The full GR131 starts on the North coast of Lanzarote at Orzola and finishes about 347 miles away on El Heirro after traversing all of the Canary islands. This part route will cover the first section from Orzola on the North coast of Lanzarote to Playa Blanca on the South coast. Most of the route will follow quiet roads, dirt roads and tracks with the occasional rugged narrow path. Lanzarote has many volcanic cones across the island and the route passes many of them but never actually summits any of them, staying low on their slopes. The path passes through many cultivated areas due to the fertile volcanic ash. The route also passes through Haria, Teguise, San Bartolome, and Yaiza where the are shops and cafes where food and water should be available to stock up on. The last 13 miles is mostly downhill before you arrive in the busy resort of Playa Blanca.
