66 | Gazette Life | February 2026GAZETTE | WALK LANZAROTENestling in the Ajache mountains, the sleepy little village of Fem%u00e9s was once a refuge against pirates, and the most populated settlement in southern Lanzarote. Those days are long gone, but the local church is still the sanctuary of the island%u2019s official patron saint, San Marcial. PICO DE ACEITUNA AND PICO REDONDOA short but challenging hike round some of Lanzarote%u2019s oldest volcanoes and a glimpse into one of its wildest areas.WALK INFO Distance: 5 kms.Time: 2 hours.Type of walk: Circular.Terrain: Dirt paths, rough scree, a little scrambling if you%u2019re heading up the peak. Recommendations: Take a partner, water, sun protection and strong footwear. If you twist an ankle up here, you%u2019re in trouble.We park in the main centre of the village and, taking care while crossing the main road, we head south up the C/ del Filo, which soon turns into a dirt track leading uphill to a blocky building. This is Fem%u00e9s%u2019 water deposit and to its left you%u2019ll see the enclosures where the Rubic%u00f3n dairy keeps its goats, although many of these are often left free to roam and you may encounter some on the walk.Up here you%u2019re instantly confronted with a stunning view of the Barranco del Higueral, an ancient valley carved by millennia of No.1 artificial grass company in the CanariesPayment option available, & any written like for like quote will be matchedTHE LAWN SPECIALIST%u2022 Product & Service Second to None %u2022 Specialist Unique Installation %u2022 Can be applied to any surface %u2022 Great around pools & Spas to avoid slippingGreenAsGrassPlease contact Lucy on 696 270 282 or Office 928 854 759 - gagcanaries@hotmail.com11 year guaranteeArtificialGrassPlease find us on Facebook eded to any surface %u2022PleaseWe are now in our 19th year transforming people's outside spaces...Now in our 19th year of business Now in our 18th year of business
