Lanzarote is the most popular of the Canary Islands when concerning tourism. This beautiful, volcanic landscape is breath-taking, and most of its visitors will return. Although small, the island as so much to offer, and you probably won't be able to see it all in one visit. Here are a few places to put at the top of your to-do list...
Timanfaya Volcano Park
This National Park is home to a landscape of bright and colourful volcanoes which have been dormant since 1736, when a series of eruptions lasting for six years, creating a sea of lava. The seas of lava and sands are maintained by visitors not being able to walk through the park, meaning that corrosion is minimal. You can see this spectacular sight by a commentated coach tour, which will stop off at the best points and allow for photo opportunities. There is also a fantastic restaurant situated in Timanfaya which grills its meat and fish using the heat from the lava. A tour will cost you around £10 and is open daily.
Jameos Del Agua
This stunning space was created by the artist and architect Cesar Manrique in the 1960's. This resort is an actual collapsed lava tube, and is now a stunning underground lagoon, surrounded by tropical gardens. The lagoon boasts to be the home of tiny albino crabs that glisten in the waters, which are exclusive to Lanzarote. The facilities here are second-to-none and be sure to indulge in one of the bars and restaurants.
Jardin de Cactus
When visiting Lanzarote you should definitely visit the cactus garden. The heat and the low levels of rainfall make Lanzarote the perfect climate for these wonderful species. You will not find a more varied and eye-catching range of cacti, which is why the Jardin de Cactus is one of the main tourist attractions on the island.
