| ABOUT
LANZAROTE |
Situated 90 miles off the coast of Africa, Lanzarote enjoys all year sunshine, and is surrounded by the crystal clear, unpolluted waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Lanzarote has a stark beauty born of its unique volcanic inheritance. Long golden beaches at Papagayo give way to acres of dramatic black lava fields at Timanfaya; the valley of palms at Haria contrasts with the towering cliffs of El Golfo and Famara.
The size of the island of Lanzarote means that you
are never too far from anywhere else and there is
plenty to see and do around the island. Tapas bars and Bodegas throughout the Island serve traditional Canarian fare. The diverse culture of the island has stimulated the development of many excellent restaurants offering a variety of international cuisine. |

| The high Saharan temperatures combined with the cooler Trade Winds make an ideal warm temperate climate all year round. |
|
| Great care has been taken to preserve the historical and artistic heritage of the island. This is very evident in the local festivals and customs and the distinctive architecture and monuments. The influence of the world famous artist César Manrique has created a pervasive artistic identity to Lanzarote. |
