There's rather a lot of photos in this post, so most of them will be uncaptioned.
Close to the sea near Malpas de la Corona, towards Orzola. I picked up a volcanic stone which we brought home. (Malpas isn't Welsh or Cornish, by the way.)
This is the apron on the harbour at La Graciosa. The restaurant where we celebrated my birthday is beyond the single person in the photograph
This is looking at the hinterland of the island. As you can see, the roads are all sand.
This is the light at the northernmost tip of Lanzarote.
And now we come to the viewpoint on Lanzarote looking across to La Graciosa. Viewpoints are not my strongpoint, so to speak, but this one was stupendous. Another one of Cesar Manrique's creations, it is situated on the northwest coast and I shouldn't have gone to it if we hadn't been so close. There were a few cars around the entrance, pictured below, which gives no sign of what you are about to see.
You go in and this is the view, more than 1500 feet up and looking down on La Graciosa, from where we had just come. If you go back up two pictures you will be able to see the hillside from sea level.
Myself and friend enjoying the view.
The Atlantic Ocean.
Another view of La Graciosa.
