There´s so much more to Lanzarote than just beaches and great weather. Which is why this small Canary Island is one of the hottest travel destinations in Spain. Here we take a look at how to get the best out of your break on the island.
Eat Out At The Devils Diner
Watch your food being cooked by the heat of a volcano! Lanzarote is home to some of the most pristine volcanic scenery on the planet. Created as recently as the 1730´s. Don’t worry as there is no imminent danger of an eruption. But the temperatures just beneath the surface of the earth in the volcanic regions still reach up to 400 degrees C. Take a tour of the park and finish off with some volcanic barbecued chicken.
Castaway at Papagayo
As you´d expect on a holiday island there are a lots of great beaches on Lanzarote. But the real jewel in the crown can be found in the south of the island close to the resort of Playa Blanca. Where visitors can explore seven seperate coves which are collectively known as Papagayo, which means parrot in Spanish. Hope from beach to beach throughout the day.
Discover the Magic of Manrique
Modern day Lanzarote has been firmly shaped by the local artist Cesar Manrqiue. His influence is everywhere, with his wind toys adorning roundabouts and his seven centres of at and culture still ranking as the most popular attractions on the island.
Manrique also fought during the 1970´s and 80´s for controlled tourist development and won a number of notable victories. Such as securing a ban on high rise buildings. Visit his former home at the Cesar Manrique Foundation find out more about the man and his influence on Lanzarote.
Wonderful Wine Routes
Wines from Lanzarote and the Canaries where very popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The sweet grape variety Malvasia was cultivated across the islands and exported tot eh courts of Europe. William Shakespeare was a big fan – and name checked the wine in a number of his best know works. Although it is possible that he had a vested interest – as he enjoyed an annual stipend of 365 gallons of Malvasia wine as part of his role as poet laureate.
