Lanzarote


The island of eternal spring

Lanzarote is approximately one and a half hours drive from north to south, and the versatile landscape has something special for everyone.

The most iconic area of the island is the dramatic and humbling Timanfaya National Park. The south of Lanzarote has been shaped significantly by the volcanic eruptions that took place in the 1700's, and this is most evident amongst the rolling lava fields and red moon-like craters of the park.

Fire Mountain, in the centre of the area, is the main attraction. The views from its peak are spectacular, and even now you can feel the heat underneath your shoes as you watch the fantastic geothermic demonstrations.

The volcanic coast is lined with salt flats and black beaches. The lava met the sea here, creating water churning caves. Along this road the fishing village of El Golfo can be found, where you can enjoy some fresh seafood with views out to the Atlantic, or hike across the cliffs to the incredible green lagoon.

If you enjoy wine, then La Geria is well worth a visit too, for a spot of picturesque vino tasting next door to Lanzarote's incredible volcanic backdrop.

Around the island, you will see many pieces of work from our famous and beloved architect Cesar Manrique. He shaped the island and ensured that Lanzarote's natural beauty was preserved. This is why the buildings here are white and two stories high, and why you will also find no billboards or adverts on the roadside.

Some examples of his best work can be found in the north of the island. The three main attractions, Jameos Del Agua, Cueva De Los Verdes, and Mirador Del Rio, were all designed by Cesar Manrique.

Jameos Del Agua, a collapsed subterranean lava cave, is one of the only places on earth where you can see the blind albino deep water crabs. It is incredibly peaceful here, with a blue lagoon set against stunning Royal gardens.
