Lanzarote Spain

Located just 79 miles from the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is the easternmost of the Canary Islands. Like the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a volcanic origin. Due to recent eruptions in the 18th and 19th centuries, many parts of Lanzarote seem otherworldly, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'. Among the many impressive volcanic features of Lanzarote is the world's longest Volcanic Tunnel, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. Despite the island's volcanic nature, Lanzarote boasts several beautiful white beaches such as those at Playa Blanca, Papagayo, and Caleton Blanco. Balance your time between relaxing on the beach and visiting the extraordinary sights created in the volcanic landscape by local artist and environmentalist César Manrique. Don't miss a tour of the Timanfaya national park either. Take a boat to the island of La Graciosa off the northern tip for a blissful day swimming in crystal clear water. Visit some of the vineyards in La Geria and rent bikes to challenge yourself on some of the excellent cycling routes around the island. The capital city, Arrecife, where cruise ships dock, may lack charisma but is welcoming. Southwest of here is the main resort of Puerto del Carmen. It's a lively place with a long, tiled promenade linking four miles of beaches and bays. It's perfect for families with teenagers seeking some excitement, or for vacationers who want a mix of shopping, dining, and nightlife. Costa Teguise, on the other side of Arrecife, is a more modest and peaceful alternative that has become increasingly upscale in recent years. It tends to attract an older crowd.
