For those looking for a different and unique place, this charming island is perfect for you!
La Graciosa is a flat island and in it there are four well-differentiated volcanic complexes, the complex of Las Agujas, with its 266 meters of altitude, the highest point. The island has two population centers: Caleta de Sebo and Pedro Barba.
You can visit the village of Caleta de Sebo, which welcomes you when you arrive at the port and is known for its sandy streets and set of white houses. La Graciosa is the easternmost island of the Canarian Archipelago and is located near one of the richest fishing banks in the world. Fishing is the main source of income of its inhabitants and that was the reason for the founding of the capital of the small island in the mid-nineteenth century.
