La Santa is a small fishing village on the north-west coast in the municipality of Tinajo. The route crosses the centre of the island rather than following the coast, which is why it takes longer than the distance suggests.
How do you get from Lanzarote Airport to La Santa?
From the airport the driver takes the main road towards Arrecife and then heads inland on the LZ-20 through San Bartolomé. Near Mozaga you pass the Monumento al Campesino, the white tower that marks the island's geographical centre.
The road continues across farmland of black volcanic gravel, where vines and vegetables grow in shallow pits, to Tinajo. From there it descends to the coast at La Santa. Traffic is usually light, though the stretch near the airport and Arrecife can be busier at rush hour.
Sports training and surf on the west coast
Close to the village is a large sports resort, and much of the demand on this route comes from athletes: cyclists, runners, swimmers and triathletes on training camps or competing in events through the year. Arrivals are often in groups with bike boxes, wheel bags and plenty of kit.
The coast here faces the Atlantic swell. The reef breaks off La Santa are known among experienced surfers and are at their most powerful in winter. Timanfaya National Park lies a short drive to the south.
Choosing the right vehicle
- One or two bike boxes
- A standard car may not take a full bike box plus suitcases. Declare each box when booking; a minivan is often the safer choice.
- A team or training group
- Groups of up to about seven with equipment usually fit one minivan. For larger squads, larger vehicles can be arranged on request.
- Surfboards
- Give the number and length of the boards so the provider sends a vehicle that can carry them safely.
