Graciosa, in the Azores, small but valuable, concentrates such a natural heritage that it won, in 2007, the classification of Biosphere Reserve by Unesco.

Canary Islands: best things to see and do and which island is best to visit
After getting to know the 8 Canary Islands and trying to soak up the culture and beauty of each island, we understood how different they are from each other and that together they form a paradise between forests, beaches, villages and panoramic views that transport us to tropical latitudes (or even to other planets like Mars).
In this guide we try to summarize all the things to see in each of the eight Canary Islands, with practical recommendations for those who are organizing the trip before arriving (which islands is best to visit, what to see in each one, what is the best time to visit, accommodations and even restaurants) and useful tips for those who are already enjoying this paradise.

La Graciosa (Canary Islands) travel guide: Best things to see and do [with map]
La Graciosa, the eighth Canary Island (barely recognized as such in 2018) despite being the smallest hides, in its 29 km2, some of the most beautiful beaches of the archipelago. Disembarking in La Graciosa is entering island mode where the days can be lived barefoot (its sandy roads, unpaved, and the absence of cars invite to such) and, above all, without haste, with the swimsuit always on and the bike ready to pedal. Of course, if you want to experience it this way, try to avoid the peak of summer because its popularity has made it saturated with visitors those days (and in the other months of the year its climate is as or more appealing). In this guide we tell you the best things to see and do in La Graciosa in one day from Lanzarote, in two days or, as we recommend, in three days (and if you can stay more days to relax, you will not regret it). Besides telling you everything you can see and do on the island, we also tell you where to rent your bike to explore it or hire a 4×4 cab, where to stay and where to eat to make the most of your trip to the island.
