Spain Hacha Grande

Hacha Grande is one of the highest accessible mountains on Lanzarote and offers a stunning view on the surrounding mountains, ocean an Fuerteventura.

No need for a tripod as there are plenty of stones etc to put your camera on if you like. Make sure to bring a telephoto lens and a wide-angle of course if you like. Don’t forget to carry a lot of water as well!

You can park at the marked spot. It’s a small intersection on a gravel road next to the highway. Please do not park at the side of the highway as this is a bike lane and can be very dangerous!

From the marked parking spot follow the gravel road parallel to the highway for a few hundred meters to the next intersection. Cross the highway and follow the track uphill on the other side until you’re at the saddle. Keep following the track until it makes a left turn. At that turn, just go straight uphill (you should see a small path). Don’t worry, it’s not as steep as it first looks.

Hiking time uphill approx. 2 hours for average hikers. Downhill roundabout 1 hour.

Please do not leave any rubbish and keep your distance to the goats and walk slowly when they are around. Bring plenty of water!
