Nazaret – Culture, Landscape and Lagomar

Nazaret is a collection of white houses extending southwards along the slopes of Las Laderas. Las Laderas is a palaeocliff at the topographic end of the Risco de Famara, with fossil-bearing stratigraphic outcrops. The townscape and geological classification represent two different focal points. When choosing a holiday apartment in Nazaret, you can consider these perspectives alongside culture, trails and destinations in the surrounding area.

Culture

A cultural landmark in the town is the Ermita de Ntra. Sra. de Nazaret; it has protection level 1. Lagomar has a central lake surrounded by palm trees and lush vegetation. Lagomar’s Casa de Omar Sharif serves as a museum and includes a café. Lagomar extends across a former quarry for volcanic rock and includes caves, tunnels and terraces. The LagOmar restaurant offers avant-garde cuisine, with local products predominating.

For families with different interests, this thematic separation can be helpful: the religious building, landscaped grounds, museum and gastronomy can be viewed as separate components of a day. When choosing accommodation, you can first determine your preferred focus and then compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies.

Geographical setting

In the immediate vicinity of Nazaret are the Museo Lagomar, the Galería de Arte diVINO museum and the Casa Museo Palacio Spínola. The Museo Tanit is also located in the surrounding area of Nazaret. The distinction between the immediate vicinity and the surrounding area provides two spatial levels for planning, which you can consider separately.

This spatial gradation can also be used as a simple planning aid. Destinations in the town, in the immediate vicinity and in the surrounding area form different frames of reference, without creating a fixed order for your stay.

Hiking

The Los Valles–Tahíche route passes through Nazaret and names the Ermita de Nazaret as one of its points of interest. In the surrounding area are the Mirador de El Risco de Famara viewpoint, the Mirador Del Bosquecillo viewpoint and the Mirador Rincón de Haría viewpoint. Playa de las Cucharas beach is also located in the surrounding area.

For you as a trip planner, this does not result in a uniform daily itinerary, but rather a series of planning points. The route, viewpoint and beach represent different forms of structuring a day, while culture and gastronomy set a different focus. When choosing your accommodation, you can compare this weighting with the specific details on the offer pages and assess the three areas separately.
