LANZAROTE

Lanzarote is the most volcanic amongst the Canary Islands. The island has many black sanded beaches and impressive volcanic craters, canyons and valleys, which started to develop about 22 million years ago, creating a lunar landscape. The area is famous for its pleasant climate all year round, which makes it a very attractive tourism destination. The famous artist and architect César Manrique was born and lived on the island, where nowadays his house and a César Manrique foundation can be visited. He was mostly known for his deep connection with the nature, which could be seen in his work. He also had great influence on the development of the island and prevented high rise hotels to be built.
