Best places in Lanzarote to enjoy fantastic a sundowner

duda • 8 June 2022

Sunsets over the West coast of Lanzarote are spectacular especially at Finca Malvasia which looks west toward the Timanfaya National Park. However if you fancy something a little bit further from the Finca, check out the following spots for a sunset tipple and nibble !

Las Dunas, Famara
Las Dunas is a great modern Canarian restaurant in Famara with and elevated position overlooking Famara Beach and out on to the outer island of La Graciosa. Very good cocktail list, lots of Gins to take your fancy or just a local vino or cerveza fit the bill, maybe stay and have dinner!  INSIDER  TIP: Great fish here, cooked to perfection, modern presentation.


El Chupadero

El Chupadero is a classic spot for a sundowner due to its position in the La Geria wine region facing directly west and looking over the Timanfaya National Park. They offer a great menu of Canarian Tapas, so if you fancy a snack of bubbling hot Albondigas (Spanish meat balls) or a simple plate of local cheese El Chupadero is a winner. INSIDER  TIP: Here you can get a wonderful local sweet Moscatel wine served with and orange slice. Wonderful with cheese or dessert...


 
El Golfo
Famous for its fish restaurants, the village of El Golfo is a must see stop off on the wild South West Coast of Lanzarote. We recommend Restaurante Mar Azul to guests but they're all pretty good to be honest. Simple dishes of fresh fish served with Canarian potatoes and Mojo ( a spicy Canarian sauce).  Here you can look directly out to sea as the Sun sets on the horizon. INSIDER  TIP:  Range Rover, Porsche, Bentley are just a few of the names who have made TV commercials on the long windy lava sided roads of El Golfo so you can imagine you're in a car commercial on your travels.


Mirador Del Rio
Cesar Manrique was responsible for creating Mirador del Rio as well as other architectural installations across Lanzarote. Mirador (look out point) del Rio overlooks the Atlantic channel or Rio between Lanzarote and the Island of La Graciosa. High up on Famara cliffs, it makes for a great sunset spot as the light sets over the outer Islands, most of which are uninhabited nature reserves.  INSIDER. TIP: Take a day ferry to from Orzola village to Caleta De Sebo on La Graciosa, great day out, 25 minute boat ride to and unspoilt fishing village, lovely swimming and good food.


Chiringuito Tropical

We discovered Chiringuito Tropical while having a weekend away in the South of Lanzarote. Located in the very west side of Playa Blanca and right on the seafront, it's a perfect place to go and swim, drink, eat,  repeat! Super simple Chiringuito (beach bar) with friendly staff and great food. They have list of Paellas with 6 or 7 different ingredients combinations,  Zamboriñas con Kimchi (small grilled scallops with kimchi dressing) and they also produce their own Gin. Perfect for a sunset gastro experience! INSIDER  TIP: Definitely book a table at the weekends.
