 
The municipality of Haría extends over the north of Lanzarote, and it is here that the highest mountains above sea level are to be found. It is noted for its fertility, as is in particular the valley of Haría, where Finca La Crucita is situated.
Away from touristic development, Haría reveals itself as as an oasis amongst the general tone of aridity which is so characteristic of the rest of the island. For this reason it is known for its Valley of Ten Thousand Palm Trees, due to the presence of these species, many of which are over a hundred years old. Procedures have been undertaken to declare the old town centre as a Historic and Artistic Site.
A visit to the tree-lined square Plaza de León y Castillo is a must. This is the very nerve-centre of the village and the Museum of Sacred Art is to be found there. The main road north leads to Guinate from which there is a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the group of islets situated to the north of the island.
We recommend seeing the agrarian countryside on route between Guinate and Órzola, a fishing village which connects Lanzarote to the nearby island of La Graciosa.
