Vacation on Lanzarote
Lanzarote, a lot to discover and a wonderful landscape to enjoy
Many special sights are waiting one the of the Canary Isles, Lanzarote, to be discovered by tourists while taking a vacation.
One of the special and differentiating circumstances of Lanzarote is the fact that the native artist César Manrique created and constructed the surroundings of it.
Due to that, buildings higher than two storeys were not to be found on the island for a long time. Nowadays in the tourist villages with high rising buildings are to be found slowly but surely as a tribute to tourism.
Yet another design characteristic of Manrique has been the same wallpaint - white - for the houses.
Originally in the fisher villages the shutters, doors and garden fences were supposed to be painted blue whereas in agricultural areas they should be painted green. By now there is a mixture of green, blue, brown and simply left in the natural state shutters, doors and garden fences. These circumstances give the surrounding a calm and quite ambiance in which one can easily find relaxation.
Another way of finding peace is by walking in the beautiful landscape of Lanzarote. The Papagayo-Beaches are lovely for swimming or lying on the white sand.
Standing on the Mirador del Río, one gets a well survey of the island.
Art lovers should visit the Jameos del Agua. Other lovely sightings for a day are:
the jardín de cactus, the national park Timanfaya, the winegrowing area La Geria, the Tropical park or the palm-valley close to Haría.
