4 Introduction travel guide Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smallest of the Eastern Canary Islands and captivates with 300 volcanoes, which are embedded in a uniquely fascinating, contrasting landscape.

To protect the natural beauty of the volcanic island and its cultural heritage, Lanzarote was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO on 07.10.1993.

Thanks to the important island artist César Manrique, Lanzarote was almost spared the serious building sins that took place on the neighbouring islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the 1960s and 1970s. Benefit from his unique commitment to discover the many small white villages and be impressed by his unique work.

Enjoy in the north the indescribably beautiful view from the Mirador del Río to the small picturesque island La Graciosa

Explore the flaming, cooled heart of the Earth in the Cuevas de los Verdes

and discover in the underground lake in Jameos del Agua the unique small, white albino crabs.

Drive to Haría in the valley of 1000 palm trees to stroll through the authentic handicraft market, visit the artist of authentic Canarian ceramics, or watch the last basket weaver of the island at work. Don't miss to visit the Casa Museo César Manrique, the last house of the unique island artist.

In the picturesque village of Guatiza, marvel at the grandiose variety of cacti in the cactus garden, the Jardín de Cactus.

Stroll through the small alleys of the former island capital Teguise, plunge into the grandiose hustle and bustle of the Mercadillo de Teguise, the largest weekly market on the island, or look over the entire island from the Castillo Santa Barbara with the Pirate Museum, the Museo de la Piratería.

In the Museum Lagomar, the house of Omar Sharif, experience architecture like in a fairy tale from 1001 nights and let yourself be fascinated by the Fundación César Manrique, the house with the underground lava bubbles.

Contemporary art can be seen in the ancient Castillo San José with the Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporaneo.

Immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of the island capital Arrecife, stroll along the main shopping street Calle Castillo y Léon, enjoy the breathtaking view from the 17th floor of the Gran Hotel Arrecife at a café, or stroll around the Charco de San Ginés
