Description
The landscape and the journey
Paddy Dillon combines Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes and vineyards with Fuerteventura’s beaches, open country and mountain paths. La Graciosa adds further options, whether you want resort-based outings or extended days walking.
Routes and itinerary options
The 45 numbered routes include standalone day walks and GR131 stages. Lanzarote’s long route links Playa Blanca and Órzola; Fuerteventura coverage connects areas from Jandía to Corralejo and Isla de Lobos. Choose shorter outings or larger island crossings.
Maps and practical planning
Maps and descriptions accompany transport, accommodation, food and facilities information, with separate island introductions. Geology, nature and places such as La Geria add context to the routes. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Rocky, steep ground occurs on coast and mountains. Consider wind, limited shade, heat and distance together. Cooler months often suit walking; winter rain may bring greener scenery and flowers. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
