Mystic Island
Lanzarote is the most unusual and astonishing island in the Canaries. Visitors can enjoy
the variety of landscapes and attractions to explore on the “mystic island”: the
Timanfaya National Park with its impressive volcanoes, the La Geria region with its
green vineyards on black soil, Papagayo with its golden-sandy beaches, El Golfo with
its green lagoon in a collapsed crater and the Risco de Famara with its endless beach
stretching out below the cliff.
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Lanzarote’s landscape is the result of many years of struggles by mankind to dominate
the harsh climate and geology of the area. Farming and fishing have been carried out
in balance with the environment and have become a sign of cultural and landscape
identity. Lanzarote was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993.
Cesar Manrique
Visitors to Lanzarote should not miss the art and cultural centres scattered throughout
the island. Most of them were designed by the famous Lanzarote-born artist Cesar
Manrique, and they are a fascinating symbiosis between natural beauty and intelligent
architecture.
Eternal Spring
Lanzarote enjoys a pleasant, sunny climate all year round. Sunshine and temperatures
between 20 and 25 degrees are normal in the “Isles of Eternal Spring”. Any time of the
year is ideal for taking a trip, trying out one of the outdoor sports activities on offer or
enjoying the marvellous beaches.
