History
Northern Lanzarote is a product of relatively recent volcanic activity; La Corona sits in a chain of cones formed during eruptions that reshaped the island’s north.
Conservation
The Famara cliffs and nearby islets are part of protected areas (Archipiélago Chinijo); stick to marked trails, avoid disturbing nesting birds, and leave volcanic rock in place.

Hydrate for 4+ hours
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water—there’s no reliable refill on the route and the volcanic rock reflects heat.
Sturdy, grippy footwear
Wear hiking shoes with good traction to handle sharp lava and loose volcanic sand.
Windproof layer
Bring a lightweight windproof; trade winds intensify along the Famara edge and temperatures can drop quickly.
Start early
Begin in the morning (meeting at 09:30) to avoid stronger afternoon winds and harsher sun exposure.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Good grip and ankle support for sharp lava fields and loose sections.
Water bottle (1–2 L)
No reliable water stops—carry enough for the full 4+ hour walk.

Windproof jacket
Light, packable layer protects against strong trade winds along the cliffs.

Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
Open stretches and reflective rock increase sun exposure—protect skin and eyes.
