About Las Manchas
Las Manchas is a locality of hamlets and scattered houses rather than one village, shared between Los Llanos de Aridane and El Paso. The LP-2 road marks the line: Las Manchas de Abajo lies below it and San Nicolás above. Lava from the San Juan volcano buried parts of both in 1949, and on 19 September 2021 a new eruption opened in the forest at Cabeza de Vaca. It ran for 85 days, cut the LP-2 and wiped out Todoque. Our homes stand together on the lower slopes towards Puerto Naos, and are mostly one-bedroom places for two, each with a pool and nearly all with a sauna. Puerto Naos has a 400 metre Blue Flag beach of dark sand and gravel.
Is Las Manchas right for you?
- Best for
- Couples wanting a pool, a sauna and volcano walks
- Not for you if
