Amidst a tranquil and secluded environment and surrounded by sand and vegetation you will come across the Montaña Amarilla (172 metres). This small mountain has a striking beauty due to its prominent geographical formations and its varying colours. The yellowness stands out immensely and the reddish-brown plantation gives it a poker dot effect giving it a magical aura. At the root of this cove and at just 50 metres long you will find a fine sandy beach joined with an unbeatable turquoise and green sea, a must to take a dip.
La cocina is sheltered from the rivers strong current that separates the northwest coast of Lanzarote from the southern stretch of La Graciosa. This cove is accessible by foot or bicycle and takes approximately one hour and 25 minutes from Caleta del Sebo which is the capital of this archipelago island Chinijo. This unique island is a haven of tranquility and contemplation.
La cocina faces towards the entire northwest coast ofLanzarote. From here the view is magnificent. The view of Famara from here looks so far away that it seems like it forms part of the same scenery. On a clear day it is possible to see through the centre of the island by following the route between the bays of Tiagua, Soo and Tao. Due to the seas current the shore can wash up a lot of seaweed. However with thanks to the sea the shores edge is constantly being stirred allowing the water to remain exquistitly clean.
As this cove is extremely isolated it attracts a great deal of heat. You should therefore constantly keep yourself hydrated by taking regular swims. Shaded areas can be found just below the base of the mountain. In some areas you will find some natural stoned coves that are ideal spots to place a towel and umbrella for that extra bit of shelter. Seagulls and butterflies fly here often and are the only companions that generally accompany you during your day here by the sea. About ten minutes away from La cocina you will reach one of the best beaches of LaGraciosa, Francesa. Here it is a tad cooler than the beach of Montaña Amarilla.
