Teguise served as the capital of Lanzarote for centuries and still looks the part. Its excursions revolve around the Sunday market, the largest in the Canaries, and Santa Bárbara Castle, which watches over the town from the Guanapay volcano. The old quarter, all cobbled streets and colonial houses, takes only a short walk to cover.

Sunday mornings, roughly 9.00 to 14.00, in the old town. It is the largest market in the Canaries, and almost every operator on the island lays on transport.
It sits in the middle of Lanzarote, about 15 minutes from Arrecife and Costa Teguise and 25 from Puerto del Carmen. On Sundays, arrive early or take a tour, as the car parks fill up.
Teguise is the historic inland town, the former capital; Costa Teguise is the coastal resort, about fifteen minutes away. They are two completely different places.
Yes: it houses the piracy museum and you drive up the Guanapay volcano to reach it. From the terrace you can see half the island.
Two hours for the old town and the castle. On Sundays, with the market, allow half a day.
The César Manrique foundation in Tahíche, Haría and the north, or Famara beach, all less than half an hour away.
