Graciosa, Volcanic island in Chinijo Archipelago, Canary Islands, Spain

La Graciosa extends across 29 square kilometers of golden sand beaches, volcanic terrain and scattered white buildings near turquoise waters north of Lanzarote.

The Spanish Senate officially declared La Graciosa as the eighth Canary Island in 2018, changing its previous classification from an islet to a full island.

The settlement of Caleta de Sebo maintains traditional fishing practices while supporting a population of 730 residents in white-painted houses along sandy paths.

Visitors reach the island through regular ferry services from Órzola port in Lanzarote, with crossings operating every 30 minutes across the Strait of El Río.

La Graciosa functions without paved roads, allowing only authorized vehicles and maintaining a network of sandy paths for pedestrians and cyclists throughout the island.
