There are not many tourists or travelers that reach the island of Fuerteventura in camper or motor home, they find that only half an hour’s ferry away and for a very affordable price can cross to the island of Lanzarote, but that’s not all because from Lanzarote you can reach the largest of the islands Chinijo; “La Graciosa” doing just twenty minutes ferry ride on one of the two shipping lines that make it possible ( the information is at the bottom of this article).

Lets go to La Graciosa in a campervan, can we?Â
This is the question or surprise for many, you can really move around Lanzarote in camper or motorhome without any problem, but to go to visit the island of Graciosa its not possible with any type of vehicle, since the only there are on the island and are allowed belong to the population living there as usual, to the point that there is no public transport.
But to be objective, its well worth leaving your camper parked near Orzola (the place from where the ferry leaves) and sail to La Graciosa to meet this quiet island paradise. Anyways, if your idea is not to spend the night away from your camper it is possible to go and return in the day to Lanzarote to either stay there, or cross to the place of origin, Fuerteventura again.
In la Graciosa you can rent bikes, easier for you to navigate around the island and is also posiible to hire 4×4 vehicles with drivers to tour all or even a water taxi that will take you by boat to the sites you want to visit. While there is a lot of permanent population and has only two major towns that are Pedro Barba and Caleta del Sebo, I must say that accommodations exist and the possibility of camping in beach huts in Salao, also bars, small shops to buy food and other necessities.

Why go to Graciosa?
First, in my opinion if I were traveling or wanting to know better the eastern islands of the Canary islands , I wouldn’t not miss visiting the full group of islands.
While there are sites where its calm and absolute tranquility on the islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, La Graciosa also invites moments of introspection and deep peace.
Another reason is that because the island is classified as a marine reserve, under the water are beautiful bottoms and very rich variety of species; a perfect occasion to dive on the beaches …
Its landscape is a contrast compared to other islands
One of the things that is striking at a time and is valued in a world where there is more and more prevalent cement, is that paths or roads are still dirt. No tarmac at all! And that makes the island itself is perceived wilder and timeless.
The beaches and favorite tourist sites are
- Franceses
- Playa Cocinas
- Lambra
- Los Arcos
- Playa las Conchas
