6La Graciosa, Canary Islands

Just off the northern coast of Lanzarote, La Graciosa feels like a forgotten world. Officially recognized as Spain’s eighth Canary Island, it has no paved roads, and locals travel by bicycle or jeep across golden dunes and volcanic landscapes. The island’s tiny capital, Caleta de Sebo, is a charming fishing village where life moves at a different rhythm.

Beaches like Playa de las Conchas and Playa Francesa are wild and remote, perfect for travelers seeking untouched natural beauty. Snorkeling, hiking, and stargazing are popular activities here, and the island’s night skies are among the clearest in Europe.

Why visit? La Graciosa is about reconnecting with nature in its rawest form. No cars, no resorts—just pure, rugged island life.
