Cross to La Graciosa — a pristine, car-free island of white sand dunes, turquoise shallows, and no paved roads — for a day of barefoot luxury that feels like the Atlantic's best-kept secret.
What to expect
The fast ferry from Órzola (40 minutes by car from port) drops you in the tiny village of Caleta del Sebo, population 700. From here, hire a bicycle or join a small guided 4x4 excursion to the wildly beautiful Playa de las Conchas on the north shore, framed by the Monte Corona volcano. Fresh grilled fish, Canarian wrinkled potatoes, and mojo verde at a harbourside table is lunch as it should be. The island's emptiness — no hotels beyond small guesthouses, no traffic — is its defining luxury.
Good to know
Allow yourself the full port day for this one — factor the 40-minute drive to Órzola, 20-minute ferry each way, plus 5–6 hours on the island. Book the return ferry the moment you arrive to secure your seat. First ferry around 09:00; last return approx. 18:00 — check the Líneas Romero timetable and confirm your ship's all-aboard time before committing.
