One of the most romantic stories of the island is that of “Los Novios de El Mojòn”, two stylized figures, a man and a woman, created at the end of 1900 by Seña Teodomira (1865 – 1940) with the indigenous ceramic technique. The ceramist, originally from El Mojon, Teguise , was one of the most important ceramic artists, representing this art, which is still alive throughout the island. The first ceramic engaged couple made by Seña Teodomira was purchased in 1932 by Mr. José Ferrer Martín as a souvenir of his marriage bond and is now exhibited and can be visited at the M.E.T., Tanit Ethnographic Museum of San Bartolomé in Lanzarote. Over time, these two figures have become iconic and bring with them a magical character linked to fertility and a religious character  linked to the marriage proposal. In the past, the man who asked his beloved in marriage gave her the male figure . The woman, in case of an affirmative answer, gave the man the feminine figure . Over time this ritual tradition has been forgotten, but the purchase of the two ceramic figures remains as a memory and symbol of one's marriage bond. Having remained a traditional and romantic icon of the island at the same time, they are a beautiful and romantic travel souvenir. You can buy them at the Teguise market , in traditional shops and in some traditional ceramic workshops : made in different sizes they are easy to transport. by Casa MIALMA Lanzarote

A village of white houses nestled in a “palm tree valley” and protected by the Risco de Famara mountain range: this is HARIA . Located in the northern part of Lanzarote, it was defined by the Canarian writer Alberto Vazquez as "the most beautiful village on the island". The green landscape here is completely different compared to the harsh lands of the south; thanks to the presence of the Risco de Famara and the "Volcano della Corona" , with its 609 meters of height, the region remains very green, because the altitude attracts clouds and nocturnal condensation. In addition to the landscape, the climate here is also decidedly cooler : traveling from north to south on the same day, or the contrary, it is possible to experience a temperature difference of several degrees. A trip to the north on the hottest days offers a pleasant coolness. The Haria palm valley, on the other hand, exists thanks to an ancient tradition dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when the birth of each child was celebrated by planting palm trees : one for the birth of a female, two for the birth of a male. Haria is a city waiting to be discovered. Every Saturday morning , in the central square, you can stroll among the stalls of its famous "Haría Artesanal" market , dedicated to crafts and ecological agriculture.
