Uniquely different from the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is a fascinating island of unusual beauty and vivid contrasts that has a character all of its own. Lanzarote, lying just 60 miles away from the coast of Africa, benefits from its closeness to the Sahara Desert, enjoying a climate of clear blue skies with hardly a cloud to interrupt day after day of endless sunshine.

An extraordinary landscape of awe-inspiring beauty has naturally formed on this volcanic island and strict planning control, pioneered by Lanzarote's famous architect and artist, César Manrique, has resulted in the orderly development of low rise, modern buildings which blend beautifully into the existing traditional countryside. The island also offers a wide range of villages, markets, shopping centres, restaurants, bars and discos for those looking for nightlife, while sunworshippers can enjoy the long, wide beaches and relaxed, tranquil atmosphere.

Lanzarote is also an excellent venue for watersports enthusiasts as windsurfing, snorkelling and aqualung diving are popular and plentiful. A visit to the incredible lunar landscape of the Timanfaya National Park, - home to the Fire Mountain, should not be missed, while the natural caverns at Jameos del Agua, with its breathtaking views, is also well worth a visit. For anyone with even a passing interest in art, the César Manrique Foundation is spectacular - a beautiful and fascinating building set in the midst of a lava landscape. Here you can get an insight into the raison d'être behind Lanzarote's unique architecture. Other extraordinary designs of César Manrique's include the Jardin de Cactus and Mirador del Rio, both open to visitors.
