Day trip to La Graciosa

Monday, December 1st, 2008
La Graciosa is a very small island neighbouring Lanzarote. You can reach the island if you embark the ferry "El Graciosero" which departs from Orzola.
Having arrived at the harbour of Caleta, the only village on the island except for a few less inhabited settlements in the North, you can strengthen yourself in one of the lovely cafés or restaurants of the village. In Caleta you are free to rent some bicycles in order to explore the incredible beauty of the island. The Playa Francesa in the South is the most beautiful beach on the island that you can reach via bicycle. The water is clean and warm and the Mediterranean is relatively calm there.

Volcanic eruptions formed a landscape

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
The island has centuries old civilization and history. Some sources even claim that its name descended from Lanzelot, the famous knight of the company at table. It actually owes his name to the genoese merchant and seafarer Lanceloto Malocetto. The facts have been proofed historically.
Lava Landscape of the firemountains of Lanzarote
Lava-Landscape of the fire-mountains of Lanzarote
Lanzarote has been marked by the volcanic eruptions about 180 years ago. Lava and ash covered a fifth of the whole area. As an effect the most fertile, cultivable areas have been destroyed by the eruptions and a very bizarre landscape has been formed. Most of the charming landscape on Lanzarote has been conserved because the builidings do never count a lot of storeys. An interesting contrast to the black lava-rocks are the white houses and the palms and cactuses. Who spends a holiday on the ...
