands' most contrasting landscapes, from Lanzarote's otherworldly volcanic terrain and famous vineyards at La Geria to Fuerteventura's sweeping golden beaches and recently cleared mountain paths. This Cicerone guidebook describes 45 walks across both islands and Isla La Graciosa, ranging from 5 to 22km (3–14 miles) and suitable for walkers of all abilities. Routes start from coastal resorts and inland villages, following waymarked trails through volcanic landscapes, along dramatic coastlines, and into Fuerteventura's mountain interior, with highlights including the UNESCO-listed Timanfaya volcanic national park and the vineyards of La Geria.

The guide includes 21 day walks plus 14 stages of the GR131, the long-distance trail spanning all seven Canary Islands. This section covers 241km (150 miles) in total, offering an immersive, island-crossing trek through the eastern Canaries. Every route features clear descriptions, practical information boxes covering distance, walking time, terrain and facilities, and 1:50,000 mapping with step-by-step directions to help you navigate with confidence.

Plan your walking adventure for the ideal season with guidance on local conditions, showing why September to April offers the best walking weather with cooler temperatures, occasional winter greenery, and wildflowers in February and March. The guide also provides comprehensive holiday planning advice for both islands, including accommodation, food and drink, public transport, and key centres from Arrecife and Costa Teguise on Lanzarote to Morro Jable and Corralejo on Fuerteventura.
