Taxis in the inland village

Low houses on straight streets, a church, a square and vines growing in the ash around them: San Bartolomé is a village of the interior. The road crossing the island passes between the airport and the south here, which is why people tend to drive through it rather than stop for the beach.

A village with a church and a square

The old quarter lies about the church and the square, with the local shops, the bars and the services of the municipality. There is no beach and no seafront: people who stay here move around the island and ring a taxi for the trips they would rather not drive themselves, most often to the capital, the airport or the neighbouring villages.

Vines grown in the ash

Out from the village the crops sit in pits opened against the wind and the ash — the landscape Lanzarote is known for — and there are vineyards nearby that take visitors. For that kind of outing, order the taxi with an hour agreed for the way back: no rank serves the pick-up point, and the wait is arranged far better on the phone.

The old-town rank, and the dispatch

A signposted rank serves the central points of the old quarter, though how often a car sits there depends on the hour and on how the day is going. The San Bartolomé dispatch covers the municipality, and it is the contact for any trip leaving the village, early airport runs included.

A short run to the terminal

The village stands on the road between the coast and the south, which makes the transfer to the terminal one of the short ones. That helps when a departure turns into a rush, but it does away with nothing: for flights in the small hours or travel in a group, order the car a few hours ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get a taxi in the village?

At the central points of the old quarter, though the cars come and go irregularly with the hour. If you see none, ring the San Bartolomé dispatch or ask at your accommodation or a bar in the village. This portal takes no bookings: the call goes to the operator.

How close is the terminal to the village?

The village sits on the island's central axis, so the run out to the terminal is a short one. The figure shown here is a road estimate, dated with the day it was checked rather than a promise of the time, and the fare is whatever the meter comes to.

Will a taxi take me out to the vineyards?

Yes — those runs around the area are part of the everyday work here. Say when you order it that you will need collecting later, so the dispatch can allow for it, and ask what it will come to at that moment: there is no fixed fare for that kind of service.

What is the way down to the coast?

Ask the municipal dispatch for a car: the road out of the village joins the main road, and from there any point on the island. On longer trips, say on the phone what luggage there is and how many passengers, so that the right vehicle comes.
