Introducing La Caleta de Famara
Years before he hit the big time, Manrique whiled away many a childhood summer on the wild beach of La Caleta de Famara. It’s one of the best beach spots on Lanzarote and a place where you don’t have to fight for towel space on the sand. This low-key seaside hamlet, with its dramatic cliff views, has a youthful, bohemian vibe and makes few concessions to the average tourist, aside from a few choice restaurants overlooking the surf.
