Canary Islands / Lanzarote
 
THE AREA
Canary Islands / LanzaroteBathed in year round sunshine, Lanzarote is an amazingly different island with an incredible moonlike landscape, barren yet starkly beautiful. All new development is strictly monitored, keeping buildings white-washed and low-rise, using natural materials and even restricting the woodwork to two colours of paint ensuring they blend harmoniously with the surroundings.

Lanzarote's coastline is made up of long golden stretches of wide sandy beaches punctuated by little coves and bays where watersports abound. Despite its barren appearance, Lanzarote is surprisingly fertile and local crops include an abundance of figs and onions. The volcanic landscape has its own particular fascination and the careful attention to tradition and development has ensured Lanzarote retains much of its original character and culture.

Lanzarote's oldest and most popular resort is Puerto del Carmen, once a small fishing harbour, it now spreads along its wide beach of volcanic sand. The town has a wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants and also boasts the liveliest nightlife on the island.

A more quieter resort is Playa Blanca on the southern tip of Lanzarote. Set around an attractive harbour, from which the ferry to Fuerteventura departs, it is still a relaxed and low key village with a small range of shops, cafes and restaurants. There is a good sandy beach along with some of the best beaches on the island close by including the famous Papagayo nudist beach.
 
ACTIVITIES
Worth visiting is the Timanfaya National Park with its famous, 'Montaņas del Fuego' (mountains of fire) and a huge expanse of lava fields. Admission includes a fascinating guided coach tour with the opportunity to take a camel ride up the side of a volcano and eat in the park's restaurant where all the cooking is done with natural heat from a volcano.

There are numerous water sports available - windsurfing is a particular favourite, along with diving. There is an 18 hole golf course situated in the modern, purpose built resort of Costa Teguise.
