La Graciosa

An island of sand streets

La Graciosa is one of the last places in Europe without asphalted roads, its houses set on sand in Caleta de Sebo. Getting there takes line 9 to Órzola and a separate ferry, so plan the way back first.

Times read from the operator’s line pages on 12 Oct 2026; shown until 26 Nov 2026. For the 12 October and 2 November 2026 holidays, Intercity published the Sunday timetable on every line read for those dates (line 30 for 2 November only), except market line 11, which printed no trips and is left out. On a holiday, use Sun & holidays; a published timetable is not a promise that a bus runs. Times are Canary Islands time, the island’s own clock (one hour behind mainland Spain).

First use line 9 from Arrecife to Órzola, following the existing guide. Then board a separately booked ferry to Caleta de Sebo using the operator's confirmed check-in instructions. Compare the line 9 board on this page with the ferry timetable yourself and leave a generous margin in Órzola; a bus delay does not protect the sailing.

Bus guides

Arrecife to Órzola Line 9 Direct

Lines from this site’s guides. Times are in this page’s timetable.

Before you settle in

Keep the way home in mind.

Before leaving Caleta de Sebo, identify the last ferry you are willing to rely on and the later line 9 departure you intend to catch in Órzola. Seasonal sailings can change and the ferry operator warns that schedules may change for operational reasons. Return with buffer; a late boat does not make the public bus wait.

La Graciosa on Lanzarote’s bus map

A little introduction

Get to know La Graciosa.

La Graciosa changes the pace as soon as the ferry reaches Caleta de Sebo. Sandy lanes replace asphalt, low white buildings gather around the harbour and the volcanic shapes of the Chinijo Archipelago frame the water. The village supports a rewarding day without an ambitious expedition: walk the waterfront, eat locally and choose one realistic stretch of coast. Reaching it involves two independent systems. Intercity line 9 ends in Órzola; a separately purchased passenger ferry crosses to Caleta de Sebo. Their tickets and timetables are not linked, and neither operator guarantees the connection, so the return plan comes before the beach plan.

Why go

No asphalt at all

Beyond the village you get around on foot or by bike, on sand and volcanic tracks.
Europe’s largest marine reserve

The Chinijo archipelago reserve covers 70,700 hectares of some of the richest water in the Canaries.
An easy coastal circuit

The Caleta de Sebo–Montaña Amarilla route is 12.5 kilometres of low-difficulty walking, about four hours, past three beaches.

Make a day of it

What to do in La Graciosa

Sight Don’t miss

Settle into Caleta de Sebo

The harbour village is the island's practical centre and deserves time of its own. Follow the sandy streets between simple façades, watch the waterfront activity and have lunch without assuming every memorable La Graciosa day must reach a remote beach.
Walk Don’t miss

Walk a measured section of the south coast

El Salado, Los Franceses and La Cocina sit along the official Caleta de Sebo–Montaña Amarilla circuit. The full published route is 12.5 kilometres and about four hours, so choose a shorter turnaround when heat, wind, footwear or ferry time make the complete circuit unwise.
Sight Don’t miss

Notice an island without asphalted roads

Walking, cycling and licensed local transfer services shape travel beyond the village. Confirm rental or transfer terms directly and never treat an off-road vehicle as included with the ferry. Sensitive coastal terrain rewards a light footprint and staying on established tracks.
Activity

Hire a bike

Shops in Caleta de Sebo hire bikes and fix punctures. Keep to the marked trails, and expect rough ground.

Activity

Sail round the islets

Boat trips from the island visit the islets of the marine reserve, usually stopping at a beach and including lunch.
Beach

Beaches on the circuit

El Salado, Los Franceses and La Cocina all lie on the Montaña Amarilla route; turn back at any of them.

A day here

How a day in La Graciosa feels

A plan built on the buses this guide already names. The departure times are in the board on this page; choose your bus back before you set out.

Morning

Line 9, then the ferry

Take line 9 from Arrecife to Órzola, then a separately booked ferry to Caleta de Sebo. Leave a generous margin in Órzola: a late bus does not hold the boat.
Middle of the day

Caleta de Sebo

Walk the sand streets, look at the harbour and eat in the village before heading out along the coast.
Afternoon

A stretch of coast, then the boat

Walk part of the south-coast circuit and turn back in time for a ferry you trust, with a later line 9 behind it in Órzola.

Questions people ask about La Graciosa

How do I get to La Graciosa without a car?

Take line 9 from Arrecife to Órzola, then a separately booked ferry to Caleta de Sebo. Compare the line 9 board on this page with the ferry timetable yourself and leave a generous margin in Órzola.

What if my ferry back from La Graciosa is late?

The bus will not wait. Before leaving Caleta de Sebo, pick the last ferry you are willing to rely on and the later line 9 departure in Órzola; the ferry operator warns that schedules may change for operational reasons.

Good to know

Small details. Better days.

In the water

Before you swim

The tourism board sends you to La Graciosa with a swimsuit and warns that shade is scarce beyond Caleta de Sebo; no official page read for this site says anyone watches its beaches, and the consortium's rule is never to bathe at a remote beach, nor at one you do not know well enough. Swim where a lifeguard is on duty and follow the signs and their instructions. The Canary health service gives the flags one meaning: green, bathing permitted; yellow, caution; red, bathing prohibited. Other flags and signs vary from beach to beach, so read the board at the entrance and ask the lifeguard. The island's safety consortium adds: do not go in under a red flag, in strong surf or undertow, or at a remote beach or one you do not know well enough; swim parallel to the shore and never leave children unwatched. If a current takes you, stay calm and do not swim against it. In an emergency call 112.

Flags, currents and 112: the safety page

Show 3 local tips Show fewer

Save both confirmations offline

Keep the line 9 page, ferry ticket, boarding point and operator contact separately. Mobile coverage should never be the only place holding the details of the final ferry and bus you need.
Let distance set the beach choice

Carry water, sun protection and suitable shoes, and turn around early. Las Conchas and other distant places require a distinct walking, bicycle or authorised-transfer plan; do not improvise them from a village-centre itinerary.
Shade runs out fast

Once you leave Caleta de Sebo shade is hard to find: pack high-factor sun cream, a hat, a swimsuit and a light jumper for the evening.
