Itinerary
Get ready for a road trip across two of the most jaw-dropping islands in the Canaries: Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Think golden beaches, volcanic landscapes straight out of another world, and vibrant, sun-soaked evenings full of Canarian energy. It’s wild, it’s warm, and it’s waiting.
We’ll kick things off in Corralejo, the buzzing heart of Fuerteventura—where we meet, vibe, and ease into island life. Then it’s off to explore: 3 days in Lanzarote and 4 in Fuerteventura, with adventure, nature, and downtime all perfectly balanced.
First stop: Lanzarote. This otherworldly island hits you with some serious wow—from the lava fields of Timanfaya National Park, to the surreal Cueva de Los Verdes, and the panoramic views from Caldera Blanca, where the ocean surrounds you on all sides. We’ll unwind in the natural pools of Los Charcones, sip wines grown in volcanic soil at La Geria, and feast on seafood before diving into the lively nights of Puerto del Carmen.
Then it’s back to Fuerteventura—aka the island of wind, waves, and golden sand. We’ll chill at Popcorn Beach, where the stones look like popcorn (yep, really), catch a wave in a surf lesson, and explore the wild beaches of Playa Cofete and Playa Sotavento. We’ll take a boat trip to Los Lobos, wander the dunes of Corralejo, and wrap it all up with some epic nights under the Canarian sky.
An unforgettable week of road-tripping, wave-chasing, wine-tasting, and memory-making—this is the Canary Islands, WeRoad style.


Welcome to Fuerteventura!
Check in: our adventure begins in Corralejo, on the island of Fuerteventura!
Flights to and from the destination country are not included in the package, so you can decide where to leave from, at what time and with the airline you prefer... This is to give you maximum freedom of choice.
Our adventure begins with check-in at our apartments and a warm welcome meeting — the perfect chance to meet the group and get into the island spirit. Once settled, we head out to explore Corralejo, the vibrant heart of Fuerteventura. With its lively waterfront, golden beaches, and laid-back atmosphere, it’s the ideal introduction to island life — and the perfect prologue to the week of adventure ahead.

Northern Treasures & Crossing to Lanzarote
Let's explore the north of Fuerteventura then jump straight to Lanzarote!
We kick off the day exploring two gems in the north of Fuerteventura. Our first stop is Popcorn Beach, the quirky, Instagram-favourite shoreline where white coral pebbles really do resemble popcorn — so cameras at the ready. Next, we head to El Cotillo, a charming fishing village famed for its fresh seafood, relaxed atmosphere, and inviting beaches. Whether you’re diving into the Atlantic, soaking up the sun, or catching your first wave, this is island life at its best.
Lunch comes with sweeping ocean views — the perfect backdrop for good food and even better company. After a leisurely afternoon, we return to Corralejo and make our way to the port. It’s time to board the ferry and set sail for Lanzarote, the wildest of the Canary Islands.
Once we arrive, we settle into our apartments in Puerto del Carmen, freshen up, and head out for an evening of tapas, seafood, and laughter — the perfect start to our next chapter in the Canaries.

Discovering volcanic Lanzarote!
The wild soul of Lanzarote, where lava flows touch the ocean
Welcome to Lanzarote, the wildest and most otherworldly of the Canaries. After a solid breakfast (fuel up—you're going to need it), we’re off to explore Timanfaya National Park, the island’s legendary volcanic reserve. Here, the ground still hisses with heat, and you'll see firsthand just how alive this island really is, geologically speaking.
Next, we’re heading up—literally. A short, scenic trek takes us to the Caldera Blanca, a now dormant volcanic crater that offers one of the best views on the island. It’s an easy climb, but the reward is huge: panoramic ocean views in every direction and the surreal sensation of standing in the heart of a volcano. It’s Lanzarote like you’ve never seen it—raw, wild, and unforgettable.
Volcanic wines & natural wonders
After soaking up the sweeping views from Caldera Blanca, we pause for a quick lunch before heading to La Geria, Lanzarote’s most celebrated wine region. Here, vines grow directly in volcanic soil — a unique terroir that gives these wines their distinctive character. We’ll taste a selection of local vintages and discover how lava-grown grapes have become one of the island’s most surprising treasures.
In the afternoon, we embrace Lanzarote’s wilder side with a refreshing dip in the natural pools of Los Charcones — crystal-clear, untouched, and a perfect expression of the island’s raw beauty.
As evening falls, we return to Puerto del Carmen to freshen up before heading out along the seafront. With lively bars, welcoming restaurants, and boutique shops lining the promenade, it’s the ideal setting to toast another unforgettable day on the island.

Let's explore the North of Lanzarote!
Off-the-Grid paradise on La Graciosa
We fuel up with a hearty breakfast — you’ll need the energy today. Backpacks packed, we hit the road and head north to Órzola, where a short ferry ride takes us to a hidden gem just off the coast: La Graciosa.
Tiny, wild, and beautifully untouched, this island — whose name fittingly means “the graceful one” — is pure paradise. We’ll explore it by 4x4, tracing rugged tracks through volcanic landscapes and stopping at secluded coves where the water is impossibly turquoise.
The vibe today is simple: swimsuit, comfortable shoes, and an open spirit. With no fixed plans, it’s all about exploring at your own pace, diving into hidden bays, and soaking up the feeling of total freedom. This is off-the-grid island life — WeRoad style.
The underground lava tubes of Lanzarote!
After a delicious seafood lunch back in Órzola, we trade sun-drenched beaches for the hidden world beneath the island’s surface. Our next stop: Cueva de los Verdes, one of Lanzarote’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
Formed thousands of years ago by lava flows from the eruption of Monte Corona, this vast network of tunnels offers a glimpse into the island’s fiery past. As we venture deeper inside, we’ll follow winding passages lined with glistening stalactites and stalagmites, discover crystal-clear subterranean lakes that reflect like mirrors, and experience an otherworldly landscape shaped entirely by nature..
Thanks Lanzarote! Back to Fuerteventura
Back to Fuerteventura — coastlines & chill
We start the day in Playa del Carmen, check out, and hit the road one final time in Lanzarote, heading south to Playa Blanca to catch the ferry back to Fuerteventura. Once we arrive, it’s all about slowing down and embracing island life at its most relaxed.
The afternoon is dedicated to the wild beauty of the Costa Calma coastline, where golden sands and rolling waves set the scene for a perfect beach day. We’ll explore some of the island’s most breathtaking shores — from the dramatic expanse of Playa Escalera to the untamed beauty of Playa Cofete and the windswept stretch of Playa Sotavento. Swimsuit, sunscreen, and a laid-back spirit are all you need.
As the day winds down, we’ll toast the sunset with an ice-cold beer, watching the sky turn shades of gold and rose. Then it’s back to Corralejo, where music, bars, and a final dose of Canarian nightlife await.

Fuerteventura: the island of surfing!
After a day of relaxation, let's learn to surf!
Ever dreamed of riding the waves of the Atlantic, surfboard beneath your feet and the ocean breeze in your hair? Today, that dream becomes reality as we dive into one of Fuerteventura’s most iconic experiences: surfing.
Guided by expert Italian instructors from a long-established surf school in Corralejo, we’ll start with the essentials — from paddling techniques to standing up and catching your very first wave. The two-hour lesson, included in your trip package, comes with all the gear you need. No pressure, just plenty of fun (and maybe a few wipeouts along the way).
After working up an appetite, we’ll enjoy a well-earned lunch overlooking the ocean before heading to Playa del Moro, a stunning beach framed by the sweeping golden dunes of Corralejo — a landscape that feels more like the Sahara than the Atlantic.
If the wind picks up on the east coast, we’ll embrace the spirit of the road trip and head west instead, where the natural pools of Aguas Verdes offer a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path alternative. Today is all about chasing the best conditions, the best views, and the best vibes.

Let's end on a high note... Last day at sea!
Sailing into paradise
We bring our epic week to a close in the best possible way — surrounded by the ocean. Today, we set sail on a catamaran adventure to Los Lobos, a protected natural reserve rich in biodiversity. Fun fact: the island takes its name from the sea lions (lobos marinos) that once lived along its shores.
As we glide across crystal-clear waters, we’ll stop to swim in secluded coves, bask in the sunshine, and enjoy the soundtrack of good music, great company, and a drink in hand. Keep watch for marine life and seabirds — encounters with nature here are part of the magic.
After a sun-soaked day at sea, we return to Corralejo for a quick refresh before heading out for one final night together. It’s the perfect way to toast an unforgettable journey — and to say hasta pronto to the Canary Islands, for now.
Goodbye Canary Islands!
Check-out and goodbyes
All good things must come to an end — and today, it’s time to say hasta luego to our island adventure. We leave with golden sand still clinging to our shoes, the spirit of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote tucked in our hearts, and maybe even a sprinkle of beach dust in our bags (and swimsuits).
It’s hard not to get a little misty-eyed as we say goodbye, but every ending is just the beginning of the next journey. Until we meet again — here’s to more unforgettable adventures with WeRoad.

About Spain
If you are a UK citizen, to find out the entry requirements for Spain, you can check this informational page from our partner Sherpa. If you need a visa, you can apply for it through Sherpa. If you are not a UK citizen, you can still use Sherpa by changing the nationality in the 'Passport' section.
Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Spain – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!
- UK residents: review the FCDO Travel Advice.
- US residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
- Other residents: refer to your government or local consulate's travel advice.
Spain mainly operates on Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1. During daylight saving time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, it switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.
If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 1pm in Spain during CET and 2pm during CEST.
Keep in mind that the Canary Islands follow Western European Time (WET), which is UTC+0, and Western European Summer Time (WEST), which is UTC+1 during daylight saving time.
Spain uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but as a rough guide:
- 1 GBP is about 1.15 EUR
- 1 USD is about 0.95 EUR
- 1 EUR is roughly 1 EUR
You can exchange currency at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels. It's also convenient to withdraw Euros directly from ATMs using your debit or credit card.
In Spain you can pay using cash, credit cards, or debit cards. Most places accept major credit cards like Visa and Mastercard. It's a good idea to have some cash on hand for smaller businesses, markets, or in rural areas where card payments might not be accepted.
ATMs are widely available for withdrawing cash if needed. Keep in mind that American Express may not be accepted everywhere, so it's better to have an alternative card as a backup.
Tipping in Spain is not mandatory, but it is appreciated for good service.
- In restaurants, it is common to leave a small tip of around 5 to 10 percent of the bill.
- In cafes and bars, you can leave some small change.
- For taxis, rounding up to the nearest euro is a nice gesture.
- Hotel staff, like bellhops and housekeepers, also appreciate a small tip for their services.
Remember, tipping is not expected but always welcomed.
In Spain, the internet is generally reliable and Wi-Fi is widely available in most urban areas, hotels, cafes, and restaurants. If you're traveling from Europe or the Schengen area, you can use roaming services, which means you won't need to buy a local SIM card for data use. However, if you're coming from outside Europe and want to ensure a stable connection, consider buying a local SIM or an e-SIM data plan. Popular providers include:
- Movistar
- Vodafone
- Orange
Wi-Fi is usually free in public places, but speeds can vary, so having mobile data as a backup is a good idea.
In Spain, the primary language spoken is Spanish, also known as Castilian. However, you might also encounter regional languages like Catalan, Galician, and Basque. Here are some useful Spanish expressions you might hear or use:
- Hello - Hola
- Thank you - Gracias
- Please - Por favor
- Excuse me - Perdón
- How much is it? - ¿Cuánto cuesta?
Being familiar with these can make your interactions smoother and more enjoyable.
In Spain, you'll find Type C and Type F plugs. The voltage is 230V and the frequency is 50Hz. If you're coming from a country that uses different plug types, like the UK or the USA, it's a good idea to bring a universal adapter to ensure your devices can be charged without any issues.
The main religion in Spain is Roman Catholicism. Catholic traditions play a significant role in Spanish culture, and many public holidays are religious, such as Easter and Christmas. Major celebrations like Semana Santa (Holy Week) feature processions and events throughout the country. While the majority identify as Catholic, Spain is quite secular, and other religions are practiced as well. Dress is generally casual, but if visiting religious sites, it's respectful to cover shoulders and knees.
Spain offers a diverse climate, so packing wisely will ensure you're prepared for any adventure.
Here's what you should include in your backpack for Spain:
-
Clothing
Lightweight shirts and shorts for hot days
Long pants and a light jacket for cooler evenings
Swimwear for the beaches
A scarf or shawl for visiting religious sites -
Shoes
Comfortable walking shoes for city exploration
Sandals or flip-flops for the beach
Dress shoes if you plan on dining out -

Spain's weather can vary greatly depending on the region, so here's a quick breakdown:
- Northern Spain: Expect cooler, wetter weather, especially in regions like Galicia and the Basque Country. Summers are mild, with temperatures around 20-25°C.
- Central Spain: In cities like Madrid, summers are hot and dry, often reaching 30-40°C. Winters can be chilly with temperatures around 5-10°C.

About WeRoad
Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.
As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
An "Available" departure means that the trip isn’t confirmed yet and we’re waiting for a few more travellers to sign up… which could be you!
If you book the trip please wait for it to be confirmed before booking your international flights.
The question of all questions! Here’s some more information:
- The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all travellers on the trip and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
- It is used to streamline payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do. This guarantees flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
- It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
- You’ll find the Money Pot amount on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the Money Pot’. To find this look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money Pot? Click here’ and you’ll find the details.
- The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
- It is usually used for group expenses that all travellers decide to take part in, but sometimes if you opt out of an activity it might make more sense for it to come out of the Money Pot. In these cases the Coordinator will return the amount for this activity back to you at the end of the trip.
- It is estimated based on the experience of other groups but can vary depending on what activities your group is keen for. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
- If not all of the Money Pot is spent, the difference will be returned to all travellers at the end of the trip.
- The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the Money Pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
- If you pay in advance for part of the Money Pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded if the trip is cancelled.
We offer several payment methods to fit every need:
1. Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Klarna (you’ll pay for the trip in three equal amounts);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation up to 31 days before departure, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
Yes! We might not know the flights for everyone else in the group, but there are ways to find out which flights your fellow WeRoaders will be taking.
1. All travellers can share their flight details after booking on their My WeRoad account so that other travellers on the same trip can see these details anonymously.
2. Alternatively you can join our Facebook group: Solo Travellers | WeRoad Community – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963298767843213 ) Look for a post about the trip you’re interested in or ask the group admin for help in getting in touch with your future travel companions!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation.
The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too!
The Coordinator will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. By default this will be people of the same gender, unless you tick ‘I'm OK with a mixed gender room’ when you book. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travellers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travellers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout.
Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email [email protected] if you have a preference on this.
