El refugio de los, Uga Overview
El refugio de los is a non-smoking holiday home in Uga, Lanzarote, Spain, set on Calle el Cango, 19 where the pace stays quiet and the surroundings feel distinctly rural. Guests tend to mention the calm, with many appreciating the terrace for morning coffee and evening downtime, plus the garden views that add a little softness to the volcanic landscape. The home also suits practical travellers: there’s free wired internet and internet access for staying connected, and a kitchen setup that makes it easier to plan simple meals rather than relying on restaurants for every occasion. A flat-screen TV helps when you want a low-key night in.
In reviews, people often highlight how well the place works as a base for exploring Timanfaya National Park and Montañas de Fuego, both roughly 10 km away, especially for early starts before the day tours fill up.

If you’re heading toward major sights, Jameos del Agua is about 32 km and the César Manrique Foundation is around 33 km, making it manageable to mix nature and culture.
