The island of Lanzarote is different than the other canary isles.It has less tourism, here you can spend quiet holidays. It is a island of vulcanic origin and it is situated in the atlantic ocean. There are 130000 inhabitants, 54000 people live in the main city of Arrecife.
In the north of the island is the mountain Penas del Cache, there are no sandy beaches. In the south of the island is another mountain Los Ajaches. The sandy and long beaches are in the south or southwest.
At the Blaya Blanca in the south there are hotels, restaurants and bars.
Puerto del Carmen is even in the south and there are hotels, restaurants and some nightlife. Costa Teguise in the southwest is quiet and ideal for families.
In the backland of the isle there are still some old typical villages. I like to visit them. The climate of the island is soft-gloved all over the year, sometimes windy. If the wind comes from the Sahara it can be very hot in summer.
The artist Cesar Manrique born on this island, now his house is a museum after his death. Wonderful to see his art. In his art you see the bond between the island and the vulcano. The beauty of the island, the climate and the sun make your holiday a unforgottable adventure.
