Spain Uncovered - The Jewel That Is Lanzarote
Lanzarote, as with all of the Canary Islands, is hugely popular with many people from different countries, even those who go back year after year. This is mainly due to the fact that most of these islands, for the majority of the year, have constant sunshine.
There can be cloudy days but you can still burn from the sun’s rays, and if it does rain, you have only seconds to find shelter as little spots turn into huge blobs of rain in seconds.
One of the easternmost of all the islands is Lanzarote, which lies approximately sixty miles from Africa, maybe this is why the island has the least rainfall of them all.
It is very picturesque with the unusual volcanic terrain and lunar-reminiscent landscape leaving a surprise at every turn.
Getting to Lanzarote these days is a breeze with excellent ferry connections from the other islands and coupled with regular cheap flights to Lanzarote your spoilt for choice.
There are a staggering 300 volcanoes on the island, hence the nickname ‘Land of a Thousand Volcanoes. The lava fields at Timanfaya National Park leave the echoes of the violent volcanic activity that created Isla de Lanzarote. While on holiday here, don’t miss out on smoldering volcanic craters which can be found throughout the island.
