Isla Graciosa is an island just
north of Lanzarote, it is 6.5km long and 3km wide with not much more than a
small village and a marina. It is a perfect place to anchor to shelter from the
north easterly winds, with a beautiful sandy beach and lots of space. On arrival there were 18 other boats in the
anchorage and we easily found space and settled in. It was stunning locations
looking up at the cliffs on the north coast of
Lanzarote
and the mountains of the west coast in the distance.

The beach was about 45 minutes walk
from the village, all along the almost deserted beach. There are ferries
running around every 30 minutes from the mainland so the main village does get
reasonable busy with tourist but you still feel like you are out on a limb,
perfect.

After a couple of days we were
joined with Vikki for a week, life continued at our leisurely pace with
swimming/snorkelling and exploring the island.
