Holiday on the Canarian island Lanzarote
Discover Lanzarote on your holiday, the northernmost of the seven Canary Islands which make up the Archipelago. Lanzarote has an impressive landscape formed by volcanic activity, which you can experience close up in the Timanfaya National Park. During your holiday explore the Biosphere Reserve which is protected by UNESCO – it has unique flora and fauna. Or enjoy the view of the Atlantic Ocean from the hotel.
Excursions on your Lanzarote holiday
Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote, is only 13 kilometres from the Seaside Los Jameos Playa. While on holiday visit the picturesque promenades in the capital and admire the white church, the Iglesia de San Ginés. A visit to the Jameos del Agua is another highlight of your holiday on Lanzarote – this unique cave system was formed by volcanic activity and is now an impressive venue for art and cultural events of every kind.
The impressive architecture on Lanzarote
The world-famous architect César Manrique has influenced the impressive characteristic architectural style on Lanzarote; all over the island you will find white buildings with soft colours, never higher than 4 storeys, lending an atmosphere of cosiness.
Enjoyment on holiday – Lanzarote and wine
Wine lovers can enjoy a range of exquisite wines on Lanzarote. While here on holiday visit the wine-growing area La Geria to see the fascinating wine-making techniques close up. The nature reserve will impress you with its traditional means of growing vines on metre-thick Lapilli, the typical black volcanic ash made out of little stones.
This is a main feature of Lanzarote and has caused the interior of the island to be nicknamed a “lunar landscape”.
