2025-12-11 Playa Mujeres hike

A hike to Playa Mujeres is one of those Lanzarote walks that feels effortless yet deeply rewarding. The trail winds gently through the golden hills of the Papagayo area, opening up to wide views of the Atlantic long before you reach the shore. As you walk, the landscape shifts from dusty volcanic paths to soft sand, with the sea growing brighter and bluer at every turn. Playa Mujeres itself appears like a calm, open crescent — spacious, quiet, and framed by low cliffs that glow warm in the afternoon sun. Down by the waterline, a small ruddy turnstone trotted confidently across the rocks, flipping pebbles in search of snacks as if it owned the entire beach.
