View of Caleta del Sebo, La Graciosa.
As if it were a toy. Everything seems miniature in this islet that is located in front of the coasts of the northwest of Lanzarote and that is part of Chinijo Archipelago (as children are called in Lanzarote) . Your extension does not reach 30 square kilometers and it was uninhabited until the end of the 19th century, when a salting factory was installed here. Today its population barely exceeds 600 inhabitants (divided into the towns of Caleta de Sebo, residential, and Casas de Pedro Barba, the most vacational nucleus), and besides, nothing seems to be changing. Although warned, it remains: there is not a single hotel, nor any building that exceeds two floors. There are only three pensions in Caleta del Sebo, the island capital, and circulation is prohibited. Is it worth taking the ferry from Órzola (it leaves practically every hour) and spend the day lying on its beaches enjoying intimacy and tranquility, touring its perimeter by bicycle (its roads are still unpaved, like those of its neighbor Famara, in Lanzarote) or inspecting the roads with a bottle or mask. depths of its seabed. If you can't go to La Graciosa, go at least to the Viewpoint of the River, by César Manrique , where, once again, architecture is put at the service of volcanic landscapes.
