Lanzarote

Lanzarote, situated approximately 125 kms off the west coast of North Africa, is a volcanic island rising out of the deep Atlantic Ocean.

It is the most northerly of the 7 Canary Islands and is on the same latitude as Florida and the Red Sea. Lanzarote benefits from a sub-tropical climate with more days of sunshine and fewer days of rain than the other Canary Islands.


Being a volcanic island, the landscape is both dramatic and contrasting and offers the visitor a wide variety of interesting sights by day and night.

Only about 60kms long and around 22kms at its widest point, the island is famous for its lunar landscape of almost 300 volcanoes.


Views of volcanic mountains, picon covered fields and rocky coastlines are broken up by a large number of golden sandy beaches and an amazing amount of well attended greenery and agriculture.

The island has been designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve.
