From the airport take the motorway in the direction of "Arrecife"

• Take the first exit to "Playa Honda"
• At the first roundabout keep straight parallel to the motorway
• At the next big roundabout take the third exit under the motorway and follow the signs to "San Bartolomé"

If you would like to do some food shopping en - route take the second exit instead. After 500 meters you get to the "Deiland" Shopping Centre, open Monday to Saturday 10 - 10 p.m. with a well stocked and reasonably priced supermarket and Health Food shop on the first floor.

Something more typical is the shop of “ Lourdes ” in the village of “Soo”. It has specialties of Lanzarote, in particular their home made goats cheese – open every day from 9 to 3 and 5 to 9pm.

To return to the route to Amatista go back to the roundabout under the motorway and take the first exit on your right signposted to “San Bartolome”.

After passing through “San Bartolomé” you come to a roundabout, on the other side of which is the tall white “Monumento del Campesino” (one of the first works of Cesar Manrique showing clearly the influence of Picasso and Cubism). Take the second exit to “Mozaga”

• At the next roundabout take the third exit to " La Vegueta por el Peñon "
• After approximately 4 km you will pass a yellow house with arches on your right
• 1 km further you will arrive at the crossroads in the village of “La Vegueta” where there is a small football pitch on your right and local shop with yellow letter box in front of you. Turn left to “Mancha Blanca”
• After 500 m you will come to a large very pink house on your right. Just after it turn left onto the first narrow tarmac road called “Camino las Huertitas”
• After another 400 m just before the white wall of the first house on this road turn right. This house has on the corner an “Amatista” sign outside it (If you miss that turn you will end up in a cul-de-sac).
• Follow the road up, and around to the left. On your left at the end of this road you will see the entrance sign for Amatista.
