Lanzarote´s Superb Scenery And Attractions
Whilst Lanzarote has traditionally been linked with package holidays a growing number of independent travellers are now visiting the island. Lured by cheaper flights, great weather and some seriously spectacular scenery, as Lanzarote is home to an abundance of wonderful natural attractions many of which were forged during the massive volcanic eruptions that rocked the island during the 1730´s.
Lanzarote is the fourth largest of the Canary Islands and has been a popular holiday destination since the 1970´s. It’s still going strong today too – welcoming millions of foreign tourists every year. And whist many are here to enjoy the glorious sunshine on the beach or by the pool most still find plenty of time to explore too. The island however boasts enough stunning sights to lure them away from their Lanzarote holiday villas and apartments behind for at least a days exploring and touring.
Visitors to Lanzarote will never be short of something to do as there is plenty to keep you busy for weeks if you are prepared to abandon your typical beach holiday
With so much to do it can be hard to choose what to do or where to go, but many peoples lists include:
The Aqua Park - to some it may be sacrilege to visit a water park when you are surrounded but superb beaches and friendly coastlines but there is a child in all of us. The Aqua Park has an excellent range of slides, flumes and pools and is guaranteed to prove a popular hit for families of all ages. It's fun for all the family and makes for an unforgettable day out. or maybe The Timanfaya National Park - Timanfaya, AKA Fire Mountain is the epitome of the islands volcanic history. Here visitors will get a close up view of the islands volcanic history as well as an insight to the power that nature can unfold to the unsuspecting the devil like symbol of the park was insoired by Cesar Manrique, a famous local artist. Manriqiues passion also included architecture and he design the local restaurant here.
If the above recommendations don't suit your style perhaps try The Cesar Manrique Foundation; It is difficult to put into words the feelings that walking around Cesar Manriques former home brings, but it is easy to get a sense of the simplicity and blend of nature and architecture that were the foundations of Manriques works. The way that he transformed the volcanic bubbles into rooms exemplifies this and it is surprising to see a tree as the central focal point of Manriques symbiosis with nature. If you stop off or visit Timanfaya drive a short distance to the north of and you soon encounter the surreal sight of the Green Lagoon, which is situated just outside the village of El Golfo. This lagoon has been created by an interaction between sea water and algae and has been used as a film location many times over. Most famously by the makers of One Million Years BC.
