The most beautiful spots on Lanzarote

Lanzarote was created with the opening of the Atlantic Ocean, with its magical colours and scarred rocks. You will be enchanted by all of the hidden spots on the island.

Lanzarote’s wonders are almost all hidden underground. In the town of Haría, you can find a spectacular lava tube, ending as it arrives at the spectacular Cueva de los Verdes cave, whose interior reaches 510 meters high— looking up will give you vertigo, reminding you just how deep you can go.
Not far away you’ll find Jameos de los Aguas, where the holes produced by the sinking of a lava tube will leave you speechless. If you are staying at one of our Lanzarote hotels you can visit them by asking at reception, where we will clear up any doubts you may have so you can easily get to this amazing enclave.

What you cannot miss in Almería
Almería is one of the most enchanting provinces in Spain. Here are some tips for you to make the most of your visit.
This southern region in Spain is filled with beautiful coves and historical sites. If you are staying in Elba Almería Business & Convention Hotel, keep reading and take note of what to do in Almería.
What to do in Almería
This Andalusian city is very popular amongst hikers. The beautiful natural parks and routes in the area are the perfect place to leave your daily routine aside and reconnect with nature.

Enjoy autumn to the fullest
What exciting new adventures will the new season bring? Here are some ideas for the perfect autumnal family getaway.
Many of us were sunbathing by the beach just a few days ago, but now the golden season has begun. Time really does fly!
However, we could do with a break from the heat. The cooler temperatures of autumn will allow you to enjoy a whole new selection of exciting plans near our hotels.
What to do in autumn
A wine tasting is always a good idea. The Canary Islands are famous for having over 80 grape types, and this time of the year is perfect for a wine route. La Geria is a spectacular volcanic sand vineyard in Lanzarote, where piles of rocks protect the grapes from the aggressive winds.
Andalusia has some of the best hiking routes in the country, such as El Caminito del Rey. The view from the steep pass El Desfiladero de los Gaitanes will leave you breathless.

Summer on a Spanish terrace
Explore the beauty of Spanish villages while having dinner on these summer terraces, and take a break from the heat!
Night falls, and the cool summer breeze starts to blow. It’s the perfect time to put on a thin jacket and step outside to enjoy the summer terraces that we famously love in Spain.
You’ll find plenty of information about the very well-known terraces that receive praise from bloggers. However, if you want to avoid the more touristey areas, Elba Hotels recommends the following more secluded, picturesque options.
La Casita (Montejaque, Málaga)
Montejaque is located in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. This idyllic village is filled with narrow streets and high stone walls. There, you can find ‘La Casita’; its terrace serves as a fantastic viewpoint while you enjoy a delicious pumpkin risotto paired with some local wine.
