Planning a trip to Lanzarote this summer. Hundreds of thousands of tourists are expected to visit this popular island in the Canaries over the next few months. So what sort of attractions and sights can visitors look forward to?
Lanzarote is a semi tropical island located in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa. And along with the other six islands in the group, such as Tenerife, attracts a collective annual influx of almost ten million arrivals. Making this one of the most popular holiday regions in all of Spain.
Of all of the Canaries Lanzarote is located closest to the African coast and has a very dry climate with little rainfall. The ideal conditions for a holiday destination. But fortunately Lanzarote also offers much more than just sunshine alone, with loads to do and see here for tourists. And with flights to Lanzarote from the UK costing as little as €100 it´s child’s play to get there too.
Breathtaking Beaches
There are close to 100 beaches on Lanzarote and they are all mostly made of golden sand. Black sand beaches are common on the other islands, but not here. Which will please traditional beach lovers. The best can be found at Famara, Arrieta and Papagayo. Whilst each resort also boasts some superb stretches of sand too.
Natural Wonders
Lanzarote is home to a heap of natural beauty spots. Such as the Valley of 1000 Palms and the Green Lagoon. But the real star attraction is a beauty of a more unconventional stripe – as the islands main attraction are the twisted lava fields of the Timanfaya Volcano Park. Created centuries ago by mega-eruptions which lasted for over six years.
The Timanfaya Volcano Park is open to the public seven days a week. So book a Lanzarote hire car and head for the hills!
Cesar´s Empire
The name Cesar Manrique is virtually synonomous with Lanzarote. And visitors will soon find out that it is impossible to tour the island without bumping into his work. As it adorns roundabouts and public spaces. Whilst he also created the seven main tourist attractions on Lanzarote.
Amongst the most impressive are the Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, which is home to one of the largest collections of cacti in the world.
Holidays in Lanzarote can be enjoyed at any time of the year. So if you´re planning a stay-cation this summer you can also book a winter break here instead.
