Affiliated destination
Haría, located in the north of Lanzarote, is a municipality that combines stunning landscapes, cultural identity, and a deep connection to its traditions. Known as the “Valley of a Thousand Palm Trees,” it is a place where authenticity, tranquility, and art are ever-present.
A Destination Committed to the LGBTQ+ Community
Haría is a diverse, open, and welcoming community. Its festivities, cultural spaces, and artistic projects reflect a strong commitment to equality and respect. During events like Escénica —theatre and dance days— or the MalabHaría International Circus Festival, the town creates inclusive spaces where art connects people of all identities. Its firm support for the LGBTQ+ community was reaffirmed by joining REDD, the Spanish Network of Destinations for Diversity.
Discover Our Natural Surroundings
The municipality boasts lush natural beauty that invites exploration. Through the Caminando Haría program, ten easy routes are offered to discover the area’s most iconic landscapes—from volcanic trails to scenic viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic. Haría is also the gateway to Mirador del Río, one of César Manrique’s masterpieces.
Explore Our Heritage
Haría preserves a rich history shaped by agriculture, palm leaf crafts, and the celebration of ancestral rituals. The town has revived figures like the Diablete, a tradition dating back to 19th-century Corpus Christi celebrations, now brought back to life during San Juan Night, when devils dance around fire through the streets. Haría’s festive and historical legacy lives on in its plazas, streets, and people.
Art, Culture, and Festivals
Cultural life is one of Haría’s trademarks. Throughout the year, it hosts events such as the traditional Carnival, Puesta del Mantel (a celebration of Canary Islands Day), and the aforementioned MalabHaría, which every January transforms the town square and theatre into a stage for contemporary circus with artists from around the world. Every Saturday, the market at Plaza León y Castillo features local crafts, organic products, and gastronomy, becoming a vibrant meeting point for locals and visitors alike.
Flavors of Haría
Haría’s cuisine is deeply rooted in local products: fresh fish, seafood, goat meat, and majorero cheese. Dishes such as papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, gofio, sancocho canario, lapas, or grilled octopus, along with desserts like frangollo, form a rich culinary tradition full of flavor. All of this is perfectly complemented by volcanic Malvasía wines, a source of pride for Lanzarote.
