Lanzarote is the eastern most of the Canary Islands, you can find out all the exoticism of the most astonishing volcanic locations, where the hand of man has managed to mix together art and nature, creating striking sites of vast beauty. On many of them, Cesar Manrique, Lanzarote’s most widespread artist, left his unforgettable fingerprint converting deserts of lava into true oasis of rock, water and tropical vegetation. Evidence of this is `Jameos del Agua´, an complex labyrinth of caves and volcanic tubes, a true paradise for the senses, housing an area for leisure and culture. Here you can enjoy live music and dance in a setting which is a sight in itself.

The island, has become a point of reference for the world in natural structural design, and how tradition and modernity can be blended and amalgamated to give the best of themselves.

Getting to know Lanzarote is an memorable experience. Take the Ruta de los Volcanes in the Timanfaya National Park and discover every corner of this fabulous island on foot, horseback or by bike along its beautiful footpaths. Just as outstanding is the group of little islands known as the `Chinijo Archipelago´, an outstanding natural park made up of La Graciosa, Alegranza and Montaña Clara, together with Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste.

The island’s beaches will enthrall you with their crystal-clear waters. Some have sand that is stunning white while others are of dark volcanic sand; some are calm and relaxing while others feature powerful waves, perfect for such sports as surfing or windsurfing. Beneath the sea surface, the volcanic forms house an appealing and colourful marine fauna, which is greatly respected by divers.

On Lanzarote, you will spend days that are exclusive and intense nights: big-game fishing, days playing golf next to the sea, exceptional cuisine and leisure, art and cultural centres that are very close to top-quality hotels.

The main tourist areas of Lanzarote are Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca.
