Ecology:
Central location - ideal starting point for exploring this magical island. Isolated in the countryside and with its infrastructure, Amatista is a beautiful place as to spend peaceful holidays as well as courses and seminars. Lanzarote is the oldest of the Canary Islands. The most easterly island of the archipelago, it lies 86 miles from the southern Moroccan coast and belongs geographically to the continent of Africa. Beaches: Along the dramatic coastline of Lanzarote you will find beaches with white or black sand, coves, long open stretches and lagoons with clean turquoise water in which you can swim and snorkel all year round. Some sections of the coast are ideal for windsurfing and water sports in general and others may require a short walk to enjoy the beauty of the sea in peace and solitude.

Take the second exit to “Tinajo and Mozaga” • At the next roundabout take the 2nd exit to ""Tinajo” • Pass through the village of “Tao” , • And then through the village of “Tiagua” here you will find an excellent Supermarket on your right – open till 9.0 pm (on Sundays only until 2 pm) Something more typical is the shop of “Lourdes” in the village of “Soo”, 5 minutes from Tiagua off your route. It has specialties of Lanzarote, in particular their home made goat’s cheese – open every day from 9am to 9pm. • As you exit the village of “Tiagua” keep left towards “Mancha Blanca” and “Timanfaya” • “La Vegueta” is the next village • 1 km further you will arrive at the crossroads in the village of “La Vegueta” • You will see a small football pitch on your left and a local shop with a yellow letter box on your right • After 400 meters on your right there is a large very pink house set back from the road. After 20 meters, where the road starts to go down slightly, turn left into “Camino las Huertitas” – the sign is not very visible • After another 400 meters just before the white wall of the first house on this road turn right where you see an “Amatista” sign with an arrow on it (If you miss that turn you will end up in a cul-de-sac) • Follow the road up, and around to the left another 500 meters. On your left before the end of this road you will see first the number 9 and shortly afterwards the number 11 with the entrance sign for Villa Amatista… if you go around another corner you have come too far…
