Natural Park of the Chinijo Archipelago, Protected natural park in the Canary Islands, Spain

The Chinijo Archipelago encompasses five volcanic islands and islets north of Lanzarote, with both terrestrial and marine territories spanning 460 square kilometers.

The Canary Islands government designated this protected area in 1986 to conserve the specific ecosystems of La Graciosa, Alegranza, and Montaña Clara islets.

The residents of La Graciosa maintain traditional fishing practices, employing methods passed down through generations in these protected waters.

Regular ferry services connect the port of Órzola on Lanzarote to Caleta de Sebo on La Graciosa, the only inhabited island within the Chinijo Archipelago.

The park represents Europe's largest marine reserve, with 700 square kilometers of protected waters containing populations of groupers and spiny lobsters.
