Lanzarote

The fourth largest of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has been recognised as a ‘biosphere reserve protected site’ by UNESCO with respect to the island’s incredible volcanic landscapes and unique beaches. Lanzarote is a scuba-diver’s heaven, as the combination of clear waters, white sand and abundant sea life make it one of the top areas in the world to dive. If you want to discover the many different beaches the island has to offer, then check out Papagayo Beach, which is in fact a series of small beaches wedged between lava rocks, perfect for swimming in the clear waters as well as long walks. Timanfaya National Park is another natural wonder that should not be missed, nicknamed the ‘Montanas del Fuego’ by locals, the landscape was formed by a volcanic eruption in the 18th century, while El Diablo restaurant provides fantastic panoramic views of the park. For a visually brilliant experience, one must check out Cueva de los Verdes, a lava tube that is four miles long. While if you visit Volcan El Cuervo, you can even get the opportunity to walk inside the crater and explore.

With year-round sun, you’ll love Lanzarote even in winter. Of course, winds and storms can be expected but whatever time of year you go it’s nearly always hot enough to swim on the island. In winter why not visit the restaurant and tourist centre of the Mirador del Rio designed by Cesar Manrique? With your own hire car in Lanzarote you’ll be able to tour the Timanfaya National Park in your own way.
