Haría
A white village in a northern valley, where palms grow in dense groves, known as the “Valley of a Thousand Palms,” and where Manrique spent his final years.
Haría lies in a valley surrounded by mountains in northern Lanzarote. Its slightly higher elevation and greater rainfall allow large stands of Canary Island date palms to grow, in contrast to the barren landscape elsewhere on the island, earning it the nickname “Valley of a Thousand Palms.” Traditionally, a palm was planted for every child born. The village has white walls and green doors, large shady trees on its squares, and a Saturday-morning market of handicrafts and farm produce. Manrique’s late home and studio, now a house museum, is on the edge of town. You can see the whole valley from lookouts along the mountain road.
