1. This stage, around 12 km
-long, starts in Órzola, w
hose port connects the islands of Lanzarote and La G
raciosa. Step by step, the travelers w
ill go into the Natural
Monum
ent of La Corona, enjoying its badlands and the
volcano of La Corona. A
fter 10 km, the tow
n of Máguez
is visited and, after leaving behind the crossing bet-w
een La Atalaya and Peña de María H
errera, this first stage finishes at the tow
n of Haría.

2. A
bit longer than 12.5 km, the second stage starts in the
town of H
aría, leaving behind the house museum
of C
ésar Manrique. It goes through the valley of M
alpaso, som
e parts of the trail being a bit demanding and
uphill, but making it up for the travelers w
ith the ama-
zing views of the East of the island, sighting the tow
ns of Tabayesco and A
rrieta. After com
pleting the ascent near Peñas del C
hache, the travelers will shortly after
reach the area where the herm
itage of Las Nieves is
built, a privileged spot from w
here the beautiful pano-ram
ic view of the beaches of Fam
ara can be enjoyed. The stage ends by descending to the m
onumental tow
n of Teguise.

3. The shortest stage of the N
ature Trail from Ó
rzola to Playa Blanca, a bit longer than 9 km
, starts in the town
of Teguise. The travelers are seen off from the tow
n by crops cultivated w
ith lapilli sanding, which soon af-
ter are based on organic sand with vegetal barriers in
the plains of El Jable. This gentle stage ends in the ur-ban area of San Bartolom
é, a town located halfw
ay the N
ature Trail from Ó
rzola to Playa Blanca and in the cen-ter of the island of Lanzarote.

The fourth stage of the Nature Trail from
Órzola to
Playa Blanca is, with m
ore than 22 km, the longest
of them all. The route starts in the urban area of San
Bartolomé,
enjoying its
rich architectural
heritage. The path goes around C
aldera Honda and G
uatisea M
ountain, reaching the town of M
ontaña Blanca, as-cending afterw
ards between the peaks of Los M
orretes and M
ontaña Blanca. After leaving behind the tow
ns of C
onil and La Asom
ada the travelers will step into the
traditional vineyards which are part of the Protected
Landscape of La Geria. The tow
n of Uga, prior to the
ending of the stage in Yaiza, is linked to the latter by the trail that goes through the badlands, also used by the row
s of dromedaries that take tourists for a ride
through the Timanfaya N
ational Park.

6. The fifth and last stage of the Nature Trail from
Órzola
to Playa Blanca starts in Yaiza. The path is less and less uphill, and goes through the tow
n of Las Breñas, from
where a fun descent of several kilom
eters starts. There, the travelers go through the archeological site know
n as Poblado del Term
inillo. Soon after, the urban area of Playa Blanca is reached, ending thus this fifth stage and the N
ature Trail from Ó
rzola to Playa Blanca, near the beach of the sam
e name.

Protected Natural Space listed as N
atural Park by Act 12/1987, of 19th June and reclassified as Protected Lands-cape by Act 12/1994, of 19th D
ecember, furtherm
ore, it is a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA). Inside, the N
atural M
onument of La Cueva de Los N
aturalistas can be found. It covers m
ore than 5,000 ha, including 7 urban areas w
ithin it with little im
pact on the space due to the reduced population. O
n the inside it features lava lakes, volcanic cones and other interesting geom
orphologic elements,
but without a doubt the m
ain attraction of this space are the traditional vineyards, w
hich clearly exemplify the har-
monious coexistence betw
een the man and the environ-
ment, creating as w
ell a space of unrivalled natural wealth.
