The Islet of Lobos, designated a Natural Park, is situated in the Strait of Bocaina, which separates the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

The first stage of the GR-131 begins on this islet, so we can already imagine the uniqueness of this beautiful spot. 
To reach this unusual stage, we will need to take a boat from the port of Corralejo. During the journey, we will enjoy a pleasant trip through the strait known as El Río, and upon arrival, we will reach El Muelle, a small jetty serving as the entry and exit point for visitors. This is where the first stage of the GR 131 begins, from which two paths branch off. We’ll take the one on the left, as the one on the right leads towards Casas del Puertito, which lies outside our GR route. 

We’ll continue along the path through a barren landscape with sparse vegetation until we reach Calera Beach, where the marl will surprise us with a stunning display of colours. The path continues, leaving the Caldera de la Montaña on the left—a 127-metre-high volcanic cone—which we can climb via one of the various tracks we’ll find along the way. It is common to see, on both sides of the path, the striking green of the sweet tabaiba (Euphorbia balsamifera), which will accompany us for much of the route. Finally, we will head towards Caleta de la Madera, which we will skirt to finish at the foot of the Martiño Lighthouse.

 There is an alternative route that we suggest for the return journey. It starts at the foot of the Martiño Lighthouse and will also take us to El Muelle. We can clearly spot it at a crossroads at the end of this stage. This path will take us to the salt marsh of Las Lagunitas, where it is easy to spot the evergreen Limonium ovalifolium ssp. canariense, a Canarian endemic species with a very restricted distribution, as it appears that its only populations exist on the island of Lobos. 
Furthermore, along this route, we will come across various cisterns and lime kilns, structures used by the Majorera culture to make the most of their limited resources.
