Even though many people still associate Lanzarote solely with sun and beach tourism, it actually has many things to see. Today on the FirstMinute Excursions and LastMinute Transfer blog, we explain the numerous reasons to visit Tías in Lanzarote.

Visit Tías in Lanzarote

Tías is a municipality on the island of Lanzarote, Spain. It is located on the southeast coast of the island, about 10 kilometers from Arrecife, the capital.

It is a charming village with a warm and sunny climate, beautiful beaches, and a rich history and culture.

What to visit in Tías

One of the biggest attractions of Tías is its spectacular natural landscape. The region is dotted with volcanic hills and fertile valleys that offer stunning contrast. One of the most iconic places is Montaña Blanca, which can be climbed to enjoy panoramic views of the island.

Additionally, Tías is close to some of the most beautiful beaches in Lanzarote, such as Playa Grande in Puerto del Carmen and Playa de los Pocillos. Also nearby are Playa de Tías, Playa de Matagorda, and Playa de La Tiñosa. All of them are ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the sea.

On the other hand, its cultural heritage is also interesting. Its main monument is the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria. It was built in the 18th century and is an example of traditional Canarian architecture.

It is also possible to visit the Casa-Museo José Saramago. The Portuguese writer lived in Tías during the last 18 years of his life. Therefore, the house-museum is dedicated to his life and work.

We cannot forget that the Tías area is known for its wine cellars. Guided tours can be taken to learn about the wine-making process.

A clear example of this is the La Geria area, where vines are grown in a cone shape. It is a unique landscape that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
