Villa de Teguise

Back in the 1400s, Villa de Teguise, also known as “Teguise” or “La Villa,” was the bustling heart of Lanzarote, serving as the island’s capital until the 19th century. Perched on the slopes of Mount Guanapay, this historic village offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Today, Teguise stands as one of the best-preserved historic villages in the Canary Islands, with its narrow, winding streets and traditional Canarian architecture inviting visitors to step back in time and explore its rich heritage.
