Forget the ordinary, pack your sense of adventure, and prepare to be blown away by Lanzarote! This easternmost Canary Island isn't just another beach escape; it's a sculpted paradise sculpted by fiery volcanoes and fringed by crystal-clear waters. ☀️

A World of Otherworldly Beauty

Imagine stepping onto a canvas painted by nature itself. Lanzarote, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, boasts otherworldly landscapes unlike anywhere else. Explore the Timanfaya National Park, where red, black, and ochre volcanic vistas unfold before you. Wander through the Geria Valley, where vines cling to black volcanic soil, producing unique and flavorful wines. Bask on golden or white sand beaches like Papagayo or Los Caletones, their turquoise waters beckoning you in.

Rejuvenate Your Soul

With sunshine and balmy temperatures year-round, Lanzarote is the perfect island retreat. Recharge your batteries with outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, surfing, sailing, diving, or simply swimming in the refreshing waters. Explore charming towns and villages with their iconic white architecture, experiencing authentic Canarian culture and savoring fresh, local cuisine made with the bounty of the sea and land.

Art and Nature in Perfect Harmony

Lanzarote's magic lies in its unique blend of volcanic wonders and artistic expression. César Manrique, a local artist and architect, dedicated his life to preserving the island's soul. His genius shines through in unmissable sites like the Mirador del Rio with its breathtaking panorama, the Jameos del Agua volcanic tunnel transformed into an otherworldly concert hall, and the Cueva de los Verdes, a mesmerizing lava labyrinth. Immerse yourself in the Cactus Garden near Teguise, a quirky haven unlike any other.

TRAVEL DIARIES

Always watch out for those bars without glasses.

“When I was a teenager in the UK, I saved up enough cash to get a flight to Athens Greece for a few weeks and take a ferry ride through some of the islands. One small island I visited was called Ios and had a reputation for being a party destination.

Sure enough, once I had found somewhere to pitch my tent, I headed downtown with some other travelers to the town. One bar we visited was called the "Upside Down" bar. It had no glasses, so you ordered your drink, bent over backwards and put your head on the bar with your mouth open while they poured the drink directly into your mouth.

As you can imagine I got pretty hammered that night, and early in the morning I stumbled back in the direction of my campsite near the beach only to pass out on the side of the dirt track road. I woke up at dawn with a really bad headache to find out that I was bitten all over my legs and the feet by mosquitoes. My flipflops had fallen off and I was swollen and itching like never before in my life, not to mention the sore head and vomit effects.

The mosquito bites on the soles of my feet and on my toes turned out to be the biggest problem, as every time I took a few steps they started swelling up again and itching like crazy.

Ah, the things we do when we were young! Makes me laugh now, but it was pretty miserable at the time.”
