Coverage and network

Coverage across the lava

Spain mobile networks

Lanzarote is low, dry and volcanic, with building heights restricted island-wide - a legacy of César Manrique's influence. Low buildings and open terrain are good for mobile signal, so coverage here is more even than on the mountainous Canaries.

Lanzarote, specifically

  • Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise: Well covered across the resort strips and the roads linking them.
  • Timanfaya national park: The visitor centre and the coach route have coverage. You cannot walk freely in Timanfaya - access to the fire mountains is by official coach only - so this is less of a navigation problem than it sounds.
  • The Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes: Volcanic tube caves, and no signal inside. The surface entrances are covered.
  • The wind: Lanzarote is windy year-round, which is why it draws surfers and kitesurfers to Famara. The wind does nothing to the network but it does drain a phone you keep pulling out on a beach.
  • La Graciosa: The eighth Canary island, a short ferry from Órzola. Covered in Caleta de Sebo and thin elsewhere - it has a few hundred residents and sand roads.

Lanzarote and the rest of Spain

A Spain plan covers Lanzarote, the other Canaries and the mainland - one purchase, no island extra.

Frequently asked questions

Coverage

Is coverage good across Lanzarote?

Better than on the steeper Canaries, and the reason is architectural: building heights are capped island-wide and the terrain is low and open, so there is less to block a signal. The gaps are underground in the lava tubes rather than behind mountains.

What do I need to buy a Spanish SIM here?

A passport at an operator shop in Arrecife - Spain registers physical SIMs against an identity document. There is a counter at the airport too. It is quick, though the shop choice on the island is limited compared with Tenerife or Gran Canaria.

Does the plan cover La Graciosa?

Yes - it is part of the Canaries and therefore Spain. Coverage there is concentrated in the one village; the sand tracks and the beaches beyond it are thin. The ferry from Órzola is 25 minutes and holds signal for most of it.

Troubleshooting

eSIM not working in Lanzarote?

Inside the Jameos or the Cueva de los Verdes, nothing reaches - they are lava tubes. Above ground this is a well-covered island, so check Ohayu is your data line with roaming on, then flip Airplane mode. Chat and support@ohayu.com are open 24/7.
