Ye borders the Monumento Natural de La Corona to the northwest. Two hikes give the landscape a practical role in planning your trip: the route to Volcán de la Corona begins at the Ermita de Ye, and the Camino de Los Gracioseros starts at the edge of the village on a paved path heading towards Guinate. Festive traditions, cultural details and architectural features are also part of the picture. You can consider these as different focal points for your stay: the hikes offer various points of reference, while festival dates are tied to specific events.

Hiking Trails Around Ye

The hiking route to Volcán de la Corona is 2.7 km long and has a low difficulty level. Its gentle ascent leads to the 609 m-high volcano. Sights along the route include views of fields in the Malpaís that are artificially covered with sand. For planning purposes, it is helpful to distinguish distance from elevation: 2.7 km is the length of the hiking route, while 609 m is the height of the volcano. Check local conditions before setting out.

The Camino de Los Gracioseros begins at the edge of Ye on a paved path heading towards Guinate. The reference points mentioned for the two routes therefore differ: for the route to Volcán de la Corona, the focus is on distance, difficulty level and gentle ascent; for the Camino, it is the starting point and direction towards Guinate. If you are weighing up both hikes for your stay, these specific features can help guide your choice.

Festive Traditions in Ye

The Fiestas de San Francisco Javier de Ye also feature a range of events. A traditional evening in the 2021 programme brought together clothing from a bygone era, Canarian music and the collection of offerings in honour of San Francisco Javier. The 2022 and 2024 programmes included a Romería and a public barbecue. There were also hands-on food and craft workshops: a cheese-making workshop in 2024 and a rosette-making workshop in 2022. Together, these elements showcase different aspects of the festivities—music, community activities and craft themes. Future events and dates may vary. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival, check the relevant dates.

Culture and Design

The bronze sculpture “Busto de Poli y San Francisco Javier” was installed in the gardens in front of Ye’s church. Its location and specific title provide a distinctive point of reference for the local culture.

Mirador del Río offers another perspective on architecture and design. César Manrique conceived the building as being embedded in the terrain and covered with volcanic rock. The terrain and material are thus central elements of the design. The cafeteria serves appetizers with wines from Lanzarote, as well as barraquito, a Canarian drink made with coffee, milk, liqueur, cinnamon and lemon. If you include this offering in your plans, bear in mind that availability may change.

The hiking trails, festival programmes and cultural details offer different points of reference for a stay in Ye. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider whether you would like to focus your trip on a hike, festive traditions or cultural details.
