Parroquia de San Ginés

We were on an NCL cruise and one of the stops was Arrecife. We spent the day exploring the city looking at all the sites. We found this church by accident and decided to check it out. It is a beautiful little church both inside and outside. Very peaceful place to visit. The square in front of the church is currently under renovation so that distracts from the overall visit a little. But we enjoyed our visit and would certainly go again.

Amazing beautiful church.

amazing quiet place. I love it here.

A really beautiful little church at the centre of the very small old town area of Arrecife, the interior is beautifully decorated with a wonderful Andalusian wooden ceiling. Very ornate. The whole building looks like it was built from the local volcanic rock. Wonderful sense of peace inside. Open most of the day, Mass Monday to Friday 7.30pm and 10.30 am and Noon on Sunday.

Still very authentic, worth visiting. Quiet

Beautiful little church only open certain times. Very warm inside Get there early so you dont miss out on a seat

As a typical Roman Catholic, I always seek out a Catholic Church while on holiday. Previously, I've attended Sunday Mass in Puerto del Carmen. We stayed locally to Parroquia de San Ginés in 2020, but I wasn't acquainted with the area then. This time, we were staying in Costa Teguise, so Parroquia de San Ginés was closest. There is a large free car park we always use when we go to Areciffe. It's about a 10 minute walk away toward the marina, if needed. The church is down a side street, I used Google walking maps, which could have been more helpful. When I arrived, some of the congregation were saying the Rosary. I don't speak Spanish, but when you listen, you know. Mass started at 7.30 pm. According to the church website, there is Mass at 7.30pm every day. Although I couldn't understand the Liturgy I could tell when it was the Gospel readings and followed by reading the English versions on my phone app. Everyone seemed friendly when it came to the sign of peace. The priest didn't greet people on the way out, but maybe it's not the custom there. The church is very attractive inside with murals of scenes from the bible, unlike UK churches where there are more statues. I think this will be my go to church when we have holidays in Lanzarote.

Very pleasant area.

I had trouble checking in to Yelp. In any event, this is a small and pretty church in the center of town. We arrived by ship into the local port of Arrecife also know as Lanzarote. It was a short walk from the port to town. The church has stained glass windows, confession area, pews and special prayer room. Well kept and clean. Photos to follow shortly.
