Mancha Blanca is a town located to the west of the island of Lanzarote, where wine and agriculture play an important role.

It is a popular destination for nature lovers, mountain enthusiasts, and volcano explorers, as several hiking trails begin in the area.

The town is most famous for the Church of Los Dolores, the patron saint of Lanzarote, and the annual festival that takes place in her honor.

A visit to Mancha Blanca wouldn't be complete without seeing the Hermitage and Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, a religious building with striking architecture that blends harmoniously with the island's overall aesthetic.

On Sundays, you can visit the Agricultural and Craft Market of Tinajo, where you can savor and enjoy some of the island's best handmade products.

Festivals

In Mancha Blanca, every July 31, the eruption of the volcano that entered the sea in 1824 is solemnly remembered. The people of the town took the Virgen de los Dolores in procession to calm the volcano's eruption, and miraculously, the lava stopped flowing. This historical event is celebrated annually on this date.

The Los Dolores Festival is also of great importance in Mancha Blanca, with various workshops and activities taking place at the socio-cultural center, transforming the town into a lively celebration full of traditions.
